Scoping Study for a Global Food Security Information Architecture

这一范围界定项目将召集必要的利益攸关方，探讨如何形成全球粮食安全信息架构（GFSIA），以支持跨国际粮食路线和供应链的安全、透明和无摩擦贸易。首先，我们将确定探索这一挑战所需的基本和相关利益相关者，并确保他们对下一阶段研究的承诺。这个新的网络将是多学科的，并将汇集食品监管机构；标准和认证机构；分销商;相关行业，如工程、包装、分析科学、金融和法律，包括为安全食品供应做出贡献的小生产者。我们将完成区块链/分布式账本技术如何支持GFSIA的最新审查。此外，科学和技术设施委员会（STFC）拥有可以应用的技术能力，从而有助于英国社会和经济基础设施的发展。该范围界定项目将确定哪些STFC能力可能提供解决方案，以解决GFSIA中利益相关方的优先事项。该项目的成果将包括GFSIA的利益相关者地图和一份报告，该报告列出了将区块链/分布式账本技术应用于食品供应链的最新技术。该报告还将列出利益相关者的优先事项，并概述哪些其他技术能力可以为本研究中的解决方案做出贡献。

This scoping project will bring together the necessary stakeholders to explore how to form a Global Food Security Information Architecture (GFSIA) to support secure, transparent and frictionless trade across international food routes and supply chains.First, we will identify the essential and relevant stakeholders needed to explore this challenge and we will secure their commitment to the next phase of research. This new network will be multi-disciplinary and will bring together food regulators; standards and certification bodies; distributors; associated industries such as engineering, packaging, analytical sciences, finance and legal, and include the small producers who contribute to a secure food supply.We will complete a state-of-the-art review of how blockchain/distributed ledgers technologies could support GFSIA. Additionally, the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) has technological capability that could be applied and so contribute to the growth of social and economic infrastructures across the UK. This scoping project will identify which STFC capabilities could potentially offer solutions that might address the stakeholder priorities in a GFSIA.The outcomes of this project will include stakeholder maps for GFSIA and a report setting out state-of-the-art in applying blockchain/distributed ledger technology to food supply chains. The report will also set out the stakeholder priorities and produce an overview on what other technological capabilities could contribute to solutions in this research.
