Abstract
India has the second most massive agricultural food production in the world. However, due to the shortfall of traditional agriculture food supply chain management (SCM), India suffers significant food loss that affects the economy and limits farmer income. Recently, blockchain has emerged as a potential substitution of traditional food supply chain. Blockchain is a fully digitized technology that ensures end-to-end integrity with complete transparency of data. Due to the advancement of technology, traditional farming integrates with blockchain, Internet of Things (IoT), artificial intelligence (AI), and many other to bring significant innovation in the agricultural and food supply process. The technologies accumulate processes and analyze the information with minimum human intervention and with less error-prone data. This paper carries existing research on agriculture food supply and identified the potential of blockchain to address the issues. The paper proposed a blockchain-based Food-Block framework with technical specifications for future system development using IoT–blockchain integration.
