Agri-Digitalization and Blockchain Audit Trust: A Serverless Framework for Verifying Carbon-Related Financial Risks in Emerging Markets

Abstract

The convergence of agricultural digitalization and decentralized finance presents critical opportunities for mitigating carbon-related financial risks in emerging markets. However, the integrity of environmental, social, and governance reporting is frequently undermined by information asymmetries and inadequate audit trust. This paper introduces a cloud-native architectural framework utilizing Amazon Web Services to construct a real-time, blockchain-verified carbon disclosure pipeline. By deploying distributed Python middleware integrated with serverless computational nodes, the system programmatically extracts agricultural carbon intensity metrics and cross-references them against immutable blockchain ledgers. This methodology structurally eliminates manual reporting friction, providing rural credit institutions and multinational enterprises with deterministic, verifiable environmental data. Preliminary architectural evaluations confirm that integrating high-velocity Application Programming Interfaces with decentralized ledgers significantly reduces information asymmetry, establishing a highly scalable foundation for green finance and rural revitalization.
