The food industry has a trust problem. Across the world, consumers are wondering where their food comes from and what they can do to protect themselves from the next food safety scandal.

Blockchain—the underlying technology behind bitcoin—is now making its way to the food industry. Since it’s built on a decentralized, tamper-proof network, blockchain might just be the technology answer we need to address accountability in our long and complex food supply chains.

So how does blockchain actually work? Can a startup disrupt how the food industry approaches transparency?

Bits x Bites invites you to our next food tech meetup in Beijing. Come have a beer with blockchain startup OriginTrail and discover the basics of blockchain technology and its potential impact on the food system. You will also meet the Bits x Bites team and learn about the food tech accelerator program—now open to applications for its Harvest 3.

RSVP required.
