# Assessment 10 #### Blockchain requires farmers to share all their agricultural data publicly, eliminating privacy and competitive advantage. * [ ] True * False **Notes to Learners** This is a critical misconception. Blockchain can be configured for **privacy**: farmers control what data is shared, with whom, and under what conditions. In the distributed AI example, farmers never share raw data—only aggregate learning models. In supply chain applications, sensitive business data (pricing, margins, customer lists) **remains private**, while only traceability data (origin, handling, certification) is shared with authorized parties. Think of blockchain as having different "channels"—some **public** (consumer-facing product authentication), some **permissioned** (supply chain partners only), some **private** (your internal records with blockchain's immutability benefits). You choose what to share, gaining transparency benefits without surrendering competitive intelligence. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
