LocalGreenChain Documentation

A demand-driven, seasonal agriculture platform leveraging blockchain technology to track plant lineage from seed-to-seed while reducing the global footprint of human consumption.

Vision

LocalGreenChain transforms agriculture by enabling:

Demand-Driven Production: Grow what consumers need, when they need it
Seasonal Optimization: Align production with natural growing cycles
Footprint Reduction: Minimize transportation, waste, and resource consumption
Complete Traceability: Track every plant from seed origin to harvest and back to seed

Environmental Impact Reduction

Traditional Supply Chain:
[Seed] → [Farm] → [Processor] → [Distributor] → [Retailer] → [Consumer]
         ↓         ↓              ↓              ↓
       Waste     Transport      Storage        Spoilage
       (30%)     Emissions      Energy         (15%)

LocalGreenChain Model:
[Seed] ← → [Local Grower] ← → [Consumer]
            ↓
     [Vertical Farm]
            ↓
    Demand-Optimized
    Zero-Waste Cycle

Key Metrics We Track

Metric	Traditional	LocalGreenChain Target
Food Miles	1,500+ avg	< 50 miles
Spoilage Rate	30-40%	< 5%
Carbon/lb	2.5 kg CO2	0.3 kg CO2
Water Usage	100%	10% (vertical)
Pesticide Use	Variable	Zero (controlled)

Technology Stack

Runtime: Bun (fast JavaScript runtime)
Frontend: Next.js, React, TypeScript, Tailwind CSS
Blockchain: Custom proof-of-work implementation
