Claim 10:
11. A computer system for identifying significant events for food traceability for use by a distributed agriculture supply chain, the system comprising a processor communicatively coupled to a plurality of Internet of Things (IoT) sensors, the processor configured to execute instructions that, when executed on the processor, cause the processor to:
train a neural network to automatically identify significant events for food traceability, wherein the neural network comprises a plurality of artificial cells interconnected via a plurality of gates, and wherein each gate encodes a strength of a relationship in the connection between an output of one artificial cell and an input of another artificial cell, the training comprising:
receiving training data, wherein the training data comprises labeled event data for a plurality of farms over a plurality of days;
generating, by the neural network, a probability factor representing a chance that an event in the training data will be significant for food traceability; and
comparing the generated probability to the received labels;
in response to the comparison, updating the encoded strength of at least some of the gates;

receive input data from a plurality of Internet of Things (IoT) sensors, wherein each IoT sensor is operatively coupled to at least one agriculture supply chain entity and wherein each of the IoT sensors generates a series of events about its associated entities;
calculate, using the trained neural network, a probability for whether each event in the series of events has significance in terms of traceability;
automatically filter events in the plurality of series of events having a calculated probability less than a threshold; and
automatically selectively transmit, by a network interface, only the data associated with the unfiltered events to a plurality of blockchain nodes of a distributed ledger.
