This information is then made available to the consumer by accessing a QR code on the packaging or restaurant menu. The distributed ledger open accounting system can provide a validation of transactions as to the farming inputs purchased and used on the agriculture operations.The new transparent value chain model leverages incentives and rewards to align the demands and concerns of end-consumers with the production operations of the farmer. The Producers Market marketplace app allows for on-boarded and vetted farming groups to profile their operations, connect more directly to the buyers that service consumer markets, and share with consumers via social media.This efficient method of supply chain connectivity enables farmers to achieve a higher price for their outputs by going further up the vertical value chain, with the value of output being determined by the buyer and end-consumer and the determination of quality based upon validated data sets.The current system is exploitative to many farmers who have to rely on ‘spot pricing’. The current spot buying system leads to an incredible waste of outputs. Also, there is uncertainty for producers who put months and years of hard work into creating a product, as to whether there will be a buyer for the output and the price worth of the outputs.The digital technology solutions of Producers Market are designed and engineered to bring about a system of ‘contracts’ in which farmer outputs will have buyer commitments and formalised digital contracts in place prior to harvest.
