Advertiser Staff
Results of a Hawai'i food safety project will be discussed during a workshop at an RFID conference next month in Las Vegas.
A case study of the state's produce traceability study funded by the Economic Development Alliance of Hawaii and administered by the Hawaii Farm Bureau Federation will be presented at the RFID World 2008 conference during a workshop titled "Food Traceability: Securing the Food Supply Chain."
RFID stands for Radio Frequency Identification, a system under which small tags can be placed on items to track and log other information.
"Hawai'i's recent and extensive produce traceability pilot project provides invaluable insights into the viability of RFID technology to dramatically improve food supply chain safety, said John Ryan of the Hawai'i Department of Agriculture in a press statement.
