Trusted Digital Tracking for Food and Fishing Using Satellite Authentication and Blockchain

foodPilotedTRL 7

Imagine a digital seal of approval that proves exactly where and when a product was harvested without needing a human inspector. It uses special satellite signals that can't be faked and locks that info into a digital ledger that no one can change. It's like a high-tech GPS timestamp that guarantees a product's origin is honest.

The business problem

What needed solving

Companies pay a 'trust tax' by hiring human auditors and notaries to verify that goods were at a specific place at a specific time. Current digital records can be easily faked or altered, making automated trust difficult.

The solution

What was built

A B2B platform and mobile applications that combine Galileo OS-NMA satellite authentication with blockchain to create immutable proof of location and time.

Who can put this to work

Agriculture
mid-size
Target: Organic produce certification body

If you are a certification body dealing with fraudulent origin claims — this project developed a B2B platform that uses Galileo OS-NMA to provide automated proof of location. This removes the need for manual audits to verify where crops were grown.

Fisheries
SME
Target: Sustainable seafood distributor

If you are a distributor dealing with illegal fishing zones — this project developed a trusted data sharing system that records exact catch locations. It ensures the fish was caught in legal waters using authenticated satellite timing and position.

Logistics
enterprise
Target: Cold chain transport provider

If you are a transport provider dealing with disputes over delivery times and locations — this project developed a mobile application integrated with blockchain. This provides an immutable record of the transaction's time and place without third-party intermediaries.
