# Food traceability blockchain

> Farm-to-fork traceability with blockchain (or just immutable data).

**Sector**: [AgTech](https://signals.gitdealflow.com/niche-down/agtech)  
**Build cost**: Team-sized build  
**Deal velocity**: Trickle — one deal per quarter

## Why now

FDA Food Safety Modernization + EU CSRD + consumer demand = real budgets.

## What the signal looks like

Repos with supply-chain-data ingest libraries, immutable-data backends, and consumer-facing QR experiences.

## Public examples

*Public projects + categories only — we never name founders tracked inside the paid product.*

- IBM Food Trust shape
- Provenance.org
- Open-source food-trace libraries

## What this displaces

A paper trail + manual recall.
