Food Supply Chain
Complex Ecosystem
The food supply chain has a complex structure with the participation of multiple players including the farmers, manufacturers, suppliers, distributors, retailers and customers. As these players are not familiar with each other, there is no mutual trust creating the need for food traceability
Zero Safety
The absence of an authentic channel to keep track of the food supply chain paves way for the addition of unsafe/contaminated food products to it resulting in zero food safety. The lack of food safety increases the probability of food borne diseases
Food Recalls
In certain cases, food recalls take place to check the quality of food or the presence of allergen in the same. Though it sounds simple in theory, food recalls are tiresome, time consuming and cost a lot of money
No Transparency
Illegal food production prevails as the traditional food supply chain has no room for the transparency of goods. Food produced by unauthorized means target largely on monetary gains with no concern for hygiene
How it works
Blockchain contrivance in food supply chain
The consumers today are so concerned about getting to know more about what they eat; where the food comes from and how it is produced. However, the conventional food supply chain fails at providing such lucidity as it witnesses the participation of various players such as growers, manufacturers, distributors and retailers before the food products finally reach the end consumer. Additionally, there is a lack of trust between the stakeholders of the food supply chain as they are strangers to each other.
Blockchain being an immutable and decentralized ledger imparts seamless transparency and 100% security to the food supply chain which in turn promises food safety to the customers and builds trust between the players simultaneously.

Blockchain Solutions for
food supply chain
Blockchain is a decentralized network with an immutable ledger base. It stores data in blocks making authentic record management possible. Besides, the participants are provided with complete transparency of Blockchain data
Food Traceability
Provenance tracking of the food products is now a cakewalk as blockchain records every minute detail right from the production phase to the delivery of the food products to the consumers. Say for instance, you can view any credential of the given food product such as where and when it is produced, the shelf life of the food product, the temperature at which it is stored and much more
Food Safety
No fraudulence activities happen in the food supply chain under the guard of blockchain. The superfluous technology fetches the proof of ownership as the food products pass through the hierarchy. In such a case, the safety and quality of the food products remain untouch
Improved Trust
As Blockchain is an immutable and decentralized network not manipulated by anyone in particular, every stakeholder of the food supply chain counts it as a reliable source. The commonness in dependency in turn encourages a player to trust every other player on the network at large
Marketplace Creation
Blockchain incorporation literally puts an end to the existence of unsafe food. With the elimination of fake products, the food supply chain reaches a higher stratum in terms of quality which helps to create an unparalleled market of its own
Blockchain Benefits
for the players
Growers
The growers of raw materials for the food products gain recognition in the commercial sphere with the implementation of blockchain in food supply chain. With good visibility, the growers have increased chances for bank loans to be sanctioned for business development.
Companies
The companies that process raw materials into food products reap the benefit of establishing their brands across the world with blockchain integration. A popular brand obviously attracts more customers in the long run leading to massive returns.
Consumers
Blockchain presents the customers with quality food products hence improving the overall quality of lives making the planet a better place to live.
Integration of IOT and AI
in the food supplychain system
Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial intelligence are the other leading technologies we have access to. Blending AI and IoT with Blockchain shall fetch superfluous merits for the food supply chain industry. With IoT, the food packages shall be tagged with valid Blockchain-powered sensors that store the temperature, shelf life and other freshness metrics of the corresponding food products ensuring food safety.
The food supply chain deals with raw materials that are perishable.Implementing AI in a Blockchain network for food supply chain fetches timely insights on the market value of the stock and helps to make decisions on the maintenance of extra stock or under stock as per the requirement.

Tip the Farmer
Isn’t it exciting when the consumers send compliments to the farmer (grower) of the food they buy because the quality of food begins with him?
Yes, Blockchain makes it all happen. With blockchain’s traceability feature, a consumer gains access to the overall history of a given food product at ease. Now, it is not a herculean task to narrow down the farmer who produces raw materials for the food
Once the right grower is identified, the consumers are free to send tips and compliments to recognize him.
Besides making the supply chain simpler while authenticating it, blockchain creates a serene ecosystem for food supply where all the stakeholders co-exist in harmony.
