Last year, BG.legal organized its first meeting about blockchain and food. Companies from across the entire food chain showed great interest. There were many questions about how blockchain works, what this technology can bring when it comes to transparency in the food chain and food safety, as well as how reliable and impactful the technology is, etc.
Visitors indicated
Visitors indicated that they would like to be kept in the loop about the experiences in practical cases, which is why a follow-up meeting is being organised.
BG.legal and Food Insights are organizing a meeting during the Den Bosch Data Week about these practical experiences with blockchain projects in food
