Good Practice - Project
EIP AGRI Operational group EKOPAKT for the integrity of organic food supply chains
An EIP-AGRI Operational Group aimed to improve the traceability and marketing of organic beef in the Slovenian food supply chain through a blockchain-based system.
General information
RDP Priority
- P2. Competitiveness
RDP Focus Area
- 2A: Farm’s performance, restructuring & modernisation
RDP Measure
- M16: Cooperation
Summary
As no effective system of traceability and marketing of organic beef had been established in Slovenia, a significant part of the organically produced beef was being processed and sold as conventional meat. By introducing new decentralised digital technologies into the organic food supply chain, the project aimed to create an effective traceability system that ensured greater data integrity and transparency of the entire supply chain from farm to fork in the organic beef sector.
Results
- Agricultural holdings that use this model will be able to sell their meat in the chain as organic, for which they will receive a better payment.
- The system will create new opportunities for the development of business models based on the production and sale of organic meat and thus better conditions for marketing.
- The project will contribute to greater capacity of agricultural holdings and consultants to capitalise on the digitalisation of agriculture. The data collected will be used by the Slovenian Agricultural Advisory Service.
