    Abstract : Phosphorus is an essential yet irreplaceable macronutrient for agriculture and thus plays a key role in global food security. Most of the phosphate fertilizers are produced from phosphate rock, a finite mineral resource that is mined and processed at great environmental and social costs. READ MORE

  7. 5. Contribution to development of a secured traceability system for textile and clothing supply chain

    Author : Tarun Kumar Agrawal; A. Blanton Godfrey; Högskolan i Borås; []
    Keywords : Traceability; Textile and clothing; Supply chain; Secured tag; Blockchain; Textil och mode generell ; Textiles and Fashion General ;

    Abstract : Secured traceability implies not only the ability to identify, capture, and share required information on product transformation throughout the supply chain (SC), but also the ability to ensure the security of the traceability data. Due to information asymmetry and lack of transparency, textile and clothing (T&C) industries often face challenges in implementing and maintaining sufficient traceability. READ MORE
