It provides a clear and accessible overview of how this transformative technology can be used to improve various aspects of agri-food systems, from supply chain management to food safety and sustainability. Blockchain technology, known for its secure and transparent ledger system, holds significant potential to revolutionize the agri-food sector by ensuring traceability, enhancing transparency, reducing fraud, and optimizing supply chains. This book explores these opportunities in depth, offering readers practical insights and detailed case studies for implementing blockchain solutions in real-world agri-food contexts. It is designed for a diverse audience, including academic researchers in food science and agriculture, agribusiness professionals, blockchain developers, and policymakers. By bridging the gap between theoretical concepts and practical applications, it enables readers to utilise blockchain technology to achieve greater efficiency, transparency, and sustainability across agri-food chains.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan data-olk-copy-source=\"MessageBody\"\u003eSina Ahmadi Kaliji\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e holds a Bachelor’s degree (2010), a Master’s degree (2012), and a Doctoral degree (2019) in Agricultural Economics.
