NEW TECHNOLOGY: Tracking your food from field to fork - via your phone

The Soil Association are encouraging the

nation to try organic by allowing shoppers to trace organic food from supplier to shelf with a simple scan from their mobile phone.
Following the supermarket horsemeat scandal and the recent mass egg recall, shoppers continue to question the origin of their food purchases. Food transparency is now an ever-growing trend.
 The nation wants to know where their food comes from and the precise journey it made from field to fork.
 Soil Association Certification, the UK’s largest organic certification body, have partnered with British tech start up Provenance to showcase ’the future of food’.
 Digitally savvy customers can use pioneering interactive software to discover the people, places and certifications behind the organic products they buy.
