Digital Transformation and Information Integration of Interaction: Platforms, Blockchain, and Big Data in the Agricultural Sector

Анотація

The article provides a comprehensive study of the theoretical foundations and practical tools for the digital transformation of the agricultural sector within the “Agriculture 4.0” paradigm. It is substantiated that digitalization has evolved from a tool for automating individual operations into a fundamental basis for the industry’s institutional transformation. The study analyzes the mechanisms for implementing coordination platforms (AgriChain, AgroBon, eNAM, Farmigo), which function as integrated ecosystems that significantly minimize transaction costs, eliminate inefficient intermediaries, and ensure direct, transparent market access for producers. The scientific novelty lies in the detailed analysis of blockchain technology and smart contracts as “decentralized trust” mechanisms that provide absolute data immutability and supply chain transparency “from field to fork.” The author highlights how these technologies automate financial settlements through secure escrow services, thereby mitigating commercial risks for small-scale farmers. Attention is paid to Big Data management via the integrated BDA-ARMF framework, which combines real-time data from IoT sensors, satellites, and autonomous weather stations. It has been proven that the synergy of Big Data and artificial intelligence (AI) can increase yield-forecasting accuracy to 97.6%, while simultaneously optimizing resource consumption by 11.5% through precision application. The author summarizes the Ukrainian experience in implementing modular platforms such as AgriChain and identifies the State Agrarian Registry (SAR) as a catalyst for national information integration. Specific recommendations are formulated to harmonize national legislation with European Union regulations, such as the GDPR and the Digital Services Act (DSA). It is concluded that the strategic transition to data-driven predictive management is a decisive factor for food security and Ukraine’s long-term economic leadership in the global agricultural market during the post-war recovery period. Keywords: Agriculture 4.0, digital platforms, blockchain, smart contracts, Big Data, IoT, predictive analytics, AgriChain, food security, BDA-ARMF.
