IoT-Blockchain driven traceability techniques for improved safety measures in food supply chain

This paper disputes describing a solution to solve safety, quality and traceability problems in food products by providing healthy electronic food networks based on Blockchain technology and internet of things (IoT). The delivery and use of fake food reaches thousands every year, and the system of fake foodstuffs and stakeholders in the food supply chain (FSC) system are not subject to appropriate conflict measures. The current status of food items is recorded at anytime and anywhere with the goal of ensuring the validity of information sources by means of IoT devices. The framework has also realized that data exchange and storage in any stage of the supply chain are enabled by Blockchain supplier ledger technology to ensure that data are available, traceable and unimpaired. It will become evident directly at any point on the network that unsafe food is identified and its further access blocked. The FSC is replicated with a Hyperledger fabric platform and compares its performance with other methods which effectively improve data transparency, enhance food safety and reduce manual operation. © 2021, Bharati Vidyapeeth's Institute of Computer Applications and Management.
