I think blockchain will really be utilized by this project because people can track where their food is coming from and if it's safe.
Vfarm will also enables ecosystem users to not only have total traceability of the produce on food safety but also drive social impact via informed choices on their purchases.
With all of those being said, I want to ask who would be the ecosystem participants? and with all the necessities needed to implement vertical farming on the blockchain, it ain't automating every activities easier, it just adds up the labor and luxury just to integrate with the technology. How VFarm helps people with the use of blockchain? It's confusing coz a farmer now need to know all about IoT than to just farm on his own.
VFarm has commenced the build on the first farm in the golden triangle of Kuala Lumpur in May 2019, and is expected to yield the first batch of crops by the end of August 2019. The first farm is designed to produce 20 tonnes of crops monthly which will be marketed through contract farming. Contract farming is a mode of procurement over a period of time for specified types of vegetables. It is usually entered with hoteliers / convention centre. Hope this answers your question.
Are you going to post photos/videos for the upcoming harvest?
August is almost over so I think you are about to do the harvesting here.
And are you going to test your technology on this first harvest to assess what things need to be done or what possible problems you might encounter in the implementation phase?
