Deforestation affects everyone in the world. It is responsible for approximately 10 percent of global warming. Without trying to combat deforestation, it is impossible to combat global warming. EU Deforestation Regulation and Compliance is working to make the world a better place.

Deforestation is the purposeful clearing of forested land, and industrial agriculture accounts for a colossal 85 percent of deforestation worldwide.

Unsustainable farming methods

An example of this is slash-and-burn agriculture. It occurs when a farmer burns down trees on their land, allowing the ash to fertilize the land for crops. Although this may be sustainable for the farmers for a short period. They have to repeat it as the soil only remains fertile for a couple of years. It is not a sustainable farming method for the planet in the long run. It causes long-term harm to the environment.

When trees are cleared to make room for farming practices like logging, oil palm, rubber tree plantations, and cattle ranching, the amount of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere increases. Trees play a vital role in the atmosphere. They take in carbon dioxide for photosynthesis, which is in their wood. Farmers burn the trees, and this releases carbon dioxide into the air. As the number of trees continues to decline. An increasing amount of greenhouse gas collects in the atmosphere, accelerating global warming.

In addition to the environmental repercussions listed above. Deforestation threatens biodiversity and leaves soil more prone to erosion and forest fires.

Enforcing sustainable farming methods

The United Nations and the EU are working to limit the trade of products linked to deforestation worldwide to help combat the effects of climate change. The new regulation sets strict mandatory due diligence rules for companies that want to place relevant products on the EU market or export them. Once it becomes law, traders and operators have 18 months to adjust to the regulations, while smaller companies will have two years to adapt.

Operators and traders will have to prove that the products do not originate on land deforested after the 31st of December 2020. In addition to deforestation, operators will need to verify their production complies with the local laws of the producing country.

Evaluating the metrics based on crop-specific criteria, regional or country-specific regulations, as well as EU-specified criteria. When considering the criteria, the metrics set by the EU will be used as the baseline standard, and any other criteria, be it regional, country-specific, or produce-specific, will be taken into account based on the highest of the two standards. If a specific country’s criteria are different or have different components. Measurements from both will be taken into account, and the higher standards will be considered the primary metric.

So what does this mean? 

Farmers around the globe are adjusting their farming practices to adhere to these new environmentally conscious changes. Farmers have to substantiate their farming practices to allow for the export of produce. Otherwise, the importer will face fines of up to four percent of their annual EU turnover.

Besides avoiding deforestation to make way for farmland, planting new trees can make farms more sustainable. Some crops like coffee and cocoa grow very well under the shade of large trees. In addition, fruit-bearing shade trees can provide additional income for farmers. However, reducing deforestation doesn’t start and end with the farmers. Influential commodity trading companies are crucial to reducing farmers’ pressure to produce more.

The future of farming

Dimitra offers a Deforestation Certification Module as an upgrade to its Connected Farmer and Livestock Guru platforms making deforestation evaluation accessible to combat the climate crisis. The deforestation module makes it possible for producers and traders to prove their goods are unrelated to deforestation. It also helps regulatory authorities confirm compliance. GPS Track and trace is required to prove compliance with the new EU regulations by being able to show that the product is registered and comes directly from the farm.

Origin farms are defined by a geo-fence so that the system can continuously monitor land use via satellite. When products are being verified, the regulatory authority can trace the product back to its origin farm and assess if any trees were lost to make way for planting crops. Users also can create a year-over-year user-generated report based on data from their designated geofence inputs for an additional fee.

So, who can benefit from adopting this technology? This technology can impact any party within the agricultural chain. For example, farmers and cooperatives can consolidate the information on their farms, and governments can provide better compliance and standardized assessment for the buyers and producers of affected products. All of this data is written to an enterprise grade blockchain to provide transparency and take advantage of blockchain’s security and immutable ledger.

Dimitra also adds other values of importance to the EU, including the responsible use of pesticides, soils, and water, and respect for humans, including labor rights.

