Vision

Empower consumers to make conscious buying decisions

 

Problem statement

According to Dutch Research (WUR/VU/UU) 80% of supermarkets promote unhealthy food products and according to Deloitte 96% of EU consumers do not trust their supermarkets. We are sure that blockchain will be introduced in many food chains, from potato till chocolate. In this track we focus not on the chain, but on the consumer. How can the blockchain system help the consumer while collecting his groceries?

Ambition

By 2025, consumers are empowered and able to make conscious and informed buying decisions about food at their virtual and or physical supermarkets, and are able to contribute, influence and impact product offering in supermarkets through blockchain technology.

Validated idea

Supermarket of the future

We will start with an active coalition of relevant actors (i.e. adequate representation) which is able to showcase at various key stages along the value chain what is possible to meet specific standards whilst being cost-effective in response to the different market values.
