Abstract
This paper proposes a blockchain and Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO)-centered solution to improve the economic resilience and market integration of smallholder farmers, who manage around 475 million farming operations globally. Utulizing blockchain technology can reduce issues like intermediary exploitation and certification barriers, facilitating direct market access and fair profit distribution. The design incorporates smart contracts to streamline certifications and a DAO model for transparent resource and transaction management. This practical approach, aligning blockchain with urban agricultural development, aims to further sustainable food hubs and empower farmers with improved market access and sustainable practices.
