“…Everyone is concerned about the nutritional value of the meal they are about to consume. The food supply chain is prevalent, with tedious processes prone to human errors [1]. A blockchain-based supply chain can offer visibility into the movement of commodities by making all transaction records accessible to all network nodes.…”

Many blockchain initiatives significantly use the InterPlanetary File System (IPFS) to store user data off-chain. The centralized administration, ambiguous data, unreliable data, and ease of creating information islands are all issues with traditional traceability systems. This study develops a monitoring system using blockchain technology to record and inquire about product information in the supply network of Non-Perishable (NP) agro goods to address the above issues. The transparency and trustworthiness of traceability data were considerably improved by employing blockchain technology's distributed, tamper-proof, and traceable properties. To alleviate the strain on the blockchain and enable efficient information inquiry, a storage structure is built in which both public and private data are stored in the blockchain and the Inter Planetary File System (IPFS) using cryptography. Because of its ability to trace the origin of food, blockchain technology contributes to the development of reliable food supply chains and the establishment of rapport between farmers and their customers. Since it provides a secure location for data to be kept, it can pave the way for implementing data-driven farming techniques. In addition to improving data security, recording farm data in IPFS and storing encrypted file IPFS hashes in smart contracts solves the issue of blockchain storage explosion. And when used in tandem with smart contracts, it enables instantaneous outflows between parties in response to changes in data stored in the blockchain. The paper also offers simulations of the implementation and analysis of the performance. The findings validate that our system improves security for sensitive information, safeguards supply chain data, and meets the needs of real-world applications. Furthermore, it boosts throughput efficiency while reducing latency.

“…Beyond what could be supported by hunting and gathering, the human population was able to increase significantly due to agriculture. Agriculture is essential to a country's economy [1]. Scientists and farmers are researching genome editing, blockchain technology, artificial intelligence, and other methods to increase agricultural yields, use less water, and lessen environmental impact.…”

Due to an increase in agricultural mislabeling and careless handling of non-perishable foods in recent years, consumers have been calling for the food sector to be more transparent. Due to information dispersion between divisions and the propensity to record inaccurate data, current traceability solutions typically fail to provide reliable farm-to-fork histories of products. The three most enticing characteristics of blockchain technology are openness, integrity, and traceability, which make it a potentially crucial tool for guaranteeing the integrity and correctness of data. In this paper, we suggest a permissioned blockchain system run by organizations, such as regulatory bodies, to promote the origin-tracking of shelf-stable agricultural products. We propose a four-tiered architecture, parallel side chains, Zero-Knowledge Proofs (ZKPs), and Interplanetary File Systems (IPFS). These ensure that information about where an item came from is shared, those commercial competitors cannot get to it, those big storage problems are handled, and the system can be scaled to handle many transactions at once. The solution maintains the confidentiality of all transaction flows when provenance data is queried utilizing smart contracts and a consumer-grade reliance rate. Extensive simulation testing using Ethereum Rinkeby and Polygon demonstrates reduced execution time, latency, and throughput overheads.

Blockchains typically employ IPFS for off-chain storage of user information. Centralized management, muddled data, inaccurate data, and the simplicity of building information enclaves plague traditional traceability systems. In this research, blockchain technology is used to record and access data on Non-Perishable (NP) agricultural commodities in the distribution chain to solve the challenges above. The blockchain and IPFS both store public and private data encrypted. This lessens the burden on the blockchain and enhances information search. Blockchain technology enhances farmer-customer relationships and food supply chains by tracking food back to its source. Its secure data storage enables datadriven farming. By storing encrypted files IPFS hashes in smart contracts, IPFS secures agricultural data and addresses the blockchain storage problem. Being deployed in association with connects makes it possible for rapid financial transactions to occur with any changes made to the blockchain's data. This article analyses performance and simulates implementation in Ethereum testnets. The results show that our system protects sensitive data, supply chain data, and real-world applications by increasing the throughput and latency.
