A SECURE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AGRICULTURE MONITORING SYSTEM

Abstract

Smart applications are becoming more prevalent in agriculture, particularly in rural areas, intending to improve agricultural standards. These applications utilize various ICT-enabled services, such as automated monitoring and data privacy, to gather and exchange data among trusted users through a centralized intermediary. However, a centralized intermediary is susceptible to problems such as data loss, single point of failure, and man-in-the-middle attacks. To address these issues, blockchain-based smart contracts provide a decentralized and secure alternative for automated control in intelligent agriculture. As the world's population grows, the demand for fresh and healthy products is increasing significantly, and the farming and food production industries must dramatically increase their yields in a short amount of time. While there has been much research in the field of smart farming, issues such as storing data on a central server and providing complete product details from beginning to end, have not been fully addressed. This paper proposes a new blockchain-based solution for secure and intelligent monitoring of agricultural lands.
