DApp for Exploring Blockchain's Utility for Agricultural Data

In this modern era of Digitalisation, smart agriculture is required which also focuses on sustainable development of the farm (i.e. organic and healthy agriculture) along with the use of current technology. The continuous assessment of a farm becomes necessary for producing better yield. Farms can be accurately monitored with the help of IoT devices to know the conditions of crops regularly, to keep a check on the soil's quality, and to monitor the weather conditions affecting the crops. These IoT (Internet of Things) devices when integrated with blockchain technology can have better storage and the blockchain network can also help create a decentralised network for the farmers. The data input from the IoT devices can be stored over the blockchain. This data is evaluated to understand the effects of different methods implemented on the farm over time on the crop. This data can help us find efficient and sustainable methods of farming that can be practiced preventing the use of chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and insecticides for agriculture as these chemicals have been causing a lot of health issues in the current generation. This paper proposes the use of a DApp over blockchain technology to help farmers analyse their crop status and get hands-on assistance.
