Empowering Food Safety with Blockchain: A new Era of Organic Food Supply Chain Management
Blockchain Technology is valued for its ability to document and distribute transactions in an enduring, jumbled record. Right now, food supply data is stored in a single central system, which can be easily hacked or changed by corrupt officials, leading to fake or expired products being sold to consumers. With Blockchain, every step in the supply chain management supplying of food products from raw material suppliers to manufacturers, distributors, retailers, and finally consumers is secure, transparent, and tamper-proof. Each transaction (like sending food from one place to another) is stored in blocks with a unique hash code, making it impossible to alter. The system also includes Machine Learning (ML) algorithms to predict future demand for products, helping suppliers, manufacturers, consumers plan better and KMeans cluster also used to recommend the related food items of the purchased product. Consumers and government officials can use a product ID to check the entire history of a food item.
