Blockchain in Agriculture

Did you know that the total number of deaths in the world is due to hunger? This is not at all because of the food shortage. Of course, the food shortage increases along with the increase in the population. We also waste a significant amount of food on a daily basis. Food is wasted for a number of reasons and many factors affect it. One of the reasons is that food is only spoiled because of the inefficient food supply chain.

The food supply chain is inefficient with current technology, and most of the work is still done manually. With numerous middlemen running the supply chain, food producers are struggling to get fair prices for their food. Consumers are unsure about the whereabouts of the food they buy. They are not sure if what they eat is organic. A sticker on the food product does not ensure that it is actually organic food. Those who enjoy the profit are middlemen.

 

Food fraud is very common and often undetectable. Consumers are very concerned about this because they affect health. And they have no way of checking the quality of the food they buy. For this reason, the scammers make a lot of money by exploiting innocent consumers.

These issues must be resolved with the highest priority because there are no compromises when it comes to health.

The solution:

Food waste can be eliminated and avoided by making the food supply chain efficient. This can be a solution in many ways. The farmer benefits by getting the fair price for his products by eliminating middlemen, hunger can be satisfied and food fraud can be eliminated.

How is it possible?

Blockchain offers transparency; 

it shows what is happening in the blocks so that everyone in the block can see where the product comes from; 

and whether it's organic by using smart IoT devices in the farm that recognize the use of pesticides and chemical fertilizers.

 By eliminating the middlemen, farmers can effectively send their agricultural products directly to the grocer or consumer, making profits.

 In the case of food fraud, no one can fool blockchain technology because of its decentralized nature. Since the blockchain network is distributed across the networks, the data in the network cannot be manipulated. In this way, integrity can be preserved and food fraud can be eliminated.

There are many other problems in agriculture and farming, blockchain has solutions to most problems. Identify it, build a blockchain in agriculture, and transform your business with agriculture and human health.
