With new technological advances within our global food supply chain, today’s sophisticated consumers are more ethical, sustainable, health conscious, and aware, and they will continue to demand even greater, more detailed transparency in years to come. As food is sourced from different regions, tracking food globally presents many challenges. Much research is conducted to identify traceability services, tools, and due diligence measures that can be targeted via blockchain technology. This is particularly critical in the seafood industry, where fraud is very common. Food traceability is important all along the supply chain in preventing food fraud and food safety concerns.
