Nebraska Senator Carol Blood has backed a bill to explore the potential for blockchain use in agriculture.
According to the document, they plan to use distributed ledger technology to track the origin of products: from farms to store shelves.
The author of the bill proposes to control production conditions using the blockchain: soil quality, equipment, weather, and other factors. They also want to use the technology for certification of organic food.

As part of the study, officials will consider blockchain as an opportunity for exchanging assets, storing products and equipment.
Nebraska is a predominantly agricultural state with farms and ranches covering more than 90% of the land in 2019, according to government figures.
Recall that in May, HumanVenture, the managing platform for charities, integrated the Free TON blockchain for issuing food cards.
