Design and Development of IoT-Based Intelligent Solutions with Blockchain for Indian Farmers on Livestock Management

As the world population is at the edge of passing 8 billion, more dependency on food, water, agriculture, and allied sector products. While providing good livestock products, animal welfare, sustainable environment, public health, and many other issues must be closely monitored. The purpose of this paper is IoT based solution for Indian farmers with some uplifting in existing infrastructure and the use of technology like Blockchain. Biosensors help farmers to receive real-time data from animal health, behavior, food intake, cattle shed or grass yard atmospheric values, etc. Bio-sensor will give a set of values, which is processed and integrated using a big data analytics system. It helps to sort extensive, complex data and generate patterns that ease farmers' decision-making. The sensor-enabled system using Blockchain technology helps to monitor livestock health, track the distribution of agriculture and allied products from farmer to end consumer, monitor and control the supply chain of milk, fruits, vegetables, meat, etc., and prevents economic losses. Using precise livestock farming technologies and management will improve the various sectors in Indian farming like workforce, the production cost of agriculture and livestock products, the welfare of animals, and a sustainable environment. Data security, privacy, and integration were considered before implementing multiple farm-based precise livestock management for Indian farmers.
