This thesis explores blockchain-based solutions for food supply chains and logistics, addressing the need for secure, transparent, and efficient digital processes across complex networks. Through three design studies - focused on soft cheese production, part-loading logistics, and artisan coffee supply chains - the research develops and evaluates blockchain architectures, operational frameworks, and design principles. Key contributions include blockchain operation categories (BcOpsCat) for efficient network management and design principles for scalable, privacy-compliant systems. The solutions enhance traceability, resilience, and regulatory compliance while integrating seamlessly with existing enterprise systems. Practical validations confirm blockchain’s potential to improve transparency, trust, and innovation in supply chain management. This research advances blockchain design knowledge and provides a model for digitalizing critical infrastructures, fostering secure and sustainable supply chain ecosystems.     «
