Abstract
In agriculture, blockchain enables peer-to-peer transactions with extreme transparency and eliminates the need for a middleman or intermediary. Food attribution may be outlined using blockchain technology, in order to help the making of reliable food supply chains and the establishment of trust between producers and consumers. It encourages the adoption of data-driven technology in agriculture by offering a safe data storage system. In this chapter, we are aiming to discuss food supply chains, farming assurance, E-Agriculture, and farming resource transactions using blockchain technology in a theoretical and practical manner. We also confer the trials of monitoring farmer businesses and building a blockchain ecosystem for the food and agriculture industries. The Internet of Things (IoT), grid specimen, topographical information system (TIS), in-season decision-making, different current data collecting and analysis, and sensor technologies are all features of precision agriculture. The development of a comprehensive security system that supports the usage and administration of data is a critical aspect of constructing smart agriculture.
