    Beveridge, Ivana ; Angelis, Jannis ; Mihajlov, Martin
    Purpose. Although technologies such as blockchain (BCT) hold great potential to improve global food supply chains (GFSCs), our understanding of BCT use in GFSCs remains limited. The purpose of this ... study is to broaden BCT discussions by exploring its benefits and challenges across the entire GFSC. Design/methodology/approach. Qualitative interviews with 23 industry experts were used to identify and comprehend the nuanced issues with BCT application in GFSCs. Findings. The study identifies 21 perceived benefits and challenges with BCT use in GFSCs, including the benefit of broader data incentives beyond BCT use and the challenge of reluctance to assume dominant roles among the GFSC actors. Originality/value. While prior studies mostly focused on BCT use for traceability and food safety in the GFSC midstream, this study extends the scope to include upstream and midstream actors. It highlights socio-economic benefits for traditionally disadvantaged farmers in the upstream and normative challenges to its adoption in the GFSC midstream and downstream. It also identifies three paradoxes emerging with BCT use in the GFSCs including the paradoxes of food technology, transparency and de-centralization.
