Abstract

Ensuring food safety in a world facing escalating demand and complex supply chains is a pressing challenge. Despite increasing awareness, obstacles such as information distribution, financial limitations, and insufficient infrastructure impede food safety efforts. Blockchain technology presents a promising solution by improving transparency and traceability in supply chains, which are essential for tackling food safety issues. This study explores the integration of blockchain into food safety frameworks, emphasising its compatibility and potential to transform food production and distribution. Drawing on literature, it identifies key challenges to blockchain adoption, including regulatory frameworks and interoperability issues, and proposes strategies such as government intervention and standardisation to overcome them. Ultimately, blockchain holds immense promise in revolutionizing food safety practices, ensuring safe and nutritious food for all.

食品安全先锋:区块链与供应链监控的结合
在需求不断增长、供应链日益复杂的世界中,确保食品安全是一项紧迫的挑战。尽管人们的认识不断提高,但信息传播、资金限制和基础设施不足等障碍阻碍了食品安全工作的开展。区块链技术提高了供应链的透明度和可追溯性,为解决食品安全问题提供了一个前景广阔的解决方案。本研究探讨了将区块链纳入食品安全框架的问题,强调了区块链的兼容性以及改变食品生产和销售的潜力。本研究借鉴文献,确定了区块链应用面临的主要挑战,包括监管框架和互操作性问题,并提出了政府干预和标准化等策略来克服这些挑战。最终,区块链在彻底改变食品安全实践、确保人人享有安全营养的食品方面大有可为。
