Dimitra Incorporated, a global Agtech company on a mission to make its technology available to small farmers globally, has developed and released five satellite reports that are included within the basic Connected Farmer platform. Each report plays a pivotal role in providing farmers with actionable data to increase yield, reduce expenses and mitigate risk.
Dimitra has been developing its technology aimed at helping farmers make better decisions to improve productivity. Reduce environmental impact, store more carbon, and reduce fresh water usage while significantly increasing output.
One technology that Dimitra is using is satellite to allow for analysis and year over year comparisons. In the past year, we have established over 20 different reports that we provide to farmers. When a Dimitra farmer registers for the Connected Farmer app.
Dimitra uses current and past data from some of the most advanced and reliable satellites, mainly Sentinel 1 and 2 from the European Space Agency, to perform various types of analyses on farms, forests, soils, and vegetation in general.
Dimitra’s five basic satellite reports, described below, help farmers (farming anywhere in the world) detect the precise regions of their farms where they need to take action, such as applying fertilizers, performing irrigation at key stages of the season, spraying pesticides and herbicides and others depending on the results of the analyses. This helps farmers minimize their costs in labor and inputs as they only need to act on the precise regions where these actions are necessary.
– describes the difference between visible and near infrared reflectance of vegetation cover. This report estimates the density of green on an area of land, which is proportional to the biomass and chlorophyll content, representing the crops’ health.
Since MSAVI is adjusted to soil effects and is sensitive to early vegetation in the field, it works even when the earth is hardly covered with crops.
– detects moist levels in vegetation using a combination of near-infrared (NIR) and short-wave infrared (SWIR) spectral bands. The LSWI is a reliable indicator of water stress in crops.
And shows the photosynthetic activity of the canopy cover. RECI shows the photosynthetic activity of the canopy cover. Because chlorophyll content directly depends on nitrogen level in plants. Responsible for their green color, this vegetation index in remote sensing helps detect areas with yellow or shed foliage.

If centuries of agriculture have taught humanity anything. It is the fact that rich, bio diverse topsoil produces increased yield and increases the quality of the crop. Topsoil is considered the quintessential requirement for fruit full farming, forming the organic layer of the land composition and housing essential nutrients required for crop cultivation. Additionally, ninety-eight percent of the crops consumed grow on the upper 3 inches of topsoil. Dimitra APAC
However, in the last 100 years alone, the world has lost nearly 30 to 50 percent of its topsoil. Even across some tropical bio diversities such as southern Asia due to urbanization and sub standard agricultural practices. The integrity of the topsoil is of paramount importance to agriculturists worldwide. Which has become a global concern in the current day and age. These factors have cause soil erosion. Further degrading the quality of crops and the fertility of the land. “Due to improper soil management, productivity per acre of land diminishes,” says Jon Trask, Co-Founder and CEO of Dimitra, A data driven agriculture technology company. By ensuring efficient soil management, bolstered by healthy farming practices, Track’s business helps agriculturists thrive through precision farming. Thereby up holding the critical drivers of agriculture: Transparency, Sustainability, Traceability, and Provenance.
Upon engaging with a farmer, Dimitra defines the farming goals of an agriculturist, which serves as a blue print for the company’s technological deployments. “Let us look at a pepper farmer growing jalapeno peppers, for example,” begins Trask. “There are definitive soil conditions and nutrients that are conducive to growing peppers, as is with any crop in the world across any geography. Ensuring these ideal conditions is the first step to farming.” Dimitra has developed a platform that takes into account these definitive farming goals to help farmers achieve two distinct objectives.

By 2050 we will need to feed 9.7 billion people. In 2021, over 1 billion people go to bed hungry everyday, in the past five years this problem is growing, not reducing. One third of the world’s population are smallholder farmers, operating subsistence level farms, typically smaller than 5 hectares and struggling to produce enough food to feed their own family. In G20 nations, farmers have access to technology that helps them operate their farm as a commercial enterprise, greatly exceeding their own family’s needs and allowing them to supply food to hundreds of people. There is certainly a significant divide which needs to be closed. Dimitra USAToday

