"Trusted data, sustainability, and finance working together." That was the throughline of our CEO Jon Trask's case study at the FAO Global Conference on Smart Farming.
The economic case is simple: farmers can't access better markets or capital if their data isn't trusted. Trust isn't a soft feature — it's the infrastructure. Dimitra's ecosystem is built to make that infrastructure real, from the field to the buyer to the balance sheet.
Grateful to have shared the stage with leaders from FAO, cooperatives, and agrifood organizations from around the world tackling the same challenge from different angles.
The path to scaling smart farming isn't just about better technology. It's about better connections between data, sustainability, and finance.

In #Guatemala, lower emigration and higher return migration can strengthen economic growth and support productive sectors of the economy, but the benefits are not distributed evenly across households.

#BCWildfire update ⬇️

Recent widespread warming and drying conditions are anticipated to continue through this weekend, especially for southern areas of BC. These conditions will further dry out available fuels, increasing the likelihood of wildfire ignition.

655 million people still live without electricity – and progress is stalling.

Regions like sub-Saharan Africa are at risk of being left behind.

Is 100% access to electricity by 2030 within reach?

⛽ #FossilFuelSubsidies are some of the most trade-distorting forces in the global economy–but volumes keep growing.

Earlier this week, we hosted an event at the @WTO for delegates & experts on the legal & evidence base for fossil fuel subsidy reform.

The nursery network behind this drive isn't just forest department land, and that's worth pointing out.

* Departmental nurseries under the forest department
* Horticulture department nurseries growing fruit bearing varieties
* Resham department nurseries supporting the silk and mulberry economy
* Hundreds of private nurseries contributing saplings too

That silk department detail is easy to miss but it matters. It means this campaign is quietly supporting the rural silk economy at the same time as the environment, two goals achieved through the same nursery network instead of running as separate schemes competing for budget.

That's efficient governance, getting more than one outcome out of the same infrastructure investment.
