From Farm to Pint: How Blockchain Enhances Transparency in Supply Chains

Sustainable Supply Chain

Send me a message

In this episode, I chat with Matthew Van Niekerk, CEO of Settlemint, about how blockchain technology is transforming supply chains. Matthew shares the origin story of Settlemint and explains how their platform makes it easier for companies to integrate blockchain functionalities, even if they lack in-house expertise.
We delve into the specifics of how blockchain can enhance transparency and trust across various industries, with a particular focus on agriculture and food and beverage sectors. Matthew also discusses how blockchain helps meet ESG requirements by improving data reliability and providing independently verifiable information. This is crucial for compliance and building consumer trust.
One of the standout examples Matthew shares is Settlemint's work with AB InBev, which uses blockchain to trace barley from farms to beer bottles, ensuring authenticity and engagement with consumers. Additionally, he highlights a significant project in India that enhances the livelihood of farmers by ensuring the accurate distribution of seeds using blockchain.
Tune in to learn how blockchain can not only streamline supply chain operations but also drive sustainability and social impact.
