All this also benefits the final consumer and corporate reputation.
SUSTAINABILITY
The agri-food sector has always been a pioneer on issues related to sustainability.Today, thanks to these services, farmers, producers and other players in the supply chain can automatically digitize and share
easily endorsements, certificates and other documents, demonstrating that they use and promote sustainable and ethical practices. By tracing each phase of the food chain and sharing data and documents on a verified immutable register, the participants in the ecosystem can guarantee their promise at all times, declared to the final consumer.
