I don't disagree with most that's been said. But two counterpoints:
One, ask why people don't like the food system, and how much of that is due to the old system. Have them look at the new one before they decide they don't like it.
Two, what do you even need the information for? Minimize rot? Please. How exactly do you plan to do that? You can't move the food around with ox carts anymore. If you intend to put it on the market, consider this first: I've not yet finished coding rot in the market and in transfer, and it will very likely be the same as storing it.
