I like the idea of having a tracking system for our food supply. I believe that if the farmer is a good responsible farmer then the tracking system could serve him. The farmer wins because he has an opportunity to gain some recognition from consumers; the consumer wins because it gives them an idea of where their food comes from; and the tracking company wins of course because their valuable service will grow quickly.
The only thing left is for Monsanto to label their nasty GMOs. Once that is in place, this could be the perfect system to tell the consumer which farms raise GMOs.
Traceability: Tracking from Farm to Fork
oops...error and so here again a word.. I too agree with you. It is indeed so important to have Truth in labeling of GMOs. If we are to be able to make informed choices labeling is a MUST!!!
ReplyDeleteOohh yes! If they would just label their stuff, this system could give all of us the opportunity to obtain much more information about the food we buy. Until they label their GMOs, however, this system may help us in many other ways. You will just need an Android or Iphone and you could use this system to track where your food comes from.
ReplyDeleteThe people who thought of this are obviously geniuses!
