Abstract: Internet of Things (IoT) has also brought about rapid adoption of technologies in agriculture that provides real-time monitoring and management of crop production, water usage, and soil health. Nevertheless, IoT devices combined with blockchain-based smart contracts create severe energy consumption issues, particularly when the resource is limited. This paper will present a framework that is energy-efficient to implement smart contracts in the network of IoT devices in the agriculture industry. “The proposed solution allows minimizing the computational overhead, preserving data integrity, transparency, and security by improving consensus mechanisms and scheduling transactions. According to the experimental simulations, the framework reduces the energy use by up to 35 percent of that of the existing blockchain execution models, without affecting the operational reliability. The results offer practical lessons towards sustainable precision farming whereby technological innovation is balanced with the environment.
