03 May 2021 --- Brazilian meatpacking heavyweight JBS has launched a blockchain-powered platform to support its direct suppliers looking to boost the traceability of sustainable beef cattle breeding in the Amazon Biome. The solution monitors beef supply chains in this critical region for deforestation, labor violations and the invasion of indigenous lands. Developed by Brazilian blockchain start-up Ecotrace, Transparent Livestock Farming Platform is an open source platform, meaning that other companies within the industry are invited to use the system. Beef producers can voluntarily sign up to the platform to keep a register of their suppliers of animals.
