Dimitra Connected Farmer

Description

At Dimitra we are on a mission to make our technology available to smallholder farmers globally. We believe that every smallholder farmer, regardless of economic standing, should benefit from simple, beautiful and useful technology... because when farmers thrive, entire economies thrive.

According to World Bank, agricultural development is one of the most powerful tools to end extreme poverty, boost shared prosperity and feed a growing world. Growth in the agriculture sector is 2-4 times more effective in raising incomes among the world's poorest compared to other business sectors.

Smallholder farmers are rapidly adopting mobile phones and have a new platform to run their business, learn new farming techniques, record their performance, communicate with government ministries and agricultural experts. Most agricultural software is an expense that they cannot afford. We are on a mission to change agriculture software affordability.

Dimitra is actively working with governments and non governmental organizations to make our "connected farmer" platform available to smallholder farmers in developing nations, free of charge. This platform enables farmers to use advanced technology which provides them actionable data, breaking the cycle of poverty, enriching their economy through increased crop yields and healthier livestock.

Our "Connected Farmer" platform provides a variety of functionality to support a farmer running a small business.
