Improving Traceability and Security in Food Supply Chains with Block chain

Abstract

Lack of transparency, ineffective traceability, and susceptibility to fraud and contamination are just a few of the many issues facing the global food supply chain. Blockchain technology, which provides a decentralized, transparent, and immutable ledger system, has emerged as a viable remedy for these problems. This project investigates how to improve security and traceability throughout food supply chains by integrating blockchain technology. Blockchain guarantees real-time data sharing, automates compliance checks, and improves stakeholder responsibility by utilizing distributed ledgers, smart contracts, and consensus algorithms. The proposed approach demonstrates how blockchain can provide end-to-end visibility, reducing the risks of counterfeit products and improving response times during food safety incidents. In the block chain ecosystem, the report also emphasizes the significance of incorporating artificial intelligence (AI) for predictive analytics and Internet of Things (IoT) devices for real-time data collecting. Simulations and case studies demonstrate how block chain-enabled food supply chains greatly increase productivity, customer confidence, and regulatory compliance. The revolutionary potential of block chain technology in establishing a safe, open, and sustainable food supply chain is highlighted by this study.
