The principle of the “Blockchain Food Safety Traceability System” of the Blockchain Institute is actually very intuitive. It will identify the farm source details, batch numbers, processing plants and processing data, expiration date, storage temperature and transportation of agricultural, fish, and livestock products. Details and other product information, as well as the information of each process, are recorded on the blockchain database; through the system, the origin of the agricultural, fish, and animal husbandry products it distributes and the process of each intermediate transaction can be checked at any time to ensure the product All have been tested and strengthen consumer confidence.
