Blockchain Technology in Agriculture for Indian Farmers: A Systematic Literature Review, Challenges, and Solutions

Abstract

Blockchain technology swiftly rose to prominence in a wide range of applications within the smart agriculture field. The necessity to construct smart peer-to-peer systems capable of validating, securing, monitoring, and analyzing agricultural data has prompted discussions regarding the development of blockchain-based Internet of Things (IoT) systems in smart agriculture. Blockchain technology plays a critical role in the transformation of traditional means of storing, sorting, and exchanging agricultural data into a more trustworthy, immutable, transparent, and decentralized method of sharing data. Smart farming will benefit from the integration of the IoT and the blockchain, which will take us from having merely smart farms to having an Internet of smart farms as well as provide better control over supply chain networks in general. As a consequence of this combination, smart agriculture will be managed more autonomously and intelligently, resulting in greater efficiency and optimization of operations.
