Abstract: | The cryptocurrency revolution has introduced some interesting technology, notably the blockchain concept, which holds great potential for the agri-food sector. Blockchain is a way of storing and sharing information across a network of users in an open virtual space. The technology allows users to look at all transactions simultaneously and in real time. In the food industry, the potential is vast. For example, a retailer could easily discover who else his supplier has dealt with. |
