Research and Progress on The Application of Blockchain Technology in Agricultural Product Traceability Systems

In recent years, with the occurrence of a series of major food safety accidents, people's demand for food has changed from "quantity" to "quality". Although a batch of agricultural product traceability system has also been born, but this traditional centralized traceability model cannot ensure the reliability of data. Unfortunately, reduce the credibility of tracing and meet the needs of consumers difficultly. Thus, the society needs a better traceability system to guarantee the entire process of agricultural traceability transparent and credible urgently. As a hot research direction of current network technology, blockchain technology is essentially a decentralized database with characteristics of tamper-proof, openness, transparency and traceability, which brings new ideas to the design of agricultural traceability system. Therefore, this paper aims to discuss the application development of blockchain in agricultural product traceability and the improvement of performance. Finally, it provides new ideas for building agricultural product traceability system.
