2月 15日20點，追風社邀請到了 Jon Trask CEO & Founder of Dimitra

以下是直播內容：

主持人：可以給我們介紹下Dimitra是什么，做什么的？

Could you please introduce a little bit about Dimitra?

Jon Trask：Hello everyone, my name is Jon Trask and I’m the CEO and founder at Dimitra. Dimitra is a global blockchain-based Agtech company with a mission to help farmers across the world. Dimitra works with governments, farming cooperatives, agricultural corporations, NGOs, and for-profit organizations. Dimitra believes that every smallholder farmer should benefit from simple, beautiful, and useful technology regardless of economic standing.

$DMTR is a utility token created on the Ethereum blockchain as an ERC-20 token.

The $DMTR token is what drives our ecosystem, and farmers can do things like pay for their licenses (Connected Farmer, Livestock Guru, Deforestation, Connected Coffee) with $DMTR tokens, and when our marketplace goes live, they’ll be able to buy things like sensors, coffee, crops, and pay for their transactions with $DMTR tokens.

大家好，我叫Jon Trask，是Dimitra的CEO和創始人。 Dimitra是一家基於區塊鏈的全球農業技術公司，其使命是幫助世界各地的農民。 Dimitra與政府、農業合作社、農業公司、非政府組織和營利性組織合作。Dimitra認為，每一個小農戶都應該從簡單、漂亮和有用的技術中受益，無論經濟地位如何。

$DMTR是在以太坊區塊鏈上創建的一種實用代幣，是一種ERC-20代幣。

$DMTR代幣是驅動我們生態系統的動力，農民可以做一些事情，比如用$DMTR代幣支付他們的許可證（Connected Farmer, Livestock Guru, Deforestation, Connected Coffee），當我們的市場上线後，他們就可以購买傳感器、咖啡、農作物等東西，並用$DMTR代幣支付他們的交易。

主持人：咱們有個Dimitra Livestock Guru，可以介紹下嗎？該平臺的主要作用是什么？

Could you tell us a little bit more about the Dimitra Livestock Guru? What is the main role of this platform? Our community is very curious about it

Jon Trask：Thank you for the great question! We have two versions of Livestock Guru, and people can purchase Livestock Guru with Dimitra Tokens:

Dimitra Livestock Guru Cloud

Livestock Guru is the all-in-one platform that empowers livestock producers to increase the profitability of their herds. The platform provides end-to-end livestock traceability and performance management.

Dimitra Livestock Guru Commercial

Livestock Guru Commercial brings all the features of Livestock Guru Cloud and also helps improve reproductive selection within herds to improve overall livestock productivity, which results in more and higher quality livestock products.

謝謝您的提問! 我們有兩個版本的Dimitra Livestock Guru，人們可以用Dimitra代幣購买Dimitra Livestock Guru。

Dimitra Livestock Guru雲

Dimitra Livestock Guru 是一個多功能平臺，使畜牧業者能夠提高其畜群的盈利能力。該平臺提供端到端的牲畜業可追溯性和績效管理。

Dimitra Livestock Guru商業版

Dimitra 畜牧專家商業版帶來了Dimitra Livestock Guru雲的所有功能，還有助於改善畜群內的繁殖選擇，提高整體牲畜生產力，從而獲得更多、更優質的牲畜產品。

主持人：Dimitra作為一種新型的農機驅動產品，與傳統農機產品相比有哪些優勢？使用 Dimitra 對農民有什么好處？

Dimitra as a new and revolutionary type of farm machinery drive product, what are the advantages of it compared with traditional farm machinery products? What are the benefits farmers get from using Dimitra?

Jon Trask：Dimitra has many advantages for farmers compared to traditional farming approaches. Our technology stack is unique b/c it combines mobile, satellites, sensors (IoT), drones, artificial intelligence and machine learning with the power of blockchain and, therefore, immutable records. Simply put,, we have a data-driven approach that increases yields, reduces expenses, and mitigate risks for farmers and their farms all across the world. We’re told again and again by governments and NGOs that we have more features and functionality when compared to traditional agricultural solutions. Plus as our technologies are used for longer periods of time the results are more powerful and tuned b/c of our AI algorithms and machine learning.

