Chain Business Insights New eBook on Blockchain in Smallholder Farming Investigates How Blockchain Technology Could Help Alleviate Poverty and World Hunger

Chain Business Insights, an independent research firm focused on the application of blockchain in supply chain management and trade finance, has published a new eBook titled Blockchain in Smallholder Farming: Sowing the Seeds of Growth. According to theresearch, blockchain combined with agricultural technologies such as precision farming could help improve productivity significantly, lift millions of smallholder farmers out of poverty and bolster the world's food supply.

Population growth, climate change and geopolitical unrest are putting pressure on food production – a significant amount of which comes from small farms, especially in developing countries. At the same time, smallholder farmers are challenged by rampant corruption in the supply chain, and do not have access to adequate finance and insurance and hence the resources needed to improve yields. Blockchain could support new business models that help smallholders to overcome these barriers, adapt to changing climate and the resultant shift in production patterns, improve efficiency and gain access to world agricultural markets.

"Blockchain could help to improve trust and transparency in the supply chain, and give smallholder farmers access to critical market data,"explains Ken Cottrill, Co-founder and Research Principal at Chain Business Insights. "In addition, it could enable them to grow crops that are in high demand such as organic and gluten-free foods, and improve the environmental sustainability of their operations."

Driven by the substantial global business opportunity, several vendors are targeting blockchain-based innovations in smallholder farming. Blockchain in Smallholder Farming: Sowing the Seeds of Growthcontains case studies about the use of the technology in growing cocoa beans in New Guinea and Indonesia as well as cotton in Haiti. The eBook references potential use cases including coffee and wheat produced in Kenya, and rice produced in Viet Nam. It also includes profiles of companies that are already engaged in proof of concept projects in this sector, including in microfinance. Some of this work will likely come to fruition over the next year, but the widespread adoption of blockchain in smallholder farming is further away.

Blockchain in Smallholder Farming: Sowing the Seeds of Growth offers a snapshot of blockchain's potential, and the broader implications for global agribusiness. These insights should be of interest to stakeholders across agricultural supply chains. Among them are farm organizations, food manufacturers and retailers, providers of services and farm inputs (substances for controlling crop pests and fertilizing soil), transportation and logistics companies, government agencies and NGOs.

"As blockchain moves out of the hype phase, it appears that many successful smallholder applications will employ elements of the technology, target specific problems and capture value in small-scale farming," Cottrill concludes. "Blockchain's potential in this sector could blossom when it is combined with other technologies such as mobile networks, IoT sensing and advanced analytics."

Ted the Friendly Frog by Scott McCall Hops into the Hearts of Children Today

Today, October 16, 2018, author Scott McCall and Brown Books Publishing Group release Ted the Friendly Frog: The Tale of the Diamond. This is the first in a series of ten books that follows an adventurous character that is sure to become well-loved by children. Read this here.

As a child, Scott McCall was inspired by Dr. Seuss and has followed in his footsteps to write fun and exciting rhyming children's books.

"Growing up, I could always write poetry, and rhyming was very easy to me," shared Scott McCall. "I would joke with family and friends and make rhymes up while laughing with them, just for fun. So when I started writing, it came very easy for me."

This new children's series surrounds the tales of an adventure-loving frog, and McCall hopes to do more with his books than just entertain. He has a bigger purpose for sharing these fun stories with young readers. "I planned for these stories to have positive messages and for Ted to be looked at in a positive way. In each adventure he learns a valuable lesson…These stories are fun and entertaining and will teach lessons that the reader can use in everyday life."

With an adorable character and meaning behind the books as well, Mr. McCall is well on his way to having a beloved children's book series.

At Last a Social Media Platform on Your Mobile Which Won’t Need Your Personal Data

The new version (3.8) of Paybookclub App, available in the Google Play Store, will enable new users to register by simply taking three selfies. When fully implemented, the user's encrypted ID and content will be stored on the Bitcoin Block Chain, enabling the user to receive Bitcoin transactions from others and preventing mass hacking of personal data.

