Optimizing global food supply chains: The case for blockchain and GSI standards 2020-10-16 .txt text/plain 10778 514 45 This chapter examines the integration of GS1 standards with the functional components of blockchain technology as an approach to realize a coherent standardized framework of industry-based tools for successful food supply chains (FSCs) transformation. A standardized framework will enhance food traceability, drive FSC efficiencies, enable data interoperability, improve data governance practices, and set supply chain identification standards for products and assets (what), exchange parties (who), locations (where), business processes (why), and sequence (when). The technological attributes of Blockchain can combine with smart contracts to enable decentralized and self-organization to create, execute, and manage business transactions (Schaffers, 2018) , creating a landscape for innovative approaches to information and collaborative systems. The adoption of GS1 standards-enabled Blockchain technology has the potential to enable FSC stakeholders to meet the fast-changing needs of the agri-food industry and the evolving regulatory requirements for enhanced traceability and rapid recall of unsafe goods. ./cache/cord-315510-vtt8wvm1.txt ./txt/cord-315510-vtt8wvm1.txt