Striving for a greener future

With Dimitra’s ability to fully automate the capture of deforestation, calculating the loss and coverage with year-over-year reporting, farmers, cooperatives, and governments can improve the accuracy of their information while helping to combat deforestation while trying to make an impact on climate change. Working towards this goal is essential to improve the state of the environment globally. In fact, it is estimated by the assessment from the European Commission that at least 71,920 hectares (278 sq miles) of forest annually — (around 100,000 football pitches) will be protected with this law. As a result, global carbon emissions are also estimated to drop by 31.9 million.

Interview with Dimitra

The agricultural industry went through a major metamorphosis during the industrial revolution, and it might be set for another groundbreaking evolutionary stage now with sustainability in agriculture. With the rise of blockchain technology, the farming and agricultural sectors are witnessing a lot of innovation, improvements, and improved sustainability in agriculture.

According to the founders of AgTech company Dimitra. The opportunities for the agricultural sector to benefit from blockchain-based tech are endless. Find out more about the future of AgTech in the latest Cointelegraph Interview below.

Agriculture and technology merge

Q: Is the adoption of blockchain technology becoming more widespread across the agricultural industry? What are the main challenges for small farmers and agricultural companies to incorporate this technology?

The adoption of blockchain technology is growing within the AgTech sector; the spread of mobile devices has made farming applications accessible to farmers globally. Earlier in developing nations, few farmers had laptops or computers. Mobile device penetration in rural areas lagged in developing countries.

Early applications were basic and didn’t work well offline, which is a necessity in agriculture. They also only offered a few features requiring farmers to buy several applications, which was a significant deterrent.

Initially, mobile-based systems were distributed in North America and Europe. Farmers in developing nations have struggled with expensive Agtech applications and their licensing costs.

Q: What is AgFi? What are the key aspects of this nascent space, and how can AgFi help farmers?

AgFi is digitizing the farming value chain from crop to end consumer and combining agronomic sciences, environmental sciences, blockchain, remote sensing, IoT sensing, and machine learning with AI algorithms.

AgFi helps farmers make data-driven decisions and connects their farming operations to their financing and insurance activities, providing them with a complete enterprise-based system.

Q: Both crypto and the agricultural industry have been blamed to be dangerous to the environment. Is there a way to offset the negative effects by combining the strengths of both of these industries?

Historically farming has focused on productivity without consideration for environmental effects. In the past decade, Ag sciences have improved and developed new techniques to make farming sustainable. Converting the world’s farmers requires training. Blockchain-based systems can help measure carbon performance and advise farmers on techniques that optimize their carbon performance while maintaining productivity.

Dimitra believes that educating farmers via our platform is key to addressing these issues. We reward them with points and DMTR tokens by following best practices, helping the planet and the farmer (through monetization of their data) at the same time.

AgTech is for farmers and investors alike

Q: What is the other side of the coin, how can blockchain tech help investors get into the farming and agricultural industry?

There is a perfect convergence of demand, growth, and regulatory pressure that will drive blockchain-based adoption in agriculture. Investors need to consider these market factors as well as perform specific research into the companies operating in the space. The AgTech and AgFi sectors are ripe for innovation, with digitization growth rampant on a global scale.

Agriculture itself is a 12.5 trillion USD industry growing at a compound annual growth rate of 11.1%. The food sector is an 8.77 trillion dollar industry and is forecasted to reach 11 trillion USD by 2027.

Q: What is Dimitra’s target audience? Are you looking to help farmers or investors, or does your company offer solutions for both?

Dimitra’s target audience is farmers and investors.

Investors who want to support the global food and agriculture industry while making an impact on the environment, global poverty, and the ability to benefit from the volume, revenue, and price growth of one of the world’s largest industry verticals.

Farmers who want access to digital analytics of their farm to help make better decisions; access to capital for inputs and trade financing; access to insurance designed for small farmers to mitigate weather, climate, and pest risks.

Q: What is the DMTR token, and how does it work to bring utility to both farmers and investors?

The DMTR token is an ERC 20 token. Farmers can pay for their licenses of the Dimitra Connected Farmer or Livestock Guru with DMTR tokens. Users of the platforms will have the ability to buy and sell goods within the Dimitra marketplace through the use of the DMTR token. Users can also stake their tokens via the DMTR portal. Farmers’ crops or livestock can use track and trace from seed via the entire supply chain.

