As 2024 comes to a close, Dimitra reflects on a year defined by technological breakthroughs, impactful collaborations, and a commitment to empowering global agriculture through sustainability and innovation. From advances in AI and blockchain to global partnerships driving change, Dimitra continues to lead the AgTech revolution.

Dimitra strives to help developing countries in ways that go beyond agricultural technological development. We have also undertaken course development in software programming skills, in areas that include Web Development and Mobile App Development, including the application of the most recent developments in LLM based software development and testing AI agents and tools.

Our goal with these educational efforts is to provide opportunities for local youth to learn valuable skills and to provide technological employment opportunities that allow skills development opportunities that allow the fostering of local technological entrepreneurship. Course development in Machine Learning, Web3/Blockchain and Agronomic Sciences are next in our global training roadmap.
