Smart Agriculture is a combination of AI, Cloud Computing, and IoT that revolutionizes farming efficiency and sustainability. It successfully addresses the developing worldwide request for food production through expanding crops, optimizing inventory management, minimizing food waste, and improving safe consuming of food. Precision agriculture, facility agriculture, and order agriculture form the core components of smart agriculture. Each one of them concentrates on specific areas of farming processes, altogether contributing to enhancing farm productivity and efficiency. However, the integration of blockchain technology further adds an intrinsic value to smart agriculture by delivering food traceability, increasing efficiency to supply chains, ensuring food sustainability, and eliminating the need for intermediaries. With the various merits that blockchain technology provides, the reliable controlling of land and farm and monitoring of livestock assets can be provided, and tracking the entire product lifecycle is ensured, which not only enables producing more food, but also provides sustainability and rises food safety standards. By minimizing fraudulent activities, facilitating data management, enhancing farm and stock management, blockchain technology can be used as a success factor in the agricultural industry. This paper thoroughly explores the numerous applications of blockchain technology in smart agriculture, including product supply chain and storage management, farm, and stock control. It also highlights the potential future applications and directions for the integration of those technologies into the field of agriculture to realize their full potential.
