ResumeThe achievements of west and central Africa in producing more than 60% of the world’s cocoa, and sub-Saharan Africa’s achievement in producing 13% of the world’s cotton, hide child labor. These significant levels of production often involve child exposure to issues such as a lack of education; pesticides; dangerous farming tools; work accidents; human trafficking; etc. Blockchain offers an immutable register that allows for digital transactions, smart contract creation, as well as end-to-end product traceability. The main aim of this article is to provide an intelligent contract framework that protects child labor in farming while further enlightening understandings of adoption-related challenges. This framework considers conditions that farmer associations need to satisfy and gives them a tool to improve children’s welfare. A research model for the adoption of this tool has been proposed and validated through surveys in the cotton and cacao sectors.
