Food Provenance Data Standard

Used crowd sourcing to identify essential information and create a living document around traceability/provenance standards.

20 years experience in IT that includes working on supply chains for Walmart and GM.

CROWDSOURCING - use crowed source to create a food safety standard as meta-data 

DOCUMENT/PUBLISH - document the standard and make it available so others can use it 

GOVERNANCE -  formalize how decisions are with regard to changes and modifications. 

WHO WE ARE

Ferdon is the creator of the no-code platform QModeler for blockchain that abstracts the complexity of blockchain.

We pioneered the concept of No-Code Hackathons - events where citizen developers come together to crowed-source solutions to the pressing problems using no-code platforms.

Received funding in F5 to increase the use of No-Code in Africa (co-proposed with WADA)

WHAT WE ARE DOING IN FOOD SAFETY

• Running No-Code Hackathon in Africa in conjunction with WADA to build a food traceability application on Cardano
• Running No-Code Hackathon in Vietnam to build a food traceability application on Cardano

Citizen Developers are are people with little to no knowledge of programming who build software using No-Code platforms like QModeler. The advent of No-Code has created a sea change in the way software is developed by allowing Citizen Developers to build software and communities to work collaboratively to create software solutions to problems. Citizen Developer is a new term to describe someone who is participating in building software products despite having little or no technical knowledge.The growth of Citizen development is estimated to be 30% per year will overtake programming development in the next 3 years.

No-Code hackathons are long running events, 3-6 month or even longer, that brings people of all backgrounds together together around the task of creating software to solve a problem. We hope to soon use No-Code hackathons to include Plutus smart contracts using QModeler. Follow the progress of no-code hackathons at https://www.cardanonocode.com/

We believe technology should unite and not divide us. We strive to democratize technology by simplifying it so that innovation happens across all strata of society. Our vision will be realized when any sized company, from enterprise to a small business owner, or even a single person with a yen to create, can innovate solutions to their problems. Ferdon - the maker of Qmodeler is it  located in Vietnam. QModeler is a supporter of the Vietnam National Computer Olympic Team where many of our team members competed.

Ferdon is a company of currently 20 people passionate about democratizing technology. Ferdon has been working 3 and a half years to build our flagship product, QModeler, one of the first no-code platforms and the first no-code platform for blockchain. QModeler is capable of synthesizing models into smart contracts.

Ferdon is launching the first of its kind, no-code hackathons, long running events that bring together communities to solve pressing issues using No-Code tools.

Ferdon's active projects include

• In collaboration with WADA we have launched a first of its kind no-code hackathon to develop a solution for food safety traceability in Africa.
• Launching a no-code hackathon in Vietnam to develop a solution to food traceability in Vietnam.

Publishing a living standard for food traceability on Cardano will have the following impact;

• make it easier for others to implement food traceability as they don't have to start from scratch
• promote interoperability among food safety initiatives on Cardano
• provide a governance for no-code solutions launched by our no-code hackathons
• facilitate communication between no-code hackathon teams

1. Progress will be monitored on our site https://www.cardanonocode.com 
2. There will be a live standards document available for everyone to see
3. transcripts or videos of our no-code hackathons will be available to track our progress. 

P R O G R E S S

3 month - will have crowed sourced rough concepts around data standards for food safety

6 month - will have formulated a draft of a data standards document for food safety

12 month - will have released a 1.0 version of a live document defining a standard for food safety on Cardano. 

Key Performance Indicators:

• number of use cases covered by meta-data
• stability of the meta-data standard over time
• adoption of the standard by food safety proposals and active endeavors
