ABSTRACT

The integration of Blockchain and the Internet of Things (IoT) heralds a significant transformation in agricultural traceability systems, promising to enhance transparency, efficiency, and the safety of food products. This study delves into the confluence of these two technologies, investigating how they can be collectively harnessed to foster a more robust traceability system in the agricultural sector. Through a comprehensive literature review, case study analysis, and primary data collection via surveys and interviews, this research offers a panoramic view of the current state and potential future of "Blockchain + IoT" in agriculture. The findings suggest that while there are formidable challenges in terms of adoption, including technical complexities, standardization, and privacy concerns, the benefits—such as increased consumer trust, reduced fraud, and optimized supply chain operations—present compelling arguments for continued investment and exploration. The study's methodology is anchored in a mixed-methods approach, leveraging both qualitative and quantitative data to offer a nuanced analysis of Blockchain and IoT's impact on agriculture. The implications of this study are significant for stakeholders across the agricultural supply chain, from farmers to regulators, signaling a paradigm shift towards more transparent, secure, and sustainable food production practices.
