Food from across the world is available to consumers today, regardless of the season, location, or environment. The food supply chain involves numerous transactions between different people and companies. The accessibility of food from all over the world at any time only increases the complexity of the food supply chain.
What if we could simplify the processes in the food supply chain? What if we can enable that transactions can be shared securely and efficiently among all participants in the food supply chain?
Blockchain is a new technology which has the potential to reduce this complexity in the food supply chain by creating visibility and accountability. The visibility and accountability are created by connecting growers, processors, distributors, and retailers through a permissioned, permanent and shared record of food system data. Currently, more and more food companies are investigating the opportunity of using blockchain. How could blockchain be implemented and what are the challenges and benefits? 
Verstegen Spices & Sauces will share their experience with the blockchain project for the <A HREF="https://fairfood.nl/en/uncategorized/verstegen-and-fairfood-use-blockchain-to-work-for-a-better-position-for-the-farmers/" TARGET="_blank" DATA-MSYS-CLICKTRACK="0" REL="nofollow noopener noreferrer">nutmeg supply chain</A> which was presented during the World Food Day this October. Messem International will present examples of the application of Blockchain technology in the international industry of frozen strawberries. 
We would like to invite you to the Foodvalley breakfast session regarding Blockchain. During this meeting you will learn more about the Blockchain technology, and gain an insight how you can use this technology to add value to your (food) business.
