Innovative blockchain traceability technology and Stakeholders’ Engagement strAtegy for boosting Sustainable sEafood visibility, social acceptance and consumption in Europe

Project description

A novel blockchain technology for sustainable seafood transparency

Blockchain technologies can improve research methodology and transparency. In today’s seafood traceability tools and services, blockchain technologies enable researchers to collect extensive data, making sustainable seafood practices more transparent to consumers. For the EU-funded Sea2See project, developing a novel end-to-end blockchain model and professional and consumer applications will fill in existing seafood traceability gaps. Trust and social acceptance of sustainably fished and farmed seafood will grow. Sea2See will do this by providing technological solutions that satisfy the need for data collection across the entire seafood value chain. It will target stakeholder and consumer engagement to introduce societal and sectoral strategies for increased creation, communication and awareness.

Objective

Current seafood traceability tools and services have the potential to take advantage of novel blockchain technologies to obtain a wide range of data making sustainable seafood practices more visible to consumers. Sea2See project will fill in existing seafood traceability gaps through development of an innovative end-to-end blockchain model and professional and consumer applications to increase trust and social acceptance of sustainably fished and farmed seafood. The project will provide technological solutions to answer the need of a valuable source of data collected throughout the whole seafood value chain, verified and covering inputs from diverse stakeholders. For that purpose, a specific focus will be put on active commitment of stakeholders and real empowerment of consumers through the implementation of societal and sectoral strategies for co-creation, communication and awareness raising.
