Research Abstract
Traditional traceability systems in the agri-food supply chain suffer limited transparency, centralized control and vulnerability to tampering. These weaknesses affect the trust, responsibility and data verification between the parties involved. There is a clear need for a secure, decentralized and transparent infrastructure that ensures the integrity of agri-food data from “farm to fork”. In this context, advanced ICT frameworks offer the opportunity to rethink how information is generated, validated and shared across the food ecosystem. By integrating distributed-ledger technologies, IoT sensing and intelligent data processing, it becomes possible to create a continuous, verifiable representation of food processes rather than a fragmented sequence of manual records. Real-time environmental measurements, production events and quality parameters can be collected directly from the physical environment, reducing human intervention and strengthening the reliability of the digital trail.
