Tokenization with Example Applications in Food Supply Chain (TRUST-FOOD)
"Tokenization with Example Applications in Food Supply Chain" is a course developed in the context of the TRUST-FOOD project, a Digital Europe project that designs and delivers short-term training courses for upskilling and reskilling of the labour force, with a particular focus on SMEs owners, managers, and employees in the food supply chain sector.
The course offers a good overview of the main principles behind tokenization, zooming in on the food supply chain sector in particular. It goes through blockchain's benefits and touches upon a variety of real-world applications and use cases to support skills development.
Why this course?
Digital assets and tokens are 2 terms often used in any discussion that touches upon blockchain. These are items of value that only exist digitally: examples include cryptocurrencies, stablecoins, central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), and NFTs.

This course dives into digital assets and tokenization to give a good overview of real-word blockchain applications in the food supply chain sector, including benefits and challenges for non-technical people, including academics and researchers, food supply chain managers and leading professionals, HR professionals and others.
