AbstractWith its several unique and useful applications, blockchain has proven to be a positively disruptive technology in various sectors. Blockchain applications for the food sector had been successfully developed and practised numerous times. The stakeholders of the food supply chain (FSC) are actively exploring the diffusion strategy for the blockchain. The present chapter identifies and analyses the Critical Success Factors (CSFs) that can facilitate the successful adoption of Block Chain Technology (BCT) in FSC. The results of the study highlight that the “Technological maturity (CSF3)” and “Resiliency (CSF5)” are the potential driving CSFs while “Information security and reliability (CSF1)” and “Trust and collaboration (CSF9)” are the most dependent CSFs for BCT adoption in FSC. The analysis from the study draw the contextual and hierarchical relationships among the identified CSFs of BCT adoption in FSC. The outcomes can assist the policymakers in the successful dissemination of BCT and enhancing the performance of FSC.KeywordsFood supply chainBlockchainInterpretive structural modellingInformation systemDriversTheory building
