RE: Blockchain, Smart Contracts and Your Food
The ever changing ways of the world is through technology though, isn't it? What were once eras where our parents and their parents would only imagine things they heard about, almost all those imaginings became a reality, starting out by the invention of the wheel to now cars and planes. So yeah, this is not impossible. Not everyone can grow their own food, but even now, with the invention of "tower" gardens, we can all have a little piece of homegrown right at home and with a few lifestyle changes and innovation, perhaps we can all become a little more self-sufficient and not rely upon others for our food and thus we will always know where it came and know that it is truly organic.
I am so looking forward to the day when that is a reality. I almost got a tower garden this summer but it was too late in the growing season for it so I decided to wait until spring. In a city I lived in a few years ago they took over an abandoned office building, gutted it and turned the entire 20 stories into a gigantic hydroponic, computer monitored garden tower, complete with fruit trees as well as vegetables. It is incredible how much food they can grow there on trays reaching up the full 20 stories. The computers in each tray control the water and the light and the nutrients furnished by the compost in the exact amount needed far better than a human ever could so growth is absolutely optimal.
If we coupled that sort of gardening with the power of the block chain and smart contracts, we'd never have to wonder about our food sourcing again! When I think of what it could do for struggling countries and their agriculture industry I can see where famine and malnutrition could become words that faded into history.
