AgriVerify solves the problem of trust and transparency in organic farming by leveraging blockchain technology. Here's how it helps:
- Certification: Farmers can certify their crops as organic, ensuring authenticity.
- Verification: Generates QR codes for easy verification by consumers, enhancing trust.
- Transparency: Provides a decentralized platform that prevents tampering and ensures data integrity.
- Consumer Confidence: Builds consumer confidence in organic products with verifiable proof of origin.
Using AgriVerify, farmers and consumers can engage in a more transparent and trustworthy organic farming ecosystem.
A key challenge in building AgriVerify was dealing with outdated packages and dependencies within the web3 ecosystem. Many libraries and tools had compatibility issues or needed more documentation, which slowed development and added complexity to the process.
How I Overcame It
- Research and Community Support: I dedicated time to researching solutions and actively seeking help from the developer community on forums like Stack Overflow and GitHub Discussions.
- Manual Updates and Fixes: In some instances, I needed to manually update or modify parts of the code to ensure compatibility with the latest versions of libraries and tools.
- Testing and Debugging: Extensive testing and debugging were essential to identify and address issues related to outdated dependencies. This included writing custom scripts and using debugging tools to trace problems.
Through persistence and the developer community's support, I could resolve these challenges and complete the project.
