Food tracking on blockchain - what do you think?

In my opinion, the use of blockchain in tracking the origin of food is a very innovative idea and worth implementing. Blockchain ensures that product information, i.e. all certificates, origin and composition, will never be falsified.

This will ensure that honest businesses do not suffer losses due to the activities of fraudsters. Blockchain can reduce food waste and increase awareness of what we consume.

In recent years, companies in the agri-food industry are increasingly turning to blockchain technologies and tracking their products along the supply chain. The most important advantages of using this technology are:

1. Ease of use;
2. access to data only for qualified and authorized parties
3. interoperability between different blockchains, which ensures full interoperability with blockchains of other customers and suppliers;
4. the possibility of obtaining information from official databases.
5. simplification and digitization of documentation;
6. flexibility and quick adaptation to changes
7. reducing the risk of non-compliance in supply chains;
8. simplification of relationships, management in retail and large-scale distribution;
9. support for innovative communication and product identification, which helps in the fight against counterfeits;
10. basic support for certification and reorganization of third party inspection activities.

Another positive aspect of using this technology is the achievement of traceability, which ensures greater food safety. We will be able to know all the details of the products we buy and then consume.

All you need is the QR code on each package. As an example, I can mention the company Ivana di Forti, which has used this technology. Ivan di Forti described his idea as follows:

"The history of my company is very long and passed down from generation to generation. Today, as then, I continue to support healthy and conscious food choices to ensure the well-being of you and your family. My method is based on transparency throughout the supply chain, from the field to your plate to tell you about the attention to quality and all the details.

For this purpose, I personally select the best raw materials that I transform into healthy food products. I only choose farmers who do not use pesticides or intensive farming systems. My goal is to protect small local producers to revitalize the Sicilian economy.

I believe that agricultural excellence is a precious treasure to be exploited by using artisanal methods and respecting the natural seasonal cycles of raw materials. I also believe that fair remuneration for each participant in the supply chain is a basic condition for obtaining a high-quality product.

Knowing the individual elements that determine the selling price is a consumer right: awareness is the basis of any balanced choice. To guarantee only the best, I decided to use traditional production methods, maintaining very high safety standards, without the use of preservatives and chemical additives.

Thanks to the control system, digital monitoring and identification, I make available in real time, to all participants in the chain, the "proof of identity" of the products in every detail and at every stage of production.

As we see Mr. di Forti in very positive words, he refers to the use of Blockchain in the agricultural sector.
