Details how the ForestGuard project developed an open-source, blockchain-based software to help companies and smallholder coffee farmers in Peru comply with EUDR by enabling transparent, verifiable supply-chain data exchange. Additionally, the case study focused on the Digital Integration of Agricultural Supply Chains Alliance (DIASCA) explains how partners jointly work on an open digital public infrastructure (DPI) to make agricultural supply chains traceable, inclusive, and sustainable.
These German-led digital initiatives showcase the potential of public-good technology for supply chain transformation. By using open-source tools, they lower the barrier to entry for small actors, foster interoperability, and promote data sharing. But challenges remain, including ensuring data quality, maintaining farmer engagement, and protecting sensitive information, especially when scaling across geographies and commodities.