與傳統的耕作方式相比，Dimitra對農民有很多優勢。我們的技術棧是獨特的，因為它結合了移動、衛星、傳感器（物聯網）、無人機、人工智能和機器學習與區塊鏈的力量，因此，不可更改的記錄。簡單地說，我們有一個數據驅動的方法，為世界各地的農民和他們的農場增加產量，減少开支，並減輕風險。政府和非政府組織一再告訴我們，與傳統的農業解決方案相比，我們有更多的特點和功能。此外，隨着我們的技術使用時間的延長，其結果更加強大和調整，因為我們的AI算法和機器學習。

主持人：作為農產品，Dimitra如何幫助農民發展更加可持續農業？

As an agricultural product, how can Dimitra help farmers achieve more sustainable agriculture?

Jon Trask：Very interesting question, and sustainability is super important to Dimitra as we want to make the world a better place and more sustainable. Here is one example of how we do this: imagine a farmer who has a problem with a blight or pest on their farm and the blight or pest covers 25% of their farm (in Papa New Guinea, which is one of our projects, they have a huge problem with Fall ArmyWorm). Before the arrival of drones, a plane would fly back and forth and, the plane would spray pesticides over the entire farm. This is bad for the environment and it's also more expensive for the farmer. However, by using our drone technology with satellites and sensors and GEO fencing that farm, we are able to target just that region on the farm where there is a blight or pest problem, and then the drone sprays only the 25% of the farm that is infected. So, this saves the farm 75% in pesticide costs, and it's also 75% better for the environment.

Every project or nation that we contract with at Dimitra has sustainability as a big focus from the very beginning.

非常有趣的問題，可持續性對Dimitra來說超級重要，因為我們想讓世界變得更好，更有可持續性。這裏有一個關於我們如何做的例子：想象一下，一個農民在他們的農場有一個枯萎病或害蟲的問題，而且這個枯萎病或害蟲覆蓋了他們農場的25%（我們有一個項目在巴布亞新幾內亞，他們有一個巨大的秋季軍蟲的問題）。在無人機到來之前，一架飛機會來回飛行，並且，飛機會在整個農場上噴灑殺蟲劑。這對環境是不利的，而且對農民來說也更昂貴。然而，通過使用我們的無人機技術與衛星和傳感器以及地球同步軌道對該農場進行圍欄，我們能夠只針對農場中存在枯萎病或害蟲問題的那個區域，讓無人機只噴灑農場中被感染的25%的地方。因此，這為農場節省了75%的殺蟲劑成本，而且對環境也有75%的好處。

在Dimitra，與我們籤約的每個項目或國家，從一开始就把可持續性作為一個重要的焦點。

主持人：Dimitra未來的主要發展方向是什么？

What is the main direction of Dimitra's future development?

Jon Trask：The main direction is to keep building more functionalities into all our platforms, adding more farmers and implementing our solutions in more nations. We still want to help the 570 million small farms across the world. From a crypto perspective, our goal is to add more functionality like the Dimitra marketplace where customers will be able to buy and sell goods with the DMTR token and our newest initiative our Sponsorship Program that just got announced earlier today .

主要方向是繼續在我們所有的平臺上建立更多的功能，增加更多的農民，在更多的國家實施我們的解決方案。我們仍然希望幫助世界各地的5.7億個小農場。從加密貨幣的角度來看，我們的目標是增加更多的功能，如Dimitra市場，客戶將能夠用DMTR代幣購买和銷售商品，以及我們最新的倡議，即今天早些時候剛剛宣布的贊助計劃。 Q6

主持人：我們社區想要知道更多關於Dimitra 的代幣經濟學及價值在哪裏？

Our community would like to learn about the most updated $DMTR economics and value of $DMTR?

Jon Trask：Here is our updated chart of DMTR tokenomics:

主持人：一個項目的成長離不开社區，團隊將採取哪些措施來維護社區和投資者的利益？

No project can grow without the community, what measures will your team take to protect the interests of the community and investors?

Jon Trask：The Dimitra community is very important to us and everything we do we ask internally if what we are doing serves them best as we are a customer centric company. We listen to feedback in our social media channels and answer all questions when possible. Dimitra listens to our farmers, and to the governments we work with and Dimitra will only work if our customers (ie Dimitra Crypto Community, Farmers, and Governments / NGO’s) are happy. It’s also our goal to update everyone as regularly as possible via all our social media outlets on what's new and engage our communities as new platforms or features launch. Of course when things are under NDA such as upcoming exchange listings we cannot announce that to the community. We want more involvement and engagement from our communities. If our social media numbers increase over time and the articles we put out in Cointelegraph have increased views month by month I’d say we are building more support.

