The Implementation of Blockchain in Agriculture

By CIO Applications| Friday, May 24, 2019

FREMONT, CA – Over the last few years, many problems have plagued the agriculture industry, including food shortage, food safety, climate change, unstable weather, and many other factors. In this situation, blockchain technology has emerged as a solution for optimizing the agricultural approaches and ushering transparency and food integrity into the farming industry.

The implementation of smart contracts has paved the way for insurance agencies in streamlining their claim settlement process. Blockchain technology has accelerated the supply chain process, allowing prompt removal of hazardous items. It has reduced human error and eliminated excessive losses and downtime. Also, it has the potential to alleviate food-safety issues.

Blockchain is a system of chain networks composed of node computers. It can record information regarding each transaction, enabling transparency in the buying and selling process. Hence, it can ensure a smooth and secure trade process. The integration of blockchain in agricultural supply chain processes can enhance transaction, financing, and data monitoring. The documentation of the shipping and monitoring process via distinct and decentralized blockchain ledgers will enable active tracking of machines, equipment, crop, and livestock.

The blockchain technology plays a vital role in the supply chain, especially in monitoring food sources and raw materials. It facilitates a reduction in transaction costs and inventory costs through efficient machine and crop monitoring process.

Many agricultural cooperatives are encouraging farmers to adopt sustainable practices. Blockchain provides a secure source containing farm data, inventory, and contracts. Hence, farmers can maintain the quality of their product and manage the secure exchange of assets. The decentralized nature of blockchain makes it ideal for inventory management.

The effective utilization of blockchain in agriculture can streamline the financing of agricultural products and promote healthy competition in the sector. It will also simplify the process of selling goods by eliminating intermediaries. Since the information stored in the blockchain cannot be manipulated, it facilitates transparency in production and processing.

Blockchain is a nascent concept in agriculture, but early adopters are sure to experience the benefits. However, many farmers might find it challenging to change their approach and incorporate blockchain. Also, issues of network connectivity, old technology, knowledge gaps, and other obstacles might hinder the implementation of blockchain, necessitating further research and innovation in this field.
