TRUSTyFOOD project, FINAL CONFERENCE

Blockchain technology - IS THIS THE FUTURE FOR THE AGRI-FOOD SECTOR?

We are waiting for you on November 25^th at the TRUSTyFOOD project FINAL CONFERENCE

In the last years, a lot has been said around blockchain, considering it a disruptive technology able to completely revolutionize the agri-food system. However, its real effectiveness remains subject to debate, as much of the enthusiasm appears to be driven more by hype than by concrete, large-scale implementations, or measurable impacts. As such, it is essential to critically assess whether blockchain is a genuinely transformative force or simply a technological trend yet to deliver on its full potential in the agri-food sector.

In 2022, the European Commission tasked TRUSTyFOOD consortium with providing clarity. In a multi-actor approach, thirteen partners from seven EU countries and one third country joined forces to move beyond technology-driven rhetoric, evaluating BCT role in the agri-food sector, recognising its added value but also application challenges. As the result of a long path involving an in-deep analysis of the state of the art and more than 200 external people - between experts and agri-food supply chain representatives - from 19 countries voluntarily involved in consultation’s initiatives (surveys, interviews, focus groups, working groups and Task Forces), the project produced a R&I Roadmap as its legacy, recommending a portfolio of R&I priorities and actions for the next decade to come.

The Final Conference will present the project’s evidence-based findings able to satisfy the needs and curiosities of scientific and technical personnel, policymakers as well as supply chain representatives (end users).
