Designing and Building Traceability Systems for Sustainable Agricultural Supply Chains

An Advancing Workflows project to support Farm to Feed in building a traceable supply chain to unlock value for farmers, buyers, and internal teams. Sponsored by The Autodesk Foundation.

Project Outcomes

As FarmtoFeed expands into sustainable value addition and pursues export markets, it faces growing regulatory and compliance pressure to prove the traceability of its products. The organization’s operations relied on manual processes and inconsistent record keeping across its network of suppliers, making it difficult to capture consistent and verifiable traceability data across its supply chain.

This project set out to design an end-to-end digital traceability framework, defining what data needs to be captured at each stage of the supply chain and how existing operational workflows and platforms can evolve to support traceability targets.

FarmtoFeed now has a clear, agreed definition of what traceability requires across its supply chain and a concrete path to achieving it. The design document turns an open-ended compliance obligation into a scoped set of requirements, specifying what data must be captured at each stage and how a warehouse operations application would meet those needs — giving the team a basis for building, sequencing investment, and evidencing traceability to export buyers and regulators.
