It wasn't too long ago when agriculture started reaping the benefits of technologies from precision farming, and now, there are many technologies available to help farmers maximize their profits. Now, farmers have many technology options available to get all the information needed for every phase of farming. The world's population is constantly growing and many farmers are leaving their profession, especially in developing countries, and the burden is growing on the remaining farmers that feed the world.
With the emergence of Bitcoin, the world has seen new capabilities of technology in completing safe and secure transactions that are low cost and trustworthy. However, it is important to understand the underlying technology used for Bitcoin and how it is beneficial for the agriculture industry. Until now, everyone has seen a central governing authority where single-party governs all transactions. Blockchain technology is shifting trust on a completely new level because there is no central authority that hack-prone, expensive, and/or time-consuming. On a blockchain, all nodes connected to the blockchain have their own copy, and before making a transaction, a consensus happens between nodes to allow the transaction. Technically, this is a distributed database, and if someone wants to hack the system, then it is extremely complex or, in simpler terms, chances are slim to none.
