Abstract
Agriculture is now a trillion-dollar industry, making significant contributions to the growth of several developing as well as developed countries. The huge rise in the growing demand of food and making it sustainable for people is encouraging the need for smart farming. There is a great potential to transform traditional farming profoundly by integrating Internet of things (IoT), Blockchain, and Geospatial technologies to emerge as Smart Farming. Blockchain based farming provides farmers various instant agricultural data at one secured platform, represents a unique opportunity to bring greater efficiency, sustainable crop production, tackle food scarcity, and adds transparency and traceability to the exchange of data related to farming management. Uses of Blockchain in farming management is not only improving the food traceability but also making farming safer for farmers as well as consumers involved, less uncertain and more profitable to the farmers. This paper describes the use of Blockchain technology in farming to manage the practices in a smarter as well as sustainable way, by presenting the decentralized infrastructure with added immutable geospatial technology and IoT sensors capabilities. Our proposed system architecture will explain how Blockchain technology with GIS & IoT will revolutionize the traditional farming practices. Moreover, Blockchain preserves the stakeholders privacy by enhancing IoT framework with more reliable and secure data. Likewise, geospatial technologies create the greater impact by providing visualization and decision making through analytics by transforming traditional farming into sustainable farming.
