Problem
Consumers, brands, and other stakeholders in the food industry lack transparency regarding the origin, processing, and compliance of food products, hindering trust and informed decision-making. Existing systems often create data silos, making it difficult to access and standardize information across the entire supply chain. This lack of visibility increases the risk of recalls and makes it challenging to verify sustainability and ethical sourcing claims.
Solution
Connecting Food offers a Food Confidence Platform that leverages blockchain technology to provide end-to-end traceability and transparency throughout the food supply chain. The platform automatically generates digital twins of food products by reading data from existing systems and tracking transaction data on the blockchain. This allows stakeholders to access real-time data on food origins, processing steps, certifications, and compliance with product specifications. Consumers can scan QR codes on product labels to view validated data and engage with the product story, while businesses can use the platform to improve quality assurance, streamline audits, and mitigate recall risks.
Target Audience
Connecting Food's platform is designed for farmers, primary producers, co-ops, aggregators, processors, manufacturers, brands, retailers, agribusiness consultants, and consumers seeking greater transparency and trust in the food supply chain.
