Actor viewpoints

From TraceFood

Introduction

Actor viewpoints will provide information and viewpoints related to different roles with respect to traceability. Many actors are involved either as information providers or consumers in different parts of a supply chain from "farm/sea to fork" with respect to traceability. The different views may be used to help find information that are relevant to the specific actor viewpoint. Since actors may play different roles with respect to traceability, this page will try to provide insights, issues and information that can be used to define rights, responsibilities, possibilities, prerequisites, etc. with respect to each view. Even within each of the different viewpoints, there may be different approaches defined by which stakes that each actor have with respect to traceability.
