Food Traceability in Fruit and Vegetables Supply Chain

Abstract

Food traceability is a fundamental requirement for the agriculture of the future. The project proposed in this work uses smartphones with NFC technology in every phase of the food supply chain (production, processing, distribution and consumption) bringing the information to the final consumer. The architecture consists of a complex identification system, which transmits data to a database through apps on android smartphones during all phases of the production process. Data storage in the cloud allows information to be shared among farmers involved in the same production chain, with agricultural consortia with government institutions and with final consumers.