Paybookclub will also use a unique psychological profiling technology using AI instead of user's personal data to create fast and rewarding friendship among its users, like in real life.

According to Shred Pillai, CEO of Paybookclub and the creator of the three selfies user ID using Google Vision API, taking selfies have become an acceptable and universal social gesture like high fives. Today Google Vision API makes it possible to create unique ID proofs with selfies and social witnessing. Combined with the block chain technology, immutable and hacker proof user identification is a reality.

Amit Verma, CEO of Innovellent Technologies, the software partner of Paybookclub, adds. "We are the first to implement, way back in 2016, Fingerprint and Iris Scan ID in a mobile App developed in India which will still be part of the ID system and first layer protection of the Paybookclub App. The three selfies, which no one has tried so far, will be an innovative and unique addition to strengthen the security."

Santosh Kumar Singh, CTO of Innovellent Technologies explains further. "Though we would have liked to release a complete system including the Bitcoin block chain integration, it was vital to receive feedback on the ease of use and acceptability of the three selfies for user verification as it depends on a widely taken for granted social behavior. Google Vision API has been adopted by various mobile and desktop based applications, but it is probably the first time its unique capabilities are tested in automating a user identification process by providing witnesses. Google Vision API being a long way from actual facial recognition, this will be one of the best use cases for the Google's image based technology."

About Paybookclub:
Paybookclub, a venture by Capexsales Ltd, United Kingdom, is a futuristic, AI driven, user generated content monetizing platform using block chain for immutable Intellectual Property rights of content.

Nada's Italy Small Group Tours Pledges Huge Children's Charity Drive For Its Grand Opening

Top rated and award winning exclusive small group travel specialist, Nada's Italy is launching its second major South Florida event since opening its second location earlier this summer in downtown Delray Beach. On Thursday, October 25th, Nada's Italy will host a community focused event to drive awareness and relief for the less fortunate youth of South Florida. This luxury affair will be topped with a ribbon cutting ceremony with the Delray Beach Chamber of Commerce.

Nada's Italy was started by Italian-born Nada Vergili, an expat from Florence who moved to the USA and developed the business in 2004 with a strong passion for sharing her culture with the American public. She coined an intriguing slogan "Tours for people who don't go on tours.", catering to active adult travelers wanting to experience Italy in a more intimate, stress-free, relaxed way, without the high-paced structured schedules of large-scale tours. One of Nada's strongest passions is helping those who are less privileged, especially the youth. Throughout the years, she has worked diligently to partner with some of the best charities nationally and locally. This drive has created a connection like no other with the Milagro Center and 4KIDS. Read all the latest news.

For the last 21 years, Milagro Center's uniquely integrated programs have focused on empowering economically-disadvantaged and academically at-risk youth and their families to succeed, both in school and in life, having a resounding positive influence on our Delray Beach, Florida community. 4KIDS believes every child deserves to be in a home with a loving family. It is the goal of 4KIDS to see more siblings stay together, to see every child inside a real home with a family, and to stay in their own community where they can thrive. 4KIDS does this through hundreds of foster families, all committed to walking the whole journey with a child. Over the last 20 years 4KIDS has served 25,000 children in south Florida providing them with hope, homes and healing.

Nada's intention for the Delray Beach store is to make it a central place for residents and visitors to connect around "all-things-Italian" through Italian classes, travel workshops, and fund-raising events for local non-profits. To add to this Italian-themed experience, everyone who walks through the door will receive exclusive discounts on Nada's imported Italian products and enjoy authentic Italian food & wine. Nada's Italy will donate a portion of profits from the night to both 4KIDS and Milagro Center. Nada invites those with a passion for philanthropy and travel to join her for this momentous occasion. The event is on October 25th from 6pm - 8pm and is free to attend.
