Abstract

In recent years, numerous scandals related to the quality, origin or objectionability of food products have severely shaken consumer confidence in food products on our shelves. Accordingly, consumers expect clear transparency about the origin and method of food production. The latter is even more relevant for food products with higher added value, such as products from local or organic production and products with a geographically protected origin.
The introduction of blockchain technologies introduces new possibilities into food supply chains, with the help of which a high degree of traceability and transparency of food production can be achieved. Consistent record keeping makes it possible to keep track of food products in the supply chain. Such records in the blockchains are decentralized, publicly verifiable and unchangeable, and as such resistant to subsequent manipulation. In the following paper, we present a prototype implementation of a solution for tracking locally-grown products supported by blockchain technologies.
