The gap between technology and affordability prohibits farmers from maximizing land usage, a key contributor to world hunger.

To put it in perspective, almost one-third of the world’s population are smallholder farmers working on farms smaller than five hectares. Currently, these farms struggle to produce enough food to feed the residents living on that plot. Comparatively, in G20 nations, farmers often have access to modern technologies that allow them to operate their farms as a commercial enterprise, producing enough food for the family who resides on the plot and hundreds of other people. The result is a massive gap in land utilization.

To overcome this challenge, there is a need to initiate a new age of data-driven farming that allows farmers to leverage the power of technology to collect, analyze and use data to make informed decisions, but at a cost that is attainable by smallholder farms. By incorporating data-driven insights into farming practices, smallholder and family farmers can enhance their crop yields, increase their income and contribute to global food security.

Leading the world of AgTech
Dimitra, a global blockchain-based AgTech company, aims to bridge this gap by collaborating with governments and non-governmental organizations through its Connected Farmer platform which will be made available to smallholder farmers in developing countries without charge.
