Η χρήση της τεχνολογίας κατανεμημένου καθολικού στις εφοδιαστικές αλυσίδες τροφίμων

Abstract

In recent years, a growing concern has emerged among consumers about the quality and safety of the food they buy. The food supply chain is expected to play a dominant role in alleviating this concern as its objective is to be able to control in every stage the food it supplies to the market. Therefore, in creating a sustainable food supply chain in the future, the development of new technologies and their application will be the main success factor. This master thesis is a thorough overview and critical analysis of recent literature on the use of blockchain technology in food supply chains. Initially, useful definitions and concepts relating to food supply chains, product tracing and blockchain technology are described and analyzed. Then, following the literature review, the application of blockchain technology to a supply chain that manages potato chips is examined with the aim of being able to control the product at all stages.
