Using blockchain technology, ChefChain makes information available about where your food comes from, its nutritional value and CO2 emissions. Chef Damien Taylor took a look at a number of dishes and drinks with Café Soigner, Mosselnet and Fortuna Vlieland, and during ITGWO, he provided insight into the story behind each ingredient. “We made some very valuable contacts this weekend, but we also encountered challenges. In particular, convincing people to scan QR codes proved difficult. They didn’t see the importance of them or associate them with Covid. So we have to think carefully about how to make the QR codes more attractive. Both in terms of appearance and the storytelling behind them. Although I initially had doubts about using our technology at festivals, I found out during conversations with the festival organizers that it is actually essential. After all, food plays a crucial role in their pursuit of carbon neutrality.”
