Farmer Connect | Farmer ID
The future of coffee is connected. Farmer ID enables coffee producers to get connected to the digital supply chain. Farmer ID is an innovative solution that allows any coffee producer with a cell phone and SIM card to connect to the digital supply chain.
Once the Farmer ID is issued and accepted, it allows for transactions to be recorded digitally and validated. This means that e.g. a purchase of coffee can get a digital receipt that is both stored in the coffee producers digital wallet and in the buyers interface. In the end, this means proof of income for the coffee producer which is the gateway to e.g. access to finance.
Farmer ID functionalities:
- Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI) solution.
- Control of personal data in the hands of coffee producers.
- Transaction verification and overview.
- Digital wallet storage of verifiable credentials (e.g. coffee delivery receipts).
- Global access.
A Farmer ID can be issued to the individual producer through the Community Builder interface. For the rest of the supply chain, this means, validated payments data that can be trusted and farm level traceability. These digital receipts can accompany the coffee shipments all the way to the consumer market through integration with other farmer connect solutions.
Farmer ID is part of the journey towards digital, traceable and transparent supply chains, a vital part of a sustainable future.
