Sustainable Agriculture Production Using Blockchain Technology
Description
Revolutionize the agricultural supply chain with this essential guide, which provides the practical knowledge to leverage blockchain technology for transparency, traceability, and trust, alongside AI for overcoming modern farming challenges.
As technology continues to advance, agriculture has begun to implement digital computing and data-driven innovations. This surge of smart farming has resulted in a variety of improvements, including automated equipment and data collection of soil quality, seed quality, fertilizer, pests, climate, and the supply chain in agriculture. As connectivity and data management continue to revolutionize the farming industry, it is essential for researchers to study these technological advances.
This book offers a unique opportunity to revolutionize the supply chain in the agricultural industry, emphasizing the growing role blockchain technology plays. It explores how blockchain enables transparency, traceability, and trust in the agricultural supply chain, from production to distribution. The book also discusses the ethical and social impact of implementing AI and blockchain in agriculture, addressing data privacy, algorithmic bias, and community empowerment. By exploring the integration of AI and blockchain in agriculture, this book serves as a practical guide to overcoming the modern challenges this industry faces.
