In the face of escalating global demands for transparency, sustainability, and efficiency within the food supply chain, blockchain technology emerges as a transformative solution. This paper delves into the design and deployment of a blockchain-based infrastructure tailored to enhance traceability, reduce fraud, and streamline operations across the food supply chain. By integrating Ethereum smart contracts, we architect a decentralized framework that ensures the authenticity and provenance of food products, from production to consumption. Our system leverages the immutability and transparency inherent to blockchain technology, coupled with the Internet of Things (IoT) for real-time data acquisition, to establish a trustless environment for all stakeholders. This research not only outlines the system architecture and technical implementation but also addresses potential challenges such as scalability, interoperability, and user adoption. Through empirical analysis and pilot testing, we demonstrate the system's efficacy in improving food safety standards, reducing supply chain costs, and bolstering consumer confidence. Our findings contribute to the ongoing discourse on leveraging blockchain technology for sustainable supply chain management, offering insights and directions for future research and implementation.
