Abstract: A system and apparatus for measuring, monitoring, and/or controlling environmental attributes of various goods, particularly as the goods move along the supply chain from an originator to the ultimate consumer. One or more databases of historic environmental data may be created, integrated and compared—which may also include information defining the various geographic locations where the goods were stored along the journey from “farm to table”. The databases of historical environmental data may be supplemented and integrated with other sources of information to assist in better product usage and less waste. In one form, the system is passive and consists of collecting the information; in another, the system is active and is capable of adjusting various environmental parameters. Various devices are also described that may be used by consumers or commercial entities.
