Abstract

Agriculture relies heavily on the storage and management of Electronic Land Records (ELRs), which are usually maintained in centralized datacenters and shared among farmers, government agencies, and soil experts. However, these traditional storage methods suffer from several limitations, including risks of tampering, unauthorized disclosure of confidential data, and challenges in efficient data retrieval caused by inconsistent formats across institutions. Centralized systems are also vulnerable to fraudulent activities, such as falsification of soil information and land certifications, manipulation to secure unjustified subsidies, and non-compliant export operations. These infractions lead to significant financial losses for governments, distort agricultural funding distribution, undermine the credibility of certification frameworks, and and can result in restrictive trade measures or penalties. To overcome these challenges, this work proposes AgriTrustChain, a blockchain-based platform that enables the secure storage and retrieval of Electronic Land Records (ELRs), including terrain and soil data as well as the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI). This facilitates enhanced interoperability among diverse agricultural institutions. All land-related information is extracted from the blockchain and displayed in real time through an interactive map. Additionally, it provides a reliable mechanism to generate land certificates based on the NDVI for agricultural land suitable for planting olive trees . Our platform leverages IPFS, interactive soil visualization, and NFT-based certification to enable secure, transparent, and efficient agricultural land certification. The evaluation confirms that AgriTrustChain securely protects land and soil information, ensuring zero data leakage in soil data management while providing a reliable solution for modern agricultural data handling.
