Dimitra Making a difference

By 2050, it is estimated that 10 billion people will inhabit the earth. And agricultural development will be a powerful mechanism to end extreme poverty, facilitate shared prosperity and feel the overall global population. The global agri-food industry is worth an estimated $8.5 trillion. And urgently needs technological innovation if it aims to achieve such targets.

Farmers across G20 nations have access to technology that helps them create profitable businesses. And provide millions of people with sustainable and good quality food. Such circumstances contrast with emerging countries’ small farmers that struggle to flourish and produce enough food for their families. Such a gap must be reduced and eventually closed if the global target is to accommodate and sustainably feed 10 billion people.

Blockchain in action – Dimitra Making a difference

Blockchain and many other emerging technologies could contribute enormously to farmers worldwide in tackling rising costs of supplies, labor shortages, and consumers’ rising expectations for transparency and sustainability.
