Blockchain Based Farm-to-Fork Supply Chain Tracking

Current systems for tracking agricultural products from their origination to consumption rely on manual handling by separate actors involved in the enterprise infrastructures. This makes any kind of tracing of concerns back to their sources very cumbersome and challenging. It also raises concerns for potential security risks such as data integrity and accountability. In this work, we propose the use of blockchain to reliably process agricultural data in a decentralized manner and use IoT devices for automated data capture and tracking. Our blockchain based approach offers a manageable semi-automated solution to track and trace agricultural products to ensure integrity and accountability of all stakeholders involved.
