Research on the Application of Blockchain Technology in the Field of Agricultural Product Traceability

Abstract

Nowadays, the safety of agricultural products has become an important issue that needs to be solved urgently. Traditional agricultural traceability systems face multiple challenges, including data storage risks, incomplete traceability processes, difficult information traceability, deficiencies in regulatory systems, and lack of consumer oversight. These issues constrain the transparency and credibility of agricultural markets. However, the decentralization and tamper-proof nature of blockchain technology provides an ideal solution for the traceability system of agricultural products, effectively solving the problem of information authenticity and security. This paper discusses the limitations of the traditional agricultural product traceability system, and constructs an agricultural product traceability model and system architecture based on blockchain technology. This paper summarizes the latest research on blockchain technology in the field of agri-food traceability, and analyzes its application progress in five aspects: combining edge computing and cloud technology, enhancing encryption technology, optimizing storage schemes, improving consensus algorithms, and improving smart contract design. By integrating and refining existing research results, it aims to help researchers quickly grasp the essence and latest trends in the field of agricultural product traceability. In addition, it is clearly pointed out that there are still serious challenges in the fields of security, storage and regulation, which opens up a new path and entry point for follow-up research. At the same time, this paper constructs a solid theoretical framework, which provides strong theoretical support and reference for research in related fields.
