guys, if this works out, it will be HUGE!!! I am all in!
You can leave without car, computer, etc, but you cant live without FOOD! I cant believe this project is not getting more attention!
Just last week the largest grocery chain in Canada (Sobeys) voluntary pulled out of their shelves all of their Romain Lettuce as some people in Canada got infected with e-coli after eating lettuce. You can image the money lost and the amount of wasted produce.
Health Canada couldnt trace it back, so they warned the population not to buy.
I even see this becoming requirement by all governments in the developed countries!
Thank you for the comment!
We also tweeted about the Canada case. It shows that even developed countries have things to do regarding food traceability.

Since a real farm-to-table traceability what TE-FOOD provides is extremely rare, you are right that it could be required in developed countries as well.
But in developed countries usually there is some kind of traceability, although currently it's almost never farm-to-table. However, in most emerging countries, which give 65% of the world's population, there is no traceability at all. This is one reason we are focusing on emerging countries.
