Food Traceability
Bread on your table passes through many hands before it gets there — this system helps ensure the wheat in your food was grown, stored, and transported honestly, reducing fraud and supporting food security.
Scientists created a digital tracking system that follows wheat from farm to table using a type of secure, shared record-keeping technology. Every step — growing, storing, transporting — gets logged in a way that can't be faked, and a government app lets officials verify shipments on the spot. The goal is to make Tunisia's wheat supply more trustworthy and help the country feed itself without relying on imports.
Key Findings
The framework integrates IOTA's feeless, scalable blockchain with smart contracts to automate and record every transaction in the wheat supply chain.
AI is used within the system to predict crop yields, improving planning and reducing waste across the supply chain.
A government-issued mobile app enables real-time verification of transportation credentials by silo managers and police, directly targeting contraband and fraud.
