Abstract

Agriculture traceability demands a large volume of data that needs to be collected across the supply chain. Very early tracking and traceability systems used workers to record the information manually which entails risks, such as faulty information recording as well as inefficient resource usage. The implementation of tamper proof semi-automated digital ledgers will have a great impact on issues such as compliance with regulations, food provenance, food fraud, and many others, and therefore will gradually increase the trust within the supply chain. This paper provides an overview on the different stages of the AgriFood supply chain and of the fundamentals of a Distributed LedgerTechnology, namely Blockchain, which can be used to mitigate some of theissues related to transparency and traceability of this sector. It also presents somesolutions that already implement this technology to enable the traceability inthe AgriFood sector. The authors also present the most important challenges and opportunities identify regarding the application of Blockchain based traceability systems for the AgriFood supply chain.
