Blockchain-Enabled Agricultural Policies and Practices: Transforming Governance, Transparency, and Sustainability in Agri-Food Systems explores the transformative potential of blockchain technology in reshaping modern agricultural governance, supply chain management, and sustainable food systems. The book examines how decentralized digital infrastructures, smart contracts, distributed ledgers, and data-driven technologies can improve transparency, traceability, accountability, and operational efficiency across agri-food ecosystems.
It highlights applications in agricultural subsidy management, crop insurance, food safety certification, decentralized identity systems, secure data sharing, supply chain monitoring, and blockchain-based governance frameworks. Emphasis is placed on integrating blockchain with emerging technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), cloud computing, and predictive analytics to support resilient and inclusive agricultural development. The volume also addresses critical challenges related to cybersecurity, privacy, scalability, interoperability, and regulatory compliance in blockchain-enabled agricultural systems. Designed for researchers, policymakers, academicians, development professionals, and AgriTech innovators, this book serves as a valuable reference for advancing transparent, sustainable, and digitally empowered agri-food systems.
