This Presentation gives a brief description regarding the IBM Food Trust Block-chain initiative along with its way of working, characteristics and benefits
2. What is IBM FoodTrust?
Immediate access to actionable food supply chain data - from farm to store and
ultimately the consumer.
Complete history and current location of any food item along with its accompanying
information (i.e. certifications, test data, temperature data) in seconds.
Enables safer food, longer product shelf lives, reduced waste, faster traceability, and
better access to shared information
3. FOOD SAFETY
Securely trace products in seconds to
mitigate contamination
FOOD WASTE
Share & manage data across the
supply chain reduce product loss
IBM Food Trust
provides an
organization with a
set of Integrated
Modules
to address the
increased
complexity and build
trust in the industry.
FOOD FRESHNESS
Gain unprecedented visibility into
supply chain data for valuable insights
FOOD CONFIDENCE
Digitize essential certificates and
documents, ensure authenticity
4. IBM Food Trust withblockchain
Allows a permission-based, shared & controlled view of food supply chain information,
convenient data publishing
Enables Organizations to enter and control access to their encrypted blockchain
data.
Users can quickly locate items from the Supply Chain, by querying food product identifiers
such as GTIN or UPC, using product name

20. Joining the IBM Food Trust Block Chain
The IBM Food Trust solution assigns predefined roles that grant users Authorization to
execute specific network tasks on behalf of their Organization.
Assigning roles enables Account Administrators to easily control the level of access
provided to each individual user in their Organization.
21. ACCOUNT OWNER
Manage organization account settings and subscriptions
ACCOUNT ADMINISTRATOR
Add, delete, and modify users and can modify organization settings
CERTIFICATIONS MANAGER
Add, delete, and modify certifications & documents
FOOD SAFETY TEAM MEMBER
View data (with organization-level authorization), trace
products, and view certifications
ONBOARDING TEAM MEMBER
Create product scenarios and upload data
When onboarding new users to the IBM Food Trust solution, an
Account Administrator must assign a role to each user:
22. Data connector application
programming interfaces (APIs) allow
to upload supply chain data from
existing data stores (such as SAP) to
IBM Food Trust network for
seamless integration of data
User-friendly interfaces for desktop or
mobile use
Customized interface to view and
manage data shared by business
partners
Data upload andintegration

23. Network and
data security
IBM Food Trust provides
tamper- resistant
protection for food
transaction data,
employing the security
benefits of
IBM Blockchain platform
and Hyperledger Fabric.
Hyper ledger Fabric guarantee legitimacy and
permanence of network transactions, via
permissioned network.
The owner of the data controls who can see it
on a Hyper ledger Fabric network.
