Description:Field of the Invention
This invention relates to Virtual Food Grain Asset (VFGA) For Sustainable Agriculture and Fair Trading
Background of the Invention
The lack of a VFGA system makes establishing transparency in the food grain supply chain difficult. Tracking the origin, handling, and quality of grains becomes complex, which can lead to information gaps, disagreements, and even fraud. Without a computerized system in place, tracing food grains becomes difficult. It becomes difficult to trace grain transportation, making it harder to discover possible problems such as contamination, adulteration, or diversion.
CA3098365A1 an online agricultural system manages and optimizes interactions of entities within the system to enable the execution of transaction and the transportation of crop products. The online agricultural system accesses historic and environmental data describing factors that may impact crop product transactions and/or transportation to determine market prices for crop products and crop product transportation. Responsive to receiving a request from an entity, the online agricultural system determines an optimal transaction for the entity, such as a price for selling a crop product, an available crop product for purchase, or a transportation opportunity to transport a crop product.
Research Gap: A VFGA system may offer precise and objective assessments of grain quality parameters by combining quality assessment sensors and data analytics. This guarantees that only high-quality grains that fulfil certain requirements are exchanged, hence increasing consumer satisfaction and food safety.
WO2013148290A1 The GPPM transforms producer crop asset information via GPPM components into dynamic, automated, real-time, and/or near real-time inventory updates, comprehensive agricultural portfolio information, offers, sales and/or purchase agreements, and/or dynamic, automated, real-time and/or near real-time market updates and feeds. The GPPM also provides online producer inventory integration with internal and external sources, geo-spatial commodity sensory location and updates, and dynamic, automated, real-time, and/or near real-time market and benchmark analyses. The GPPM receives crop asset storage resource information, such as location data for crop storage resource(s). The received information is associated with a producer crop asset management account. Mobile devices may be associated with the account. The GPPM determines when an associated mobile device is within a specified distance of a storage resource location and notifies the mobile device. The GPPM receives dynamic crop volume data for the crop storage resource and associates it with the producer crop asset management account.
Research Gap: Through data-driven decision making, VFGA systems may promote sustainable agricultural practices by optimizing resource utilization such as water, fertilizers, and electricity. It helps farmers to make educated decisions that reduce environmental impact while increasing output and profitability.

ADVANTAGES OF THE INVENTION
1. Grain quality sensors monitor numerous quality characteristics such as moisture content, protein content, mycotoxin presence, and foreign item identification in an exact and objective manner. This guarantees that only high-quality grains that fulfil specific specifications are exchanged and supplied, hence increasing customer satisfaction and food safety.
2. Sensors allow for the quick and automated examination of grain quality characteristics, minimizing the need for manual testing and inspection. This simplifies the quality evaluation process, reducing time and labor costs and allowing for speedier supply chain decision-making.
3. Sensors deliver consistent and trustworthy readings, reducing human error and subjective judgement. This results in increased uniformity in grain grading, sorting, and pricing, as well as fair trade practices and fewer disagreements or differences in quality evaluation.
4. Continuous monitoring of grain quality characteristics such as moisture content, temperature, and gas composition is made possible by sensors. This early detection of possible problems enables proactive risk mitigation steps such as altering storage conditions, administering treatments, or taking remedial actions to prevent spoiling, insect infestations, or quality deterioration.
5. Unnecessary expenditures can be reduced by precisely analyzing grain quality features with sensors. Precision moisture content measurement, for example, helps optimize drying operations while lowering energy expenditures. Furthermore, early discovery of quality faults might save costly rejections, recalls, or downgrading of grain shipments.
