摘      要：The application of blockchain beyond cryptocurrencies has received increasing attention from industry and scholars *** predicted looming food crises,some of the most impactful deployments of blockchains are likely to concern food supply *** study outlined how blockchain adoption can result in positive affordances in the food supply *** Q-methodology,this study explored the current status of the agri-food supply chain and how blockchain technology could be useful in addressing existing *** theorization leads to the proposition of the 3TIC value-driver framework for determining the enabling affordances of blockchain that would increase shared value for ***,we propose a framework based on the most promising features of blockchain technology to overcome current challenges in the agri-food *** value-driver framework is driven by the Q-study findings of respondents closely associated with the agri-food supply *** framework can provide supply chain stakeholders with a clear perception of blockchain affordances and serve as a guideline for utilizing appropriate features of technology that match organizations’capabilities,core competencies,goals,and ***,it could assist top-level decision-makers in systematically evaluating parts of the organization to focus on and improve the infrastructure for successful blockchain implementation along the agri-food supply *** conclude by noting certain significant challenges that must be carefully addressed to successfully adopt blockchain technology.