Farmers download our application on their mobile phones, geofence their farms, and then start communicating with the platform. As they communicate with the platform, they receive Dimitra points. Then once they get to a certain level, they can offramp from the DMTR points to DMTR tokens, other cryptos, and local fiat currencies and buy goods like sensors in the DMTR marketplace or sell their goods.

Other utility functions within Dimitra include data and analytics, input loans, trade finance, crop insurance, carbon credits, logistics, track and trace, and token burn initiatives. sustainability in agriculture

Q: What do you think the future holds for AgFi and the industry as a whole?

The opportunities for AgFi products are endless if approached correctly. It may be the largest underserved industry segment in the world and within the blockchain world. There are new financing opportunities, new insurance opportunities, growing demand for provenance, track and trace, the incredible demand for data, and increased focus on decarbonization, freshwater conservation, soil biodiversity, soil loss, sustainable and precision farming, food waste reduction, food safety, and security.

It is an exciting new opportunity that makes a real difference in many UN Sustainability objectives. Environment, world hunger, poverty, and many more. sustainability in agriculture

Dimitra’s platforms consist of Connected Farmer, Dimitra Livestock Guru and Connected Coffee. The platforms utilize block chain technology, incorporating mobile technology, machine learning, Internet of Things devices, satellite and drone imagery, genomics, and advanced farming research. Dimitra’s data driven approach helps farmers increase yield, reduce expenses and mitigate risk.

BELIZE CITY, BELIZE — Dimitra Incorporated, a global Agtech company on a mission to make its technology available to farmers globally, has developed and released its second set of five satellite reports included within the basic Connected Farmer platform. These reports play a significant role in providing farmers with actionable data to increase yield, reduce expenses and mitigate risk.

Dimitra’s mission is to ensure every farmer, regardless of economic status, has access to simple, beautiful, and actionable technology. In August 2022, Dimitra announced that they had released five satellite reports to improve farming performance.

Today, Dimitra has developed a total of fifteen additional satellite reports to help farmers make informed decisions to improve their productivity and farm more sustainably. These reports are available to farmers, in addition to the core set of five satellite reports for performance analysis. Keep reading to learn more about the functions of the second set of reports.

Dimitra Satellite Reports 6 to 10

Enhanced Vegetation Index (EVI) uses to remotely assess vegetation conditions in areas with a high density of trees, such as rainforests. One common application of EVI is it is used to identify stress related to drought over different landscapes.

Green Chlorophyll Vegetation Index (GCI) monitors the impact of seasonality, environmental stress, or pesticides on vegetation health. It’s used to estimate the amount of chlorophyll present in various crop species, which in turn contributes to biomass production that is measured by the crop health index (NDVI). The chlorophyll content mainly reflects the physiological state of vegetation. GCI values are low in stressed vegetation.

Green Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (GNDVI) measures the photosynthetic activity in the vegetation cover. GNDVI is very useful in detecting wilted or aged crops, which in turn helps farmers identify ready-to-harvest crops.

Structure Intensive Pigment Vegetation Index (SIPI) helps identify early signs of crop disease or other causes of plant stress. It measures the ratio of carotenoids to chlorophyll content. It is beneficial in crops with a variable canopy structure. The increased values of the SIPI signal are an indication of vegetation stress.

Normalized Burned Ratio (NBR) highlights burned agricultural lands. It is handy in detecting active wildfires in agriculture and forestry to analyze the severity of burned areas and monitor the vegetation survival after the burn. NBR is also valuable for detecting stubble burning in agricultural fields after harvesting crops, often leading to air pollution.

BELIZE CITY, BELIZE — Dimitra Incorporated, a global Agtech company, is on a mission to make technology available for farmers worldwide. As a result, Dimitra has signed an agreement with the Uniagraria University of Colombia. Uniagraria is one of Colombia’s most recognized universities focused on agribusiness. Dimitra and Uniagraria will teach small holder farmers how to use digital technologies to increase their yield, reduce expenses, and mitigate risk within the Colombian agricultural industry.

