Abstract:
Food Industries, at this moment, are moving towards a new phase, and this phase will be governed by consumers and not by the industry leaders. The report shows that claims on sustainability, health, wellness, and transparency would govern the future trends in the food industry. Currently, there are several cases of misleading and false claims which hamper consumer trust. So, to uphold consumer trust, authentication of claims through transparency in the food supply chain is required, and blockchain technology can bring transparency at relatively low transaction costs. Once in a blockchain network, data is very difficult to manipulate, with no single point of authority to mess and collapse the system. Though we see mostly the financial systems using blockchain\'s decentralized functionality, there is a growing trend of innovative applications being built in the supply chain area for contracts and operations. With effort in the right direction and over time, blockchain will recast how operations and processes are done across the industry, including public sectors. The paper reviews the opportunity for the blockchain in enabling food industries for future-readiness, empowering the consumers in verifying the product claims and thus prevent themselves from food fraud. In doing so, the paper considers the future trends in the food industry, identifies current food fraud cases, and outlines the various applications in the agri-food chain and challenges associated with it.

摘要:
食品工业,此时此刻,正在走向一个新的阶段,这个阶段将由消费者而不是行业领导者来管理。报告显示,关于可持续性的主张,健康,健康,和透明度将控制食品工业的未来趋势。目前,有几起误导和虚假声明的案例阻碍了消费者的信任。所以,为了维护消费者的信任,需要通过食品供应链的透明度来认证索赔,区块链技术可以以相对较低的交易成本带来透明度。一旦进入区块链网络,数据很难操作,没有单一的权威来搞乱和瓦解系统。虽然我们看到大多数金融系统使用区块链的分散功能,在供应链领域为合同和运营建立创新应用程序的趋势越来越大。随着时间的推移,朝着正确的方向努力,区块链将重塑整个行业的运营和流程,包括公共部门。本文回顾了区块链在使食品工业为未来做好准备方面的机会,授权消费者验证产品声明,从而防止自己遭受食品欺诈。在这样做的时候,本文考虑了食品工业的未来趋势,确定当前的食品欺诈案件,并概述了农业食物链中的各种应用以及与之相关的挑战。
