Talk Title : “METROFOOD-IT: Leveraging Blockchain for Secure Data Management in Food Metrology”

 

Abstract

 

METROFOOD-IT is a Research Infrastructure (RI) for food metrology, funded through the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRRP), based on open-access data to support agrifood systems where blockchain technology plays a crucial role in ensuring transparent yet secure data management. The overall system targets innovation and sustainability in the food industry and includes services for food safety, healthy diets, and a circular bio-economy. The RI offers advanced services and physical and electronic resources by integrating the latest ICT concepts: the blockchain, IoT, artificial intelligence, and cloud computing. The blockchain infrastructure acts as a pivot to the entire information system, namely, tracing the steps in the data generation processes from the metrological measurements carried out in the physical environment, notarizing the generated data, managing access to notarized data to analysis and processing based on bioinformatics and machine learning methodologies, and publishing consolidated data to make them accessible to external stakeholders such as research institutes and companies. To this purpose, a dedicated environment is being deployed, comprehensive of physical storage, cloud services, and a software platform based on containerized services with a hybrid set-up obtained from the integration of public and private blockchains. During the presentation, we will illustrate the design principles and the reasons for use that characterize the above choices, as well as the expectations deriving from the full deployment of the system.
