Food Hazines and Tracking System for Farmers using Blockchain Technologies

Abstract

It is quite challenging to monitor goods quality or security issues due to the intricacy of a tracking system, particularly for the fundamental farming food supply chains that contribute to making up everyday feeds of individuals. There are a number of significant issues with the current agricultural food tracking systems, including a large number of subjects, challenging interactions brought on by lengthy logistics phases, and user and centrally managed distrust of data. The traceability issue in agricultural food tracking systems is successfully resolved by the development of blockchain technology. In order to reduce the requirement for central organizations and departments and enhance the dependability, safety, and authenticity of records of transactions, this work suggests a structure based on smart contracts and consortiums to monitor and document the process of agricultural food tracking system, implement transparency and accessibility, and dismantle data centers between businesses. Farmers simultaneously store file hashes in smart contracts and record environmental and agricultural development information in the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS), which improves the safety of information and mitigates the issue of blockchain storage overflow. The proposed system demonstrated superior performance with reduced delay in response (0.035) and increased transmission speed (265), reception speed (305) and processing power (17.65) compared to Ethereum and Hyperledger Fabric.
