Unlock the future of agriculture with our special guest, Henry Duckworth, co-founder and CEO of Agridex, as he shares how blockchain technology is revolutionizing the agricultural sector. Henry explains how Agridex is deploying blockchain to create a seamless digital marketplace, offering farmers faster, more reliable payments and providing consumers with transparent information about their food's origins and carbon footprint. We dive deep into the significance of immutable data and instant settlements via USDC, especially in regions like Argentina where currency volatility is a critical issue.
