Abstract
Blockchain has been around since 2009, but it isn’t till the last few years that organizations have been looking into using blockchain for other applications than cryptocurrency. One industry that organizations have been researching blockchain is agriculture. Out of different use cases there are been organizations that are prototyping blockchain for food traceability and these prototypes have been successful. Blockchain is a buzzword and before an organization builds a prototype, they should research what blockchain and decide if their use case is a blockchain or database solution, what blockchain platforms are available to use.
