First startup in the world to assure quality and safety of food through Ethereum based Blockchain

A Switzerland based startup called Food Supply Chain 2.0 has developed a platform where the food quality, safety, nutrition and it’s indegrients can be checked and verified through Ethereum based blockchain technology.

It offers “a reliable and comprehensive overview of all aspects of quality, safety and tracing of food from farm to fork, and to seamlessly manage commercial relationships between different actors of the supply chain.”

The startups is using  secure sensors, blockchain technology and smart contracts in the development of the platform called Food Supply Chain 2.0 built by FoodBlokchcian.XYZ

Why is it needed?

There is a growing demand in checking and verifying the food quality before consuming it. Adulteration is at peak which is one of the main cause in increase of bad health problems. Also, it hampers the growth of the body as specific and required nutrition is not available in the adulterated food items.

This causes reduction in essential minerals and vitamins in the body which is required for healthy living. Thus, immune systems get weak and people tend to catch diseases easily. In turn doctors prescribes medicine and artificial supplements to boost body minerals.

Thus consumers wants to ensure that the product they are consuming is of best quality and has essential nutrients. And that is why people have become more intelligent these days and has taken the labels mentioning all the details on the back side of the product more seriously. It is also believed that consumers are willing to pay higher prices of food products if the the quality is guaranteed.

But what if those labels are false and cannot be relied upon?

Here comes Food Supply Chain 2.0 to solve this problems.

About Food Supply Chain 2.0

Food supply chain 2.0 will build sensors which will be connected to Ethereum based Blockchain. These sensors will collect data through the supply chain. This data will then provide information like the source and origin of food, it’s cultivation and processing techniques, the region where food was grown etc which will help to judge the quality of the food product. This data will in turn help food products manufacturers to purchase those raw materials from the suppliers that offers the best combination of price and quality.

Food producers will be then able to ensure that the quality of products that went into manufacturing meets their requirements with minimum possible costing.Specific ID tags for food batches or individual food units will be created and then these ID tag can be used to trace food items throughout the supply chain and thus retrieving all the data.

Food Supply Chain 2.0 by Food Blockchain XYZ will be useful both for consumers and producers.

Consumers will be able to view the history of the product they purchase and check what farms the ingredients came from. The information can indicate how polluted a region is, whether the farmer follows good practices, and delivery and processing conditions.

Producers on the other hand can increase their prices as now they are offering high quality products guaranteeing the quality and also with the option to verify the food product, thus increasing the trust in the consumers.
