TruGanic is a decentralized ecosystem designed to solve the "trust deficit" in organic supply chains. By integrating Hyperledger Fabric, IoT-driven AI, and Zero Trust security, we provide a tamper-proof record of food from the farm to the consumer's hand.
- Trust Deficit: There is a pervasive lack of authenticity and consumer trust in organic food systems.
- Traceability Gap: Current data suggests that 40% of organic products cannot be traced back to their source.
- Systemic Vulnerabilities: These gaps undermine the growth and global integrity of the entire organic sector.
Our solution bridges four critical research gaps through a multi-layered architecture:
- Developer: Weerapperuma W. D. Y. C.
- Focus: Novel Architecture with Zero-Trust Security and Dynamic Plugin Management.
- Contribution: Ensures every service-to-service interaction is authenticated, eliminating implicit trust in distributed systems.
- Developer: Thilakarathna S. N. R. W. W. C. N.
- Focus: Addressing the Data Veracity Gap via IoT field monitoring.
- Contribution: Detects chemical fertilizer usage through real-time soil property analysis and cross-references farmer logs.
- Developer: Alwis D. A. C.
- Focus: Solving the Connectivity and Scalability Gap.
- Contribution: Implements an edge-based blockchain to handle offline logistics caching and ensure data integrity in "dead zones".
- Developer: Rashmina W. W. K.
- Focus: Closing the Usability Gap.
- Contribution: Translates raw blockchain records into consumer-friendly insights using an ML insight engine and AR applications.
| Metric | Goal |
|---|---|

- Regulatory & Certification Bodies.
- Value Proposition:
- Elimination of "Trust Fraud": Data-backed verification of organic status.
- Uninterrupted Data Integrity: Reliable tracking even without internet connectivity.
- Consumer-Ready Intelligence: Direct, visual proof of food quality via AR.
- Financial Feasibility:
- Initial Setup: Estimated between $5,000 – $15,000.
- Operational Costs: Low per-batch cost (~$0.50 – $2.00).
- Scalability: High feasibility with horizontal scaling capabilities.
- Security Management: System admin initiates and manages service-to-service security using zero trust architecture.
- Origin Logging: Farmer data flows to the blockchain while certification bodies receive real-time alerts.
- Logistics Tracking: Transport agents log trip data with specialized handling for offline edge cases.
- Consumer Verification: Consumers access data via the ML insight engine and AR application.
Adoption Plan:
- Phase 1: Controlled Pilot (Months 1-4).
- Phase 2: B2B Integration & Certification (Months 5-10).
- Phase 3: Consumer Rollout (Months 11+).
