Blockchain-Powered Agricultural Traceability Systems: Ensuring Food Transparency And Sustainability In Agroecosystems 5.0
Main Article Content
Abstract
Blockchain-powered traceability emerges as a game-changer for Agroecosystems 5.0, addressing critical challenges of food transparency and sustainability. In a world facing food fraud, opaque supply chains, and environmental degradation, this research investigates the potential of blockchain technology to revolutionize agricultural traceability. Our findings reveal a dramatic improvement in origin verification, increased information transparency, and measurable reductions in environmental impact such as water usage and carbon emissions. By empowering consumers, incentivizing sustainable practices, and fostering a more transparent food system, blockchain paves the way for a future of ethical and responsible food production aligned with the goals of Agroecosystems 5.0. This research not only showcases the transformative potential of blockchain but also outlines key areas for further exploration, paving the path towards a more sustainable and equitable agri-food ecosystem.
