This project will define an innovative traceability system based on Blockchain and a NIRS sensor system to verify the legality and efficiency of industrial hemp cultivation, for which a model will be developed to calculate emissions and verify the absorbed carbon, as well as an application that will collect crucial data from sensors and other information resources. A Blockchain platform and an app for customers will also be programmed to optimize cultivation and CO2 capture.
The application of this technology will open new market opportunities by certifying the sustainability and quality of hemp products, attracting consumers and companies interested in ecological and sustainable practices.
The project will develop a pilot program focused on seed production and traceability of hemp-derived products, and will also investigate the development of molecular markers to optimize cultivation and potentially play a key role in CO2 capture and fixation. This will provide useful tools for producers, authorities, and supply chain stakeholders.
- The definition of the traceability system will allow farmers to benefit greatly from this system, which will guarantee traceability and regulatory compliance, optimize cultivation, and improve CO2 capture efficiency.
- Implementing these solutions can increase productivity and reduce costs associated with regulatory compliance.
- The application of this technology will also open up new market opportunities by certifying the sustainability and quality of hemp products, attracting consumers and businesses interested in eco-friendly and sustainable practices.
The project seeks to implement innovative solutions for the traceability of industrial hemp, from seed purchase to transportation, ensuring legality and regulatory compliance through blockchain.
The expected results are:
- Define the needs and requirements of the future Blockchain-based traceability system and the NIRS verification sensor and analysis system.
- Create a model for calculating emissions and verifying the carbon absorbed by each specific hemp farm crop. Develop an application for collecting data from sensors, NIRS, and other information resources useful for traceability.
- Program and implement the Blockchain platform and the app for the client.
- Develop and validate aquaporin markers.
- Promote and disseminate the results of the project.
