Why this is important

01WHY WE TRACE OUR FOODS

Before reaching our table, each food product goes through different steps, from production, processing to distribution. Tracing its journey boosts chain efficiency, with the optimisation of data and information.

02MINDFUL CONSUMERS AND TRASPARENT LABELLING

When we buy a product, we are increasingly discerning as to its provenance and characteristics. For edible oils, for instance, labels are key to identifying the differences between products (virgin, extra virgin, etc.) and their origins (regional, national, European, etc.), especially when there is a preference for Italian-made products.

03DIGITAL INNOVATIONS IN THE FOOD INDUSTRY

Digital technologies enable agri-food companies to reduce times and costs*, while also helping consumers to make safe choices. The FAO describes Blockchain as a unique opportunity for the agricultural sector, with three important benefits: an open digital ledger, improved transparency throughout the supply chain and increased ease of data recovery in critical health situations**.
