    In this thesis, we aim to propose the use of Blockchain technology thoroughly to solve the challenges of today’s food supply chain management. Blockchain technology, which will be used primarily to produce solutions for a good understanding of the proposed model, has been explained. After explaining the Bitcoin technology that led to the emergence of blockchain technology, information was given about Cryptography, which is used to provide high security. The method that ensures that the data recorded with Blockchain technology, an innovative data recording method, is irrevocable. A 51 % attack (A successful 51 % attack means that one group or individual controls the majority of the processing power), a vulnerability in blockchain technology, and efforts to take precautions have been addressed. Information about Ethereum technology and decentralized, self-running organizations (DAOs) and smart contracts are provided, which enables possibilities beyond just making value transfer records possible using blockchain technology. After providing insights into the 50 sectors that are likely to be transformed by the help of Blockchain which reveals innovative ways of working; the challenges experienced by focusing on one of these sectors supply chain management sector, and the solutions that can be brought to these challenges with Blockchain are explained. Research includes a proposed utilization of Blockchain in the Food Supply Chain and observes all aspects of the industry from logistics, supply chain, food supply chain and Blockchain, furthermore, these terms are thoroughly explained to facilitate the convention of this innovative research purpose. The transaction from the traditional set of processes within enterprises to the innovative technology which is believed to change the way we do business, is expressed. A SWOT analysis is conducted to provide a better understanding on the current standards of the food supply chain in Turkey and the potential it possesses. The findings suggest that Turkey's food supply chain management has various issues in the fields of transportation intermediaries, inefficient cold chain systems, to name a few. Companies such as Amazon and Migros have begun integrating blockchain technology in their food supply chains as this method enhances and makes the supply chain more transparent, agile, and manageable.
