Achieving Food Security With Smart Contracts | Joanne Luciano
Manage episode 287567571 series 2895670
According to the UNs' Food and Agriculture Organization, residents of the US Virgin Islands import more than 97% of their food. Nutritional content is not what it could be farmed locally and sometimes transported food arrives rotten or cannot arrive at all when container ships can't get into port during seasonal storms. Food quality and shortage is a constant threat.
Dr. Joanne Luciano, a distinguished Professor of Data Science, at the University of the Virgin Islands, is piloting a project called “The Emerald Archipelago Supply Chain Use Case”. Her team seeks to significantly increase community access to locally farmed foods by implementing supply chain solutions built on blockchain.
When actualized, this blockchain for good project can decrease dependency on food import while reducing cost and increasing value for residents and visitors.
