It is the “Decade of Ag” , the “Decade of the Ocean” , and the optimum time to consider a “Decade of Ocean Ag”! While we increase production of seafood in the marine environment and on land, and as we optimize our wild capture fisheries, we must collaborate to build a more resilient seafood supply chain. This is the challenge of our lifetime – to produce healthy seafood protein to feed the world, in the face of undeniable climate change. The time is now to consider the multitude of benefits to be garnered by the seafood industry through utilization of a seafood blockchain.
Blockchain provides an immutable record which will protect our seafood supply, track provenance, and promote seafood safety, sustainability, and quality control. Allowing for instant recalls, smart contracts, waste reduction and tokenization, blockchain will facilitate a more resilient seafood supply system, and provide a platform for more efficient distribution of seafood products. Fishermen, fish farmers, seafood distributors, retail markets , brand owners and processors all stand to benefit from the increased product value and efficiency of a Seafood Blockchain!
