2.1.2 Digital Certification Systems: Ensuring Trust and Safety

One of the fundamental components of digitalization in the food supply chain is the implementation of digital certification systems. These systems play a crucial role in ensuring the safety, authenticity and compliance of food products. They involve the use of digital signatures, certificates and blockchain technology to create a secure and tamper-proof record of a product's journey from its origin to the consumer's hands.

Digital certification systems address the need for "Authenticity, combating counterfeiting and imitations" by providing consumers with verifiable information about the origin and authenticity of food products. These systems also contribute to "Ethics (CSR)" by promoting transparency and responsible sourcing.
