The New Fork is on a mission to optimize supply chains, reduce risk, and improve food integrity. To achieve this mission, The New Fork has developed a blockchain-based platform for food integrity

The New Fork is a pioneer in new agri-food technologies, with a mission to optimize supply chains, reduce risk, and improve food integrity.

What we did

We helped The New Fork develop its infrastructure from the ground up, working closely with its team to build new features and grow the community. We love working with The New Fork because we share their ideals. After two years of development, the result is an operational platform used by companies such as the world's largest bottler. The Open Food Chain is now supported by renowned institutions such as the World Food Organization and the Dutch government.

The technology

The Open Food Chain is a highly customizable blockchain solution that enables the tracking of product stories, management of ESG risks, and creation of more efficient supply chains. The Open Food Chain relies on a combination of technologies, including the Komodo stack for the blockchain nodes. With Komodo, launching the custom OFC blockchain and building Bitcoin-based intelligent contracts is relatively easy. In addition, we utilized Ruby on Rails as the back-end solution and React Native for the front-end development.

JuicyChain

One implementation of the Open Food Chain is JuicyChain, which is designed to make the juice supply chain more transparent. Led by the world's largest bottler, all stakeholders from growers to processors, bottlers, brand owners, and retailers - collaborated on this project. For consumers, we developed an easy-to-understand interface through which they can trace the origins of their juice

Current status

The Open Food Chain is currently operational in production and is continuously being developed.
