“The current method for tracking carbon emissions has proven to be too time-consuming, inaccurate and difficult to be sustainable in a business environment that is only increasing in complexity and scale. Companies need to embrace a new way of tracking emissions to maximize their incentives and to give regulatory bodies a more accurate view of the real state of global carbon outputs.”

Introducing the New Blockchain-Powered Agricultural Business Network by BlockApps
Developed in collaboration with Bayer Crop Science, the leading technology innovator in the agriculture industry, the BlockApps TraceHarvest platform brings supply chain efficiencies, transparency, compliance and stewardship to agricultural products and sets new standards in sustainability, driving digital transformation, and food system resiliency that will shape the future of the agriculture industry.
Traceability
TraceHarvest is the world’s first blockchain business network to track the entire production lifecycle of agricultural products starting from seeds. The platform provides new solutions around food quality and transparency, tracking your products journey with full visibility.
Stewardship
For products like seeds, TraceHarvest provides a full picture of stewardship as they are sold, exchanged, planted, harvested, and processed. The platform has been built and tested to the highest industry standard for traceability and provides a first and best-in-class solution for the grain industry.
Safety & Sustainability
Through access to improved supply chain information, TraceHarvest enables you to optimize your own operations and leverage the platform for other impactful use cases such as carbon offset crediting to food safety recalls, promoting both sustainability and consumer well-being.
Scalability
TraceHarvest’s global platform is highly scalable, allowing you to add more business processes, use cases, and tech integrations into the very same network. For example, you can collaborate with downstream food producers to extend tracking of agricultural products even further down the value chain and ultimately verify claims made about ingredients and sustainability practices.
Compliance
Current analog processes create significant costs in labor and resources and fail to deliver the data that farmers and other value chain participants need. TraceHarvest increases efficiencies in compliance data collection, providing both faster and stronger overall proof of compliance.
Security
Farmers, manufacturers, distributors, and processors can selectively share and review data within a single, secure platform, making activities available to the entire chain. This streamlined engagement and real-time information exchange allows all parties to identify and address product tracking and integrity issues faster and more securely than previous manual processes allowed.
