When you visit a store or farmers market and want to make a purchase, often uncertainty arises. We are unsure about the freshness, locality, organic nature, and sustainability of the products we intend to buy.
We need the capability to scan a product and receive comprehensive information about its production origin, the producers involved, manufacturing methods, transportation details, and the seller, complete with timeframes and conditions for each stage.
It is crucial to ensure the reliability of information about the food we purchase and prevent any tampering. This is where blockchain comes into play – information written once can be read many times, and once it's written, it remains unalterable by anyone.
The producer contributes to the blockchain-based application by entering food data throughout the growth process.
The producer utilizes the blockchain-based application to prepare food for shipment by recording information on how it is produced, the production time, the responsible producer, and the tracking number.
Logistics companies responsible for delivery input information into the blockchain-based application, specifying when the food is picked up, from whom it was obtained, and when and where it is delivered.
The consumer visits the online store, supermarket, or agri-food market.
The customer needs to make a selection from a broad range of products that appear similar.
The individual scans the code using their mobile phone and gains access to the production, delivery, and store history of the product. This allows the customer to choose the best product.
