ABSTRACT There are a lot of bottleneck in traversing the food origin. The buyer is always not sure about what is used in this product. Food safety is becoming more and more serious problem around the world. To tackle this from the technical point of view people need to ensure food traceability that can track and monitor the whole lifespan of the food production including the processing of food, raw material cultivation, breeding, processing, transportation, warehouse and selling. Block chain adaptation in agriculture is tailored to solve numerous problems. Majority of the current solution lies on heavily centralised cloud infrastructure where there is usually lack of transparency and security threats including availability of data lock in, confidentiality and availability. The main aim of this research is to highlight the issues that can be solved by blockchain and precision agriculture. Block chain is nothing but a distributed ledger technology allowing members to record transactions in a decentralised data log in computer networks. The transactions are to be approved through authorised partners and every operation gets secured through cryptography. The applications are mostly applicable in agriculture, which is already stressed up with numerous challenges, with rising consumer consciousness towards food safety. The vision of prime minister is to increase double the income of farmer by 2022 can only be realised through block chain only. Top Keywords: Blockchain, IoT device, Smart agriculture, Supply chain.
