Talk Title: Transforming Supply Chains with Blockchain
Abstract of Talk: Earlier this year, Truck loads of strawberries were destroyed following a scare in Australia that saw needles being found inside the red fruits. They destroyed a lot of good farm’s product because the could not immediately identify where the contaminated strawberries came from. (Link: https://www.mirror.co.uk/news/world-news/truckloads-strawberries-destroyed-australia-reacts-13266417). Many farmers had to suffer needlessly. Blockchain’s distributed ledger technology, implemented and coupled with IoT could have avoided extra products from being destroyed. The talk aims to explain this and many other benefits of using blockchain in supply chain management.
