Dairy Farmers of America (DFA), national co-op marketing of milk, which unites more than 14.5 thousand farmers, will test the capabilities of the blockchain in agriculture and food production.
As reported by the organization in a press release, a pilot project on traceability of dairy products will be implemented on the blockchain the platform ripe tech startup.io. It is aimed at increasing transparency of supply chains, which should help to increase the confidence of buyers who will be able to get information about the product, starting from the place of origin.
“Consumers today want to know where their food comes, and the blockchain technology similar to ripe.io provides data in real time that can really help to increase trust and confidence in food production from beginning to end,” said Vice President of DFA David Darr (Darr David).

At the moment the task of the organization to evaluate the technology and learn how it can benefit the supply chain, said David Darr.
