Synopsis

Blockchain and Digital Twin Applications in Smart Agriculture presents scenarios, solutions, applications to optimize crop management, improve resource allocation, and enhance sustainability in modern farming practices. It examines how blockchain and digital twin technology could enable farmers and stakeholders to create virtual, data-driven replicas of their agricultural operations while leveraging the security and transparency of blockchain technology. Highlights of the book include:

• An immutable blockchain ledger for storing and sharing agricultural data securely
• Decentralized data management to share data among such stakeholders as farmers, suppliers, distributors, and consumers
• Supply chain transparency to ensure product authenticity, reduce food fraud, and protect consumers
• Solutions to improve the allocation of such resources as water, fertilizer, and labor to reduce costs and improve productivity.

The book helps researchers and academics develop solutions that can transition the agricultural industry into a more data-driven, sustainable, and transparent future. It explains how creating digital twins of agricultural operations and securing data through blockchain can enhance the ability to make informed decisions, reduce waste, and ensure that agriculture practices are more efficient and environmentally responsible. Featuring practical applications and case studies, the book provides a roadmap to farming that is smart, data-driven, and more.
