with you that’s been gaining some

with you that’s been gaining some momentum over the last couple of months

for the past several years there have

for the past several years there have been a group of us that had been working

been a group of us that had been working

been a group of us that had been working alongside some of the biggest food and

alongside some of the biggest food and

alongside some of the biggest food and technology companies in the world along

been successful in building and testing these devices in the real world but in

these devices in the real world but in

these devices in the real world but in doing so we uncovered something very

doing so we uncovered something very

doing so we uncovered something very troubling we found that we were actually

troubling we found that we were actually

troubling we found that we were actually contributing to and even compounding the

contributing to and even compounding the

contributing to and even compounding the problem that we actually set out to

fully and equally understand our food together so the last couple of months we

together so the last couple of months we

together so the last couple of months we tried something that we’ve been working

tried something that we’ve been working

tried something that we’ve been working on for a while apple season dis wrapped

on for a while apple season dis wrapped

on for a while apple season dis wrapped up in the US and so we’ve been traveling

up in the US and so we’ve been traveling

up in the US and so we’ve been traveling around the country visiting apple

around the country visiting apple

around the country visiting apple orchards everywhere and picking the top

orchards everywhere and picking the top

orchards everywhere and picking the top varieties of apples and sending these

varieties of apples and sending these

varieties of apples and sending these samples back to our lab here in Boston

samples back to our lab here in Boston

samples back to our lab here in Boston within 24 hours and when the apples get

within 24 hours and when the apples get

within 24 hours and when the apples get back to the lab we’ve been creating what

back to the lab we’ve been creating what

back to the lab we’ve been creating what we call a digital food fingerprint these

we call a digital food fingerprint these

we call a digital food fingerprint these fingerprints are built solely off of the

