Abstract

Globalization trends have caused the food supply chain to lengthen and become more complex than ever. The food supply chain, however, has a few difficulties, including inefficiencies in the supply chain and issues with food safety, quality, trust, and traceability. These elements harm society and the economy while endangering the health of the public. By making it easier for producers and customers to create confidence, blockchain technology aids in the resolution of many of these problems. Offering detailed product information on the blockchain can greatly improve process transparency. Supply chain traceability and security are enhanced by blockchain technology. An intelligent model protocol for many Internet of Things (IoT) sensors that monitor crop development and the agricultural environment is suggested in this paper, and it also offers a transparent, decentralized blockchain tracking solution. All transactions in decentralized supply networks were managed by smart contracts. The usage of blockchain technology enhances the quality of transactions, and clients can use the system to confirm an item’s validity and legality. The proposed ...