Dimitra社區對我們非常重要，我們所做的一切都會在內心先問我們自己，我們所做的事情是否對客戶是最好的，因為我們是一家以客戶為中心的公司。我們傾聽社會媒體渠道的反饋，並盡可能地回答所有問題。 Dimitra傾聽我們的農民，以及與我們合作的政府，只有當我們的客戶（即Dimitra Crypto社區、農民和政府/非政府組織）感到滿意時，Dimitra才會做這件事情。我們的目標也是通過我們所有的社交媒體盡可能地定期更新每個人的新情況，並在新平臺或功能推出時讓我們的社區參與進來。當然，當事情處於NDA之下，如即將到來的交易所上市，我們不能向社區宣布。我們希望我們的社區能有更多的參與和互動。如果我們的社交媒體數量隨着時間的推移而增加，而且我們在Cointelegraph上發表的文章的瀏覽量也逐月增加，我們會建立更多的支持。

主持人：能告訴我們您的安全策略、審計以及每項可能保護您的用戶資金和保護他們隱私的措施嗎？

Could you tell us more about your security strategy, audits or other measures you take to protect users’ assets and privacy?

Jon Trask：Security is always top priority for Dimitra and as you can imagine working with governments and NGO’s requires a lot of due diligence to ensure we are secure. When Dimitra launched in 2021 we did a smart contract audit with our partner Certik here: https://www.certik.com/projects/dimitra. In addition to this, we always keep users of our portal for staking and sponsorship in cold storage. Customer data and keeping that private and protected is of utmost importance to us as a company.

安全始終是Dimitra的首要任務，與政府和非政府組織合作需要大量的盡職盡責的調查以確保我們的安全。當Dimitra在2021年推出時，我們與我們的合作夥伴Certik在這裏做了一個智能合約審計：https://www.certik.com/projects/dimitra。除此以外，我們始終將我們的網站的用戶進行押注和贊助的情況進行冷處理。客戶數據並保持其隱私和保護對我們公司來說是最重要的。

主持人：Dimitra的盈利模式是什么？

What is the profit model of Dimitra?

Jon Trask：Dimitra has many revenue streams. First, there is revenue generated from licensing our Connected Farmer platform, our Connected Coffee platform, Our Livestock Guru platforms, and most recently our Deforestation platform. Dimitra also makes revenues from custom builds or features that customers ask us for (there are the out of box versions of our platforms and then there is the possibility to customize applications). There is also revenue generated from buying extra machine learning reports, and eventually we’ll be selling anonymized agricultural data sets via our partners Ocean Protocol and their data marketplace. Another revenue stream is farmers buying things like extra IoT sensors for their farms and having to buy those sensors with DMTR tokens. As we onboard more and more farms, communities, and regions of countries this will all add up over time. Keep in mind we are contracted with 22 million farms + to use our platforms. This doesn’t mean they are implemented or that all 22 million + farms will take our platforms but the governments we are working with want our platforms to be with as many of their farms as possible. It’s a very exciting time for us.

Dimitra有很多收入來源。首先，我們的 "Connected Farmer"平臺、"Connected Coffee "平臺、"Livestock Guru "平臺和最近的 "Deforestation "平臺的授權所產生的收入。Dimitra還從客戶要求的定制化構建或功能中獲得收入（我們的平臺有开箱即用的版本，也有可能做定制化應用程序）。還有來自購买額外的機器學習報告的收入，最終我們將通過我們的合作夥伴海洋協議和他們的數據市場出售匿名的農業數據集。另一個收入來源是農民為他們的農場購买額外的物聯網傳感器等東西，並且必須用DMTR代幣購买這些傳感器。隨着我們加入越來越多的農場、社區和國家地區，隨着時間的推移，這些都會增加。請記住，我們與2200萬個農場籤訂了合同，以使用我們的平臺。這並不意味着他們已經實施或所有2200萬+農場都會使用我們的平臺，但與我們合作的政府希望我們的平臺與他們盡可能多的農場合作。這對我們來說是一個非常令人興奮的時刻。

Q10

主持人：據我們所知Dimitra也運用了很多AI和機器學習的技術，能給我們具體說說Dimitra是如何運用AI和ML的嗎？您是怎么看待最近的AI技術的革新和發展的？

As far as we know, Dimitra has been utilizing a lot of AI and Machine Learning Technology too, can you tell us more about it? And How are you viewing the latest development of the AI technology?

