The application of IoT in agriculture is not a new concept; however, there is an implicit challenge in tracking the product from its initial stage.
In this case scenario, we propose the adoption of decentralized identity in agriculture as a quality guarantee tool. To this aim, we defined a simple architecture that covers all the lifecycle of the product since its plantation to the final product. All in the information should be persisted in a decentralized infrastructure (e.g. blockchain).
Challenges:
Sensors communications must be secured. We suggest using DIDComm as a transport protocol.
Each sensor must have an identity and be connected to its digital twins.
Governance: product info must be signed by an well-known entity (e.g. FDA, USA or ANVISA, Brazil)
