The document provides an overview of blockchain and Hyperledger Composer. It defines blockchain as a growing list of records called blocks, linked using cryptography. A blockchain allows multiple parties to maintain a distributed ledger to track transactions. The document then demonstrates how blockchain can provide traceability for food supply chains to establish trust between participants. It introduces Hyperledger Fabric as a framework for building blockchain applications and Hyperledger Composer as a development tool that allows defining smart contracts using JavaScript. The document concludes with a demo of creating and deploying a sample application using Hyperledger Composer.
