Control of the claimed geographic origin of plant commodities like food and timberhas become an important task, as the origin of these commodities is relevant withrespect to several issues. We can consider, for example, the implications for foods thatcarry a recognized Geographical Indication/ Protected Designation of Origin (GI/PDO).GI/PDO foods often have significantly higher prices than the same food, growingor produced in non-specific areas (e.g., sparkling wine from Champagne (France) asopposed to sparkling wine from a non-specific area; fruits, vegetables, and spices fromcertain regions, e.g., Saffron La Mancha (Spain), Blue Mountain Coffee (Jamaica), etc.).Another issue related to the geographic origin is food traceability, which refers to theneed of determining the geographical origin of food, and it way “from farm to fork”. Foodtraceability helps to locate the origin of contaminated, adulterated, and/or faked food,when it has been found in markets and needs to be traced back to its (geographic) origin.Food traceability is also important to verify commodities/ products from a given region,which trade/importation have been banned for some issue related to health, pollution,etc., or to fight customs fraught.
