本文旨在解释美国中西部一家公司在鸡蛋从农场到消费者的生产和供应链交付系统中实施区块链技术。其中一个主要的研究问题是如何利用和应用区块链，使货物在全球供应链中更准确、更透明地移动。该公司在开发用于工业的此类系统方面处于领先地位，并详细介绍了鸡蛋分发的用例。目标是使用区块链和物联网（IoT）技术跟踪从农场到餐桌的产品。通过建立可追溯和透明的食品供应链，消费者可以获得所需的信息，从而对他们购买的食品和他们支持的公司做出明智的选择。对于食品供应链中的利益相关者来说，具有可追溯性和透明度可以与客户建立更好的关系，提高效率，并降低食品召回、欺诈和产品损失的风险和成本。区块链技术和这项业务正在为修复和改变世界粮食系统创造一个案例。
This paper aims to explain the implementation of blockchain technology in the production and supply chain delivery system for eggs from farm to consumer by a company based in the Midwestern USA. One of the primary research questions answered is how blockchain can be utilized and applied to more accurately and transparently move goods through global supply chains. This company is at the forefront of developing such systems for use in industry, and a use case for egg distribution is detailed. The goal is to track products from farm to fork using blockchain and internet of things (IoT) enabled technologies. By creating traceable and transparent supply chains for food, consumers can attain the information they need to make informed choices about the food they buy and the companies they support. For stakeholders in the food supply chain, having traceability and transparency builds better relationships with their customers, increases efficiency, and reduces the risk and cost of food recalls, fraud, and product loss. The blockchain technology and this business are creating a case for fixing and transforming the world's food system.
