Smart Contract System of the Food Supply Chain Through Blockchain-Based Interplanetary File System
Keywords:
blockchain, Interplanetary, farmers, processor, distributor, vendor, users.Abstract
Agricultural food products form the central segment of human life as they govern all human body aspects. Many complexities prevail in the supply chain, making it difficult to understand and track it. The existing food supply chain tracking systems have a few drawbacks, such as the increased number of participants, improper communication between the participants, a centralized network, and so on. The proposed system overcomes these drawbacks. The point-to-point issue can be better resolved by using blockchain technology. The proposed work implements an innovative contract system is implemented, breaking information into smaller segments between the enterprises. This avoids needing a centralized system and is much more reliable and secure. The details of the farmers are recorded using the Interplanetary file system. The interplanetary file system helps to provide better throughput than the other systems available. It is capable of the secure transfer of information without having any central organization. Despite having a low query efficiency, the use of a single blockchain can see the entire data due to the topology of the entire system. To overcome this drawback, the proposed system uses the encrypted storage system for private data and hash function-based storage data for public data. The primary supply chain components are the agriculturalist, processor, distributor, vendor, and user. The functioning of each of these components has been pointed out in the proposed work. Algorithms have been put forth for the transfer of crops from the farmers to the processor, the transfer of crops from the distributors to the retailers, and the transfer of crops from the vendors to the users.
