Adriana Grigorescu, Amalia-Elena Ion · Proceeding Papers · 2021
Global warming has changed our environment and our society at a high speed.Luckily for us, scientists and researchers have worked around the clock on technologies that could ease the effects of the principal sectors of the economy -agriculture and manufacturing.Although, in the last two to three decades, services have been on a continuous evolutionary pattern, and, more or less, have attracted the spotlight, the fundamentalism of the first two sectors of the economy continues to daunt on our society, and, particularly, on the management and technologies behind it.The current paper addresses the necessity of breaking the existing business model in agriculture, and describes the architecture behind a new model that pertains to the innovative data-sharing capabilities of the blockchain for the ultimate purpose of agricultural development and sustainability.The study was designed around a content analysis on previous research, and added on the alignment to the new potential business model for smart agriculture using blockchain technologies.
