Some claim that in a few years’ time blockchain will no longer be a buzzword; it will be as ubiquitous as the internet. Others believe that blockchain is all hype; that it is an untested technology with huge risks and little upside.

Farmers have always been eager adopters of technologies that make sense and deliver real value. It’s clear that blockchain has big potential to solve significant problems in agriculture. The challenge for blockchain, and agtech at large, is connecting the technology to viable business models and compelling use cases. All the startups mentioned above are working hard to do just this.

Put simply; blockchain needs to save time and money as well as take agriculture forward to create new pockets of value. If we can move beyond the hype and simply do better business, the future of agriculture will indeed be blockchain.

Thoughts?

There are some nice projects in the agricultural field out there such as AgriDigital and Farmshare. Or even real organic eco farms like Bananacoin (which is a project I'm personally involved in). I've even heard talks about AvocadoCoin, PomegranateCoin etc!!

I think this is a thing.