In the Colombian agricultural industry, knowledge about Agtech is minimal. Small and medium farmers hold responsibility for 83.5% of the goods produced for the local region supply chain and food security. Dimitra’s Connected Farmer Platform utilizes a data driven farming approach. Agricultural production rates can increase by implementing these agriculture methods.

It is necessary to lead at the national level, to implement these changes on the farm. One way to do this is by spreading the knowledge of the industry’s digital transformation to professors and university students, who can knowingly apply and use these technologies.

Dr. Fernando Mahecha Aguilera, Dimitra’s Colombian Sales Partner, says, “combining Dimitra’s and Uniagraria’s knowledge gives this effort more value. With the support of an expert entity in education, such as Uniagraria, the utility of this project will grow immensely.” Working with Uniagraria is just the beginning. Joining forces with other institutions will add value even more to this partnership through joint research and data analysis.

Dimitra and Uniagraria are exploring opportunities to expand technical knowledge, increase profit, and reduce costs to smallholder farmers who currently don’t have access to modern technology. With Dimitra’s Connected Farmer Platform, farmers can produce more sustainably, economically, and environmentally.

Dimitra is a unique name. It is a nod to ancient mythology. In Greek culture, Demeter, or Dimitra, is the Goddess of Agriculture, responsible for bringing knowledge on how to cultivate the land and credited for producing successful harvest. Our company, Dimitra, aligns beautifully with this idea of providing resources to increase growth for farmers.

Here’s a little history on Dimitra, and how the tales and ethos surrounding her identity align with our own mission.

The Goddess Dimitra

Δημήτηρ, Dimitra/Demeter, is an Olympian goddess, ruling from Mount Olympus over the harvest and agriculture, the grains, and fertility of the earth. They would affectionately call her “she of the grain” and “giver of customs.” A distinctly female divinity, the motifs that surround Dimitra’s identity include fruitfulness, one who brings something to pass, and divine giver. This benefactress presides over sacred law that governs the cycles of life, death, the crops and the harvest.

• Dimitra is the mother of Persophones, the goddess of spring growth who searched for her daughter. A tale described in the Homeric Hymn to Demeter, thought to have been penned sometime between 1400 – 1200 BC.
• Dimitra, a Greek goddess, closely associated with a Roman goddess, Ceres, and an Anatolian goddess, Cybele.
• As an earth goddess, Dimitra’s iconography includes fruits, grains, flowers, and similar symbols of growth and new life. Her emblem is a poppy.

Praise of Dimitra

Cretans were recorded to have worshiped the goddess Dimitra. She was in two major festivals: the Thesmophoria festival and the Eleusinian festival.

Ancient cultures did not have access to information about the science of farming. They were governed by superstitions, appealing to goddesses like Dimitra to bring them prosperity and good fortune.

Today, while the body of knowledge around agriculture has improved, there are still many farmers around the world who have understanding but lack the tools needed to support growth.

That is where we come in, and why we take this namesake as a charge to further our mission.

Dimitra: Agricultural Technology for Farmers Around the World

Here is a summary of our purpose-built platform:

“Dimitra Platform v1.0 is built to ensure equal access to technology, knowledge, and marketplaces to farmers globally. Dimitra v1.0 is a global platform that fosters collaboration between farmers, government ministries, international aid organizations, universities, agricultural input and service companies, finance and insurance companies, and other key stakeholders in the Agricultural value chain.”

We are working in the world, offering oversight, guidance, and provision to farmers.

Using the power of technology we are passionate about equipping smallholder farmers all over the world with resources that, compared to how they operate today, may even feel supernatural.

To be sure, the intricacies of technology connected by IoT and using things like data, sensors, satellite imagery, and more is at a level of sophistication most smallholder farmers in developing countries have never dreamed of.

We are delivering on a vision to enhance the agricultural capability of farmers across the globe.

Farmers are now, and always will be, at the heart of our solution. We work every day to give more to them.

Our Platform
