Block-chain Technology for Food supply chains

Abstract

The technology Block-chain is most emerging and widely used in almost all the applications like supply chain management systems, healthcare, banking industries, business, IT sectors, government organizations, agriculture etc. The food products are more sensitive, and it is very hard to trace the origin, buyers, sellers, farmers with the existing centralized method. The usage of Block-chain technology is proposed and experimented in this work along with the features of decentralization, increased security, immutability, and tamper proof for supply chains. The proposed work uses the smart contract on Ethereum for food supply chain management systems, which avoids falsifying information, corrupting database, external attacks. The analysis of food supply chains is shown in the experimental results.