fingerprints are built solely off of the

fingerprints are built solely off of the information we get from the Apple not a

information we get from the Apple not a

information we get from the Apple not a label not literature just the apple and

label not literature just the apple and

label not literature just the apple and you think about these fingerprints in

you think about these fingerprints in

you think about these fingerprints in the sense that they are essentially

the sense that they are essentially

the sense that they are essentially these comprehensive profiles if you will

these comprehensive profiles if you will

these comprehensive profiles if you will of a particular type of food now each

of a particular type of food now each

of a particular type of food now each food type in each food individual food

food type in each food individual food

food type in each food individual food has a unique characteristics so a

has a unique characteristics so a

has a unique characteristics so a McIntosh Apple that comes from Riverview

McIntosh Apple that comes from Riverview

McIntosh Apple that comes from Riverview farm in New Hampshire has its own

farm in New Hampshire has its own

farm in New Hampshire has its own fingerprint or profile and when you

fingerprint or profile and when you

fingerprint or profile and when you combine that Apple or that fingerprint

combine that Apple or that fingerprint

combine that Apple or that fingerprint with other McIntosh apples you start to

with other McIntosh apples you start to

with other McIntosh apples you start to create the profile for that variety of

create the profile for that variety of

create the profile for that variety of apples and when you combine that with

apples and when you combine that with

apples and when you combine that with Red Delicious apples from Washington or

Red Delicious apples from Washington or

Red Delicious apples from Washington or Fuji apples from New York well then you

Fuji apples from New York well then you

Fuji apples from New York well then you start to develop the unique and the

start to develop the unique and the

start to develop the unique and the common or shared chemistry of apples in

common or shared chemistry of apples in

common or shared chemistry of apples in general and then eventually fruit and so

general and then eventually fruit and so

general and then eventually fruit and so on and so on

on and so on

on and so on so once we’ve established these

so once we’ve established these

so once we’ve established these fingerprints had a very very high

fingerprints had a very very high

fingerprints had a very very high resolution in the lab we then went out

resolution in the lab we then went out

resolution in the lab we then went out and we purchased the same varieties of

and we purchased the same varieties of

and we purchased the same varieties of apples at regional stores and online

apples at regional stores and online

apples at regional stores and online retailers and we brought them in and we

retailers and we brought them in and we

retailers and we brought them in and we scanned these with an off-the-shelf

scanned these with an off-the-shelf

scanned these with an off-the-shelf device a simple scanner you can get

device a simple scanner you can get

device a simple scanner you can get anywhere and we collected just a few

anywhere and we collected just a few

anywhere and we collected just a few data points with this scanner and we’re

data points with this scanner and we’re

data points with this scanner and we’re able to compare that information with

able to compare that information with

able to compare that information with this high resolution lab fidelity

this high resolution lab fidelity

this high resolution lab fidelity fingerprint that we had just created and

fingerprint that we had just created and

fingerprint that we had just created and what we discovered is what we hope we

what we discovered is what we hope we

what we discovered is what we hope we would see that the apples were talking

would see that the apples were talking

would see that the apples were talking to us

to us

to us the apples we could see a very distinct

the apples we could see a very distinct

the apples we could see a very distinct and unique characteristic within the

and unique characteristic within the

and unique characteristic within the apples that we bought at the store

apples that we bought at the store

apples that we bought at the store versus what we had picked fresh in the

versus what we had picked fresh in the

versus what we had picked fresh in the orchards so we could see things like

orchards so we could see things like

orchards so we could see things like unique freshness characteristics in

unique freshness characteristics in

unique freshness characteristics in terms of quality and nutrition based on

terms of quality and nutrition based on

terms of quality and nutrition based on where the Apple was from the climate in

where the Apple was from the climate in

where the Apple was from the climate in which it grew down to the individual

which it grew down to the individual

which it grew down to the individual farm how it was shipped how it was

farm how it was shipped how it was

farm how it was shipped how it was stored how old this Apple was difference

stored how old this Apple was difference

stored how old this Apple was difference in retailer apples from retailer a to

in retailer apples from retailer a to

in retailer apples from retailer a to retailer B difference in conventional

retailer B difference in conventional

retailer B difference in conventional and organic apples so this was exciting

and organic apples so this was exciting

and organic apples so this was exciting for us because there was something that

for us because there was something that

for us because there was something that we hoped we could do but we weren’t

we hoped we could do but we weren’t

we hoped we could do but we weren’t really sure so we were highly encouraged

really sure so we were highly encouraged

really sure so we were highly encouraged by this information because now a single

by this information because now a single

by this information because now a single piece of food in this case an apple

piece of food in this case an apple

piece of food in this case an apple could tell us exactly what’s happening

could tell us exactly what’s happening

could tell us exactly what’s happening to it in the lifecycle of this item

to it in the lifecycle of this item

to it in the lifecycle of this item simply by comparing how something starts

simply by comparing how something starts

simply by comparing how something starts its journey through the food system and

its journey through the food system and

its journey through the food system and how it looks at any particular moment

how it looks at any particular moment

how it looks at any particular moment within that food system equally exciting

within that food system equally exciting

within that food system equally exciting was the fact that we could take this

was the fact that we could take this

was the fact that we could take this information that the Apple was giving us

information that the Apple was giving us

information that the Apple was giving us and we could translate it in a way that

and we could translate it in a way that

and we could translate it in a way that would integrate with an existing

would integrate with an existing

would integrate with an existing technology and giving it an answer in a

technology and giving it an answer in a

technology and giving it an answer in a matter of just a few seconds and with

matter of just a few seconds and with

matter of just a few seconds and with the user having no special skills so

the user having no special skills so

the user having no special skills so think about food as its own label no BS

think about food as its own label no BS

think about food as its own label no BS in a real time situation something could

in a real time situation something could

in a real time situation something could tell you what it is where it’s from

tell you what it is where it’s from

tell you what it is where it’s from whether or not it’s fresh and what the

whether or not it’s fresh and what the

whether or not it’s fresh and what the nutritional value of it is so think

nutritional value of it is so think

nutritional value of it is so think about that in combination with something

about that in combination with something

about that in combination with something like the blockchain if you know exactly

like the blockchain if you know exactly

like the blockchain if you know exactly how something started its life then

how something started its life then

how something started its life then blockchain all the sudden makes sense

blockchain all the sudden makes sense

blockchain all the sudden makes sense with food because now if I know how it

with food because now if I know how it

with food because now if I know how it starts I can track it throughout every

starts I can track it throughout every

starts I can track it throughout every transaction until it gets to a consumer

transaction until it gets to a consumer

transaction until it gets to a consumer and then once it gets there not only can

and then once it gets there not only can

and then once it gets there not only can I confirm of all the different steps

I confirm of all the different steps

I confirm of all the different steps that’s gone through that

that’s gone through that

that’s gone through that also can confirm that it’s actually

also can confirm that it’s actually

also can confirm that it’s actually worth going through all that that there

worth going through all that that there

worth going through all that that there is some nutrition left and there’s some

is some nutrition left and there’s some

is some nutrition left and there’s some value left in that food

value left in that food

value left in that food so think about combating food fraud when

so think about combating food fraud when

so think about combating food fraud when it comes to wine or milk or fish or meat

it comes to wine or milk or fish or meat

it comes to wine or milk or fish or meat or olive oil or what about combining it

or olive oil or what about combining it

or olive oil or what about combining it with environmental sensors in the supply

with environmental sensors in the supply

with environmental sensors in the supply chain if I know how food starts and I

chain if I know how food starts and I

chain if I know how food starts and I can see it degrading over time I can go

can see it degrading over time I can go

can see it degrading over time I can go specifically into a point in the supply

specifically into a point in the supply

specifically into a point in the supply chain and say I have a problem here it’s

chain and say I have a problem here it’s

chain and say I have a problem here it’s degrading faster than it should and I

degrading faster than it should and I

degrading faster than it should and I can solve that problem and that could go

can solve that problem and that could go

can solve that problem and that could go a long ways towards reducing waste or

a long ways towards reducing waste or

a long ways towards reducing waste or getting fresher food to people faster

getting fresher food to people faster

getting fresher food to people faster and then finally what about
