Description
Blockchain technology is one of the most important developments in various agricultural applications. These uses might be able to meet the various requirements for agricultural goods.In order to better understand the impact of blockchain technology on agriculture and food supply chain management systems, this article will first identify current issues, and then go into how to address them and how blockchain might help. Blockchain technology presents a viable way to support the development of an agri-foods system that is future-proof, superior, sustainable, and dependable. It uses the decentralized architecture to store the information that helps users and customers to have transparency on records. The data is stored in a distributed ledger that is tamperproof and immutable. Based on this, this study also investigates how blockchain technology can be used to safeguard and improve food products, noting that there is still potential for its use in supply chain optimization, traceability, farmer collaboration, and lower production costs.
