23:01 Getting Involved with Dimitra
Jon takes us through Dimitra's journey of utilizing blockchain, AI, and advanced technology to revolutionize small farms around the world, especially in regions like Africa, Latin America, and Asia. With their mobile app, Dimitra offers farmers essential tools like satellite imaging, crop tracking, and ESG compliance reporting to help them stay competitive in the modern market. The app allows them to manage their farms efficiently while contributing to the fight against climate change and meeting the rising demand for environmental sustainability.
Key Highlights:
Blockchain for Agriculture: Discover how Dimitra is using blockchain to address challenges faced by small farmers, including deforestation, supply chain tracking, and crop management.
Carbon Credits and Sustainability: Jon explains how Dimitra’s system allows farmers to earn carbon credits by proving they are carbon neutral or contributing positively to the environment. These credits can then be converted into crypto or fiat, providing an additional revenue stream for farmers.
ESG Compliance and Global Regulations: With upcoming regulations in Europe around deforestation, Dimitra's app helps farmers ensure they meet all compliance requirements. Starting in 2025, farmers must provide deforestation-free reports to continue exporting crops to Europe, and Dimitra is leading the charge in making that possible.
Dimitra’s Global Expansion: With active projects in countries like Brazil, Kenya, India, and Mexico, Dimitra is expanding its footprint across 70 countries. Jon shares insights into their expansion strategy and how they are partnering with governments, cooperatives, and large agricultural corporations to bring innovation to the farming sector.
Real-World Asset (RWA) Tokenization: Dimitra is also exploring RWA tokenization, enabling crypto investors to sponsor trees or crops for farmers. This creates a mutually beneficial system where investors can participate in agricultural production, while farmers receive the resources they need to thrive.
Why Dimitra Stands Out:
End-to-End Technology: Dimitra’s tech includes proprietary AI for satellite imaging, carbon calculations, and ESG compliance—all built in-house by their team of 100+ developers.
Partnerships with Cooperatives: Rather than selling to individual farmers, Dimitra works directly with cooperatives and large corporations, ensuring that thousands of farmers benefit from the app simultaneously.
Government Partnerships: With support from governments like Brazil, Dimitra is helping entire nations adhere to global sustainability standards, making it easier for farmers to export their crops and access new markets.
