On November 27th, for the SWIT talk, Dr. Flavia Trifa, Program Manager, shared insights from her prior research on how blockchain technology, combined with mobile apps and QR codes, has been utilized as a solution in the global food industry. This approach addresses growing consumer demands and new regulations aimed at increasing transparency regarding the provenance of food products and ingredients.
