Food Supply Chain Management with Blockchain Technology in Implementation of Hyperledger Fabric

Abstract

Due to the expanding global population and the resulting surge in food demand, the challenges confronting the food supply chain network have to be examined and solved. These challenges encompass food safety, food fraud, traceability, and transparency in the supply chain. This paper analyzes the potential of blockchain technology to tackle these challenges by reviewing relevant literature. Addressing the limitations of current food supply chain management systems allows to suggest a new, transparent, and secure system that utilizes blockchain technology and is publicly available. The proposed system is built on the Hyperledger Fabric blockchain platform, features a permissioned distributed ledger, and efficiently stores and manages supply chain data.
