Global food systems, from agricultural production to processing, distribution, retail sale, food processing, and the resulting waste in the entire process in the supply chain, create greenhouse gas emissions that cause climate change. At the same time, some negative environmental effects such as misuse of spring water, environmental pollution, and loss of biodiversity may occur during the production of food. While access to food is a major problem in underdeveloped countries, food waste is a concern in developed countries. In addition, people want to trust the food they consume, and they want to know under what conditions the food they consume is produced and whether it comes to their table as promised. Especially in the field of gastronomy, many people are curious about the adventure of food. Issues such as traceability, transparency, reliability, and efficiency offered by blockchain technology ensure that waste can be prevented; on the other hand, it also provides the opportunity for consumers to monitor their food from field to table and provides a more sustainable food system.
