What subversive changes will blockchain bring to traditional agriculture?

At present, the combination of blockchain technology and agriculture mainly has two directions: commercialization and agricultural insurance.

First of all, commercialization and blockchain: the consumption process is completely transparent.

Manufacturers can use the identification technology of the Internet to record all the information of every commodity they produce in the blockchain, and form the output trajectory of any commodity in the blockchain.

To give a simple example, Yu Pangchen produced 100 kg of rice, so he added an initial record to the blockchain: Yu Pangchen produced 100 kg of rice on a certain day. Then Fat Chen sold this 100 Jin of rice to another fool, Xiao Jiang, and set another record. Fool Xiao Jiang took this 100 catty of rice from fool Xiao Chen. Later, fool Xiao Jiang sold the rice to the big supermarket in the city. Finally, when consumers buy rice in the supermarket, they can trace the whole production and circulation process of rice by simply querying the relevant information on the blockchain, so as to identify the authenticity.

Second, agricultural insurance and blockchain: improve agricultural intelligence.

The combination of blockchain technology and agricultural insurance can not only effectively reduce the occurrence of insurance fraud, but also greatly simplify the handling process of agricultural insurance and improve the intelligence of agricultural insurance claims. For example, once the occurrence of agricultural natural disasters is detected, the blockchain will automatically start the payment process, which not only greatly improves the payment efficiency, but also solves the problem of fraudulent insurance.

As far as China's current agricultural situation is concerned, there are still many problems. For example, from the perspective of agricultural production and management, the current agricultural production and management is still relatively traditional and extensive, and the situation of relying on the weather for food in the past has not fundamentally changed; From the perspective of sustainable development of resources, domestic agriculture produces a lot of resources and energy consumption in the production process, which seriously damages the ecological environment and directly affects the environmental ecological security and people's health. Judging from the degree of informatization, the process of agricultural informatization and modernization in China is still in the primary stage. In the long run, it is necessary to introduce more advanced technology to improve the intelligence level of the industry. Once the blockchain technology is mature enough, it will fundamentally change the status quo of agriculture and greatly promote the industrialization and modernization of agriculture.
