FEEDBACK
In its most uncomplicated form, blockchain is just a cloud-based ledger that records transactions. Applying blockchain with this new fangled record-keeping to tracking drugs (especially Addictive drugs) from the place of the production to the society or pharmacist/outlet. Each drug they sell is given a QR code that customers can scan to “see the date and location of every transaction—from collection at the drug plant to extraction and packaging, export, logistics and retail.” For this traceability to work, new processes have to be put in place at origin. So government can trace where this drugs are going to and who its going to. when its decentralized like this, there's no middleman in the production, selling the drugs to addicts and sell at high price, with this measure, it would be the pharmaceutical company and the pharmacy outlets/doctors can get access to this, and the government can trace it, and also know the genuinety of the drugs and know who to hold when it goes wrong. making the world a better place, a drug free society
Farming in my locality is the major occupation and in my family farming is our major source of income my parents are hard core farmers and for me farming is not just an occupation it’s has become passionate for me reason I applied to study agricultural science in college and taking this course is an eye opener for me on how farmers in my locality can benefit from this technology. Farming is an essential means of survival for every economy and farmers are the major source of sustenance for every economy my major is we don’t get actual value for our labor. Government and third party bodies has come around to implement policies to help purchase farm products in bulk to encourage farmers but with my exposure the entire process is not transparent and to me its fraudulent. They buy from us at a low rate as third parties and sell at high rates, they sometimes come back to complain of product spoilage and ask for refunds that is a loss to the farmer. Blockchain technology can aid the recording of farm produce value, weight and possibly record lifespan before spoilage from time of harvest and also through smart contracts with a blockchain enabled weigh machine carried out by the details of farm products stored on the blockchain creating an automated payment issuing directly to farmers. This can be carried out through a dapp that also houses a wallet also tied to the entire process to enable direct payment to farmers.
This submission is relevant but exceeds the word count. Yes, agricultural in an important sector that urgently need a transparent record from the onset of the process to the final stage of consuming. The Ideal solution Is blockchain through its transparent and immutable ledger.
