RFID from Farm to Fork: Traceability along the complete food chain

The project "RFID from Farm to Fork" looks for the extension of RFID technologies along the complete food chain: from the farms where cows, fishes, sheep, grapes, etc. grow; to the final consumer at the supermarkets, including all intermediate stages: transports, factory processes, storage. The paper is intended to show the project objectives and concerns, as well as it highlights the main radio propagation problems detected within a RFID system installed in a food factory. The paper also shows a proposal of using RFID traceability in different study cases.
