Gıda Sahteciliğinin Önlenmesinde Yapay Zekâ, Blok Zincir ve Omik Teknolojilerin Rolü

Abstract

Gıda sahteciliği, günümüz tedarik zincirlerinde tüketici güveni ve ekonomik istikrarı tehdit eden önemli bir sorundur. Bu çalışma, gıda tedarik zincirinde şeffaflık ve izlenebilirliğin arttırılmasında yapay zekâ, blok zincir ve omik teknolojilerin rolünü incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Bu kapsamda, ilgili literatür sistematik olarak değerlendirilmiş ve söz konusu teknolojilerin gıda doğrulama, izlenebilirlik ve risk yönetimi süreçlerine katkıları analiz edilmiştir. Elde edilen bulgular, dijital teknolojilerin veri entegrasyonunu güçlendirerek şeffaflığı arttırdığı, gıda sahteciliği risklerini azalttığını ve tedarik zinciri performansını iyileştirdiğini göstermektedir. Ayrıca bu teknolojilerin entegrasyonu ile hasat sonrası kayıpların azaltılması, ürün doğrulama süreçlerinin geliştirilmesi ve tüketici güveninin arttırılması mümkün olmaktadır. Çalışmamızın temel amacı; gıda tedarik zincirinde şeffaflık ve izlenebilirliğin artırılmasında yapay zekâ, blok zincir ve omik teknolojilerin gıda sahteciliğinin önlenmesindeki rolünü ele alan çalışmaları incelemektir

The Role of Artificial Intelligence, Blockchain, and Omics Technologies in Preventing Food Fraud

Abstract

Food fraud is a significant issue in modern supply chains, posing serious threats to consumer trust and economic stability. This study aims to examine the role of artificial intelligence, blockchain and omics technologies in enhancing transparency in food supply chains. In this context, the relevant literatüre was systematically reviewed and the contributions of these Technologies to food authentication, traceability and risk management processes were analyzed. The findings indicate that digital Technologies strengthen data integration, enhance transparency reduce the risk of food fraud and improve supply chain performance. Furthermore, the integration of these Technologies enables the reduction of post-harvest the improvement of product vertification processes and the enhancement of consumer trust. The main objective of this study is to review studies that examine the role of artificial intelligence, blockchain and omics technologies in preventing food fraud and in enhancing transparency and traceability in the food supply chain.