5 leaders the world of technology is venturing into uncharted territory. Where a collective effort pushed online experiences into new realms of efficiency and effectiveness. Now, on the cusp of Web 3, interoperability and participatory culture are well established. Consumer demand is rising for something new.
Technology solves a lot of the world’s problems and has the potential to do so in ways that affect everyone on the globe. That’s what Web 3 is about: a boundary-less multiverse of endless possibilities. And an upgrade into new territories of human-machine cooperation.
Perhaps the best-developed component of the internet of the future comes in gaming, with entertainment happening every day in the metaverse. This is a space where many business leaders see growth potential. And those with an eye to the realities of Web 3 are already imagining what kind of business can be won. Or conducted in alternate realities.
While digital assets have been taking mainstream media by storm, “Phygital” products might be the nearer future for most of us. The value of a sweater that keeps you warm during the winter but also comes with a digital clone that gives you magical powers in a video game is a lot easier to understand than a pure JPEG.
Building a metaverse requires a balance between designers and engineers; specialists in both fields are often quite idealistic and stubborn in their own ways. To effectively bridge the two without compromising either, the leadership must emphasize on the player and game narrative rather than the business directive. While maximizing profit motivates investors, a good story motivates everybody.
This type of customer-centricity, even while understanding. And supporting the business potential in the metaverse, encapsulates the ethos of Web 3. If Web 2 paved the way to uphold the end-user. Web 3 puts that user on the throne, catering to their every need and reducing any friction in the process.
There is a predictable adoption curve for new technology, and the metaverse is no exception. But the future of blockchain as it stands today can go either way. Like the old west, today’s landscape is filled with outlaws, misfits, and uncertainty. In the hands of responsible developers, it is an opportunity to begin again, take what is broken in Web 2 and fix it through Web 3.
A word of caution, though: If left unchecked, the natural tendency for humanity to misbehave behind a wall of anonymity will destroy the frontier before it even gets a chance to mature. Nevertheless, entertainment within the metaverse as full of potential as a revenue driver for companies of all kinds. That is, if it effectively serves the end-user, and encourages transparency, solid principles of practice, and catalyzes operational excellence. 5 leaders
We are seeing an emerging trend in which Web 3 is people-centered, a principle that competent leaders already understand. But it’s not about who is specifically good at a certain skill set. Such as having the BEST engineer or UX designer. But how each team member can multiply everyone else’s efforts by tenfold. Especially at the early stage, this team dynamic is critical for the exponential growth. Needed to escape the great filter of many failed startups. There is no room for error.
In a totally different sector, some of the original parties in blockchain technology are working to solve problems in the real world with Web 3-friendly strategies. Jon Trask has been an innovator in this space for decades. And has experience of scaling businesses and applying sophisticated technology. He is bringing this acumen to a startup called Dimitra, an agriculture technology platform. Trask and his team of experts are deploying agtech tools. To support smallholder farmers around the world and are already in over 70 countries.
In this alone, Trask faces an unusual leadership dynamic: “Balancing teams of agricultural technologists with app designers and software developers has its own unique challenges. Great people are the key to success and running highly diverse teams has brought incredible value to the design and development process. We wouldn’t be as successful without diverse teams” Dimitra already has active partnerships with government agencies worldwide, which makes the diversity component mission-critical for the company.
The company is harnessing the power of blockchain to create truly useful tools that support food production around the world. “I personally look at this technique as innovating with purpose, innovating to solve a problem but having a clear vision of what outcome we are trying to achieve.” He urges other leaders working toward Web 3 with this directive, “We need to leave room for research, ideation and repetition in our discovery and development process. Balancing innovation and cost is sometimes a challenge. But we need to invest and plan for innovation in today’s Web 3 world.”
In his words, “Blockchain plays a key role in the systems and platforms of the future. Over the past few years we’ve started to uncover where blockchain fits into a developer’s toolbox and this has led to the evolving area of Web 3.”
Web 3 will be full of value from an amalgam of technologies, including machine learning, IoT, data analytics, and more. Delivering these to the end-user in a way that is so effortless. So easy, and optimally efficient is the driving force behind leading innovations in this space. Leading into the future of new online structures and experiences won’t be easy. But purposeful, passionate, mission-driven leaders are already achieving it every day. 5 leaders

Dimitra CIO Review – For small holder and family farmers, the biggest challenge is productivity. Even though this specific group is responsible for 70-80 percent of the worlds food. They still lack access to cutting edge technology and data driven inputs about soil, vegetation, and weather conditions. “The small holder and family farms are greatly underserved technologically and affected by climate change and in many cases extreme poverty. As an AgTech provider, we have designed a connected farmer platform to help the world’s 570 million small holder farmers,” says Jon Trask, Founder and CEO, Dimitra Incorporated.
Founded in 2019, Dimitra applies advanced technology, including AI, Blockchain, IoT, and Satellite, to provide actionable data that help farmers and governments enrich economies through increased crop yields and healthier live stock. “We start with farm planning, work through soil preparation, planting, and crop management all the way down stream to market including export,” says Trask. Each farmer on the Dimitra platform receives Dimitra Points to incentivize their usage of the system. Rewarding behaviors which maximize farming results create an additional incentive to the farmer.
This increases farmers’ outputs while reducing their costs and/or mitigating their risks. The farmers can earn points by registering and managing live stock and crops, using the market place, and providing data. These points convert to Dimitra tokens. And utilized to purchase agricultural services from other members of the Dimitra Ecosystem. This synergistic usage assists in developing the businesses of eco system members. And creates a sustainable network economy within the eco system.
Dimitra collects data from all feasible and practical sources to feed its machine learning and crop models. These models, each designed to preform specific tasks. Produce outputs in the form of recommendations on farm management, alerts, system triggers, and robotic control.
