AbstractIn agriculture, farmers are the most important entity. For supporting farmers in increasing productivity and efficiency, the government offers subsidies, loans, insurances, and so on. This paper explores the usage of Blockchain technology for securing farmer's data in the Indian scenario. The farmer needs to register through the multiple official registration systems for availing different schemes and information provided by the country. The personnel and crop-based details of each farmer are collected at the time of registration. The filing also helps in providing better services to farmers like connecting farmers and traders to ensure a fair price for quality crops, advice to farmers of agricultural practices and location. In this paper, a blockchain-based farmer's data securing system is proposed to provide data provenance and transparency of the information entered in the system. While registering, the data is collected, and it is verified. A single verified record of farmers accessed by various government agriculture departments were designed using the Hyperledger fabric framework.
