Abstract:

Agricultural products are under the influence of many variables such as weather, climatic conditions, soil structure, amount of water in the soil, access to water resources and tillage methods. The large number of variables and the fact that agricultural products are based on the market economy have made the supply chain model more complex over time. It has become more and more important to monitor the quality and quantity levels of agricultural products and ensure their sustainability until they reach the final consumers. The study aims to discuss and raise awareness about the blockchain-supported smart agricultural food supply chain model as an alternative to the traditional agricultural food supply chain model. Thus, it is desired to draw attention to the advantages that blockchain technology can provide in the modern agricultural activities of the future for our country. In the study, first of all, the concepts of blockchain technology and smart contract were examined. Then, the studies in the literature on the blockchain supported smart agricultural food supply chain were analyzed with the help of the Vosviewer program. Finally, in 2021 the farmer-oriented supply chain model proposed by Jaswitha et al. was evaluated.
