Blockchain Technology and Agribusiness Supply Chain Management (Part 1)

This book explores how blockchain technology is transforming agricultural supply chains and strengthening agribusiness ecosystems. By improving transparency, traceability, efficiency, financial inclusion, and sustainability, blockchain addresses critical challenges such as post-harvest losses, fraud, price volatility, limited access to credit, and regulatory complexity in global food systems.

Structured across fifteen chapters, the book begins with foundational concepts of blockchain and supply chain management, then examines its adoption in agriculture. Topics include trust-building through traceability, smart contracts, blockchain-enabled insurance, financial inclusion for smallholders, consumer trust, supply chain optimisation, sustainability, regulatory frameworks, predictive analytics, emerging technologies (AI, IoT, tokenisation), and global case studies demonstrating real-world impact. Key Features: -Provides interdisciplinary analysis of blockchain and agribusiness supply chains
-Practical implementation frameworks and adoption models with real-world global case studies and policy recommendations
-Covers of emerging technologies and future-ready insights
-Bridges theory and practice for both academic and professional audiences
