Innovations for value-chain-integrity – Blockchain and food products
Please note: The livestream link will be available on 24 May on the Track My Food website.
Where our food comes from is becoming an increasing concern for us all. Pioneering agri-tech companies using blockchain technology and/or other technologies help to address issues of food origin. We are a research team consisting of academics from both Australia and Japan who are seeking to stimulate discussions on how and where blockchain technology can be further integrated into international supply chains.
We are planning a symposium to be held in Japan in May 2023 to enhance collaborations and engagements between Australian and Japanese consultants and scholars, as well as between Australian producers and Japanese consuming industries. Our aim is to demonstrate the higher value that Australian products can command, further enhancing trade and increase export opportunities for Australian producers in Japan. In this way, we believe we can increase Japanese consumer confidence in Australian sourced food products and boost bilateral relationships between the two countries.
This event is organised and sponsored by the University of Adelaide and Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade’s Australia-Japan society.
