Abstract: ABSTRACT
The blockchain-powered food tracing app is a computer science project developed to address the growing demand for transparency and traceability in the food industry. This app utilizes cutting-edges technology to provide users with comprehensive information the origin, journey, and quality of their food products. The primary objective of the app is to empower consumers to make informed choices by gaining access to detailed information about the food they consume. Through the app’s user-friendly interface, indviduals can scan products bar code or enter product batch code or search for a specific items to retrieve a wealth of data, including the source of ingredients farming practices, processing methods and transportation details. The gestation period of this innovation was eight months and these were literally spent doing observations, experimental work and research with the help of my Supervisor Mr P Chaka. It is a prerequisite of Bachelor of Science Honor’s Degree in Computer Science that the research be prepared to give insights of the practical experiences and its relevance to the academic curriculum.
