IBM Food Trust: revolutionizing food traceability with blockchain

IBM is one of the world’s leading technology companies, developing advanced solutions in artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and blockchain technologies.

🚀 In October 2018, IBM launched the industrial blockchain platform IBM Food Trust, transforming the approach to food safety and supply chain transparency. This innovative technology enables retailers, producers, and suppliers to collaborate within a single decentralized system for real-time tracking of product origins.
