Abstract
The agrifood supply chain has grown more complex as a result of recent pressure on feed producers to adopt healthier and more environmentally friendly production techniques. While some technological advancements, such as blockchain technology, were considered as huge opportunities in this context, attempts to apply them to the whole sector have been hampered by their complex implementation, due to issues such as the industry's heterogeneity or added costs. Yet, as proved in other industries, blockchain technology may be the ideal replacement for expediting and boosting the efficacy in agrifood supply chains.
