Application of Blockchain and Internet of Things to Ensure Tamper-Proof Data Availability for Food Safety
Food supply chain plays a vital role in human health and food prices. Food
supply chain inefficiencies in terms of unfair competition and lack of
regulations directly affect the quality of human life and increase food safety
risks. This work merges Hyperledger Fabric, an enterprise-ready blockchain
platform with existing conventional infrastructure, to trace a food package
from farm to fork using an identity unique for each food package while keeping
it uncomplicated. It keeps the records of business transactions that are
secured and accessible to stakeholders according to the agreed set of policies
and rules without involving any centralized authority. This paper focuses on
exploring and building an uncomplicated, low-cost solution to quickly link the
existing food industry at different geographical locations in a chain to track
and trace the food in the market.Comment: Journal of Food Quality, 202
