blockchain in food supply chain

Blockchain in the food supply chain is a digital, transparent ledger that records every step of a food item’s journey—from farm to table. Each transaction or movement is securely logged, and once recorded, it cannot be altered. This allows all stakeholders — farmers, distributors, retailers, and consumers — to verify the origin, quality, and safety of food products in real-time. It reduces fraud, increases trust, and enhances traceability, helping quickly identify issues like contamination and improve overall food safety and accountability across the supply chain.
