From farm to Danish plate: new member joining Agro Food Park

The US company Farm To Plate has embarked on a new exciting journey by establishing themselves in Denmark to cover the Nordic region and across Europe. During the first week of April, Farm To Plate officially launched their European office in the vibrant Agro Food Park in Aarhus with the presence of the Mayor of Aarhus, Jacob Bundsgaard, among other stakeholders. 

Agro Food Park in Aarhus, Denmark, is a hotspot for Agtech and food innovation with a network of public bodies and private companies which is a perfect fit for Farm To Plate enabling the opportunity to tap into the rich knowledge ecosystem in the area.

Farm To Plate aims to create an ecosystem that ensures visibility, compliance, and innovation within the food supply chain. It is transforming how the food and beverage industry operates.

Farm To Plate’s blockchain solutions empower stakeholders to better manage their food supply chain – with visibility from "farm to plate". The digital platform's five main modules are known as 5Ts: Track, Trace, Trade, Trust, and Tip – spanning the entire food supply chain.