Jon Trask：This is a great question - thank you for this great question and first please take a look at our new AI focussed DMTR logo:

Dimitra利用AI技術和大數據有效解決全球農業問題|追風區 AMA

We love the logo and hope you do too :) Artificial intelligence is certainly a hot topic these days and it is used in many areas of our applications.

Here are three examples of how Dimitra uses AI and machine learning:

Deforestation - we assess satellite images to differentiate between trees, crops, forested areas and clear cut areas. Machine learning is trained to understand the difference between what is on the ground. Some land looks the same from a satellite and we need to train the AI to understand texture, color, reflectivity, etc.. and understand what it is actually seeing.

Crop performance - we use spectral analysis and radar based analysis from the satellite to provide us readings on the ground. This data is combined with weather, planting, soil data, known agronomy parameters and a combination of statistical analysis and artificial intelligence is used to make recommendations to maximize the performance of each crop. These models are built for each crop and each combination of soil, terrain, weather, irrigation and known soil data. Machine learning is used to compare data sets across the world and align those recommendations based on regional differences.

Animal productivity - many environmental, management and hereditary factors affect the performance of cow. Machine learning combined with statistical analysis helps analyze and provide probabilities of what traits may be passed on, how mating one animal to another produces a prediction of performance. Mom donates 50% of her genes, Dad donates 50% of his genes. Nutrition, weather, water, disease, temperature, care, stress all play a factor. We group the animals based on conditions to make these predictions.

Here is a great feature about our work in AI that CIO review did last year and featured us as one of the top 20 AI companies to watch in the future

這是一個很好的問題--謝謝你的這個好問題，首先請看一下我們新的以人工智能為重點的DMTR標志。

我們喜歡這個標志，希望你也喜歡。人工智能無疑是這些天的一個熱門話題，它被用於我們應用的許多領域。

這裏有三個例子說明Dimitra如何使用人工智能和機器學習。

Deforestation--我們評估衛星圖像，以區分樹木、農作物、林區和空曠地帶。機器學習被訓練來理解地面上的東西之間的區別。有些土地從衛星上看是一樣的，我們需要訓練人工智能來理解紋理、顏色、反射率等，並理解它實際看到的東西。

作物性能--我們使用來自衛星的光譜分析和基於雷達的分析，為我們提供地面上的讀數。這些數據與天氣、種植、土壤數據、已知的農藝參數相結合，並結合統計分析和人工智能來提出建議，以使每種作物的性能最大化。這些模型是為每種作物以及土壤、地形、天氣、灌溉和已知土壤數據的每種組合建立的。機器學習被用來比較世界各地的數據集，並根據地區差異調整這些建議。

動物生產力--許多環境、管理和遺傳因素影響着奶牛的表現。機器學習與統計分析相結合，有助於分析並提供哪些性狀可能會被傳遞的概率，一個動物與另一個動物交配如何產生性能的預測。媽媽捐出了她50%的基因，爸爸捐出了他50%的基因。營養、天氣、水、疾病、溫度、護理、壓力都是一個因素。我們根據條件對動物進行分組，以進行這些預測。

這裏有一個關於我們在人工智能方面工作的偉大專題，CIO review去年做了這個專題，並把我們作為未來值得關注的20家人工智能公司之一

Q11

主持人：作為第一個或許是唯一一個區塊鏈農業項目，Dimitra的愿景是什么？這裏面有些什么故事嗎？

As the first farm and probably the only project that is solving agricultural issues, what is your vision and what’s the story behind it?

Jon Trask：I realized many years ago while working on international supply chain projects and when I was contracted to build an identity system for an African nation that there was a huge need and opportunity in developing nations for agtech and that the people who needed agtech the most did not have it. That’s where Dimitra started and as we spoke to more and more governments around the world on their agricultural pain points and what they wanted to achieve we started building Dimitra’s platforms and what you see today is the culmination of all of that feedback. As new use cases emerge such as Dimitra DEFI loans for farmers, and Dimitra DEFI insurance for farmers we will keep building.

Thank you for having me here today and I hope this was informative for your community.

多年前，我在從事國際供應鏈項目時意識到，當我受僱為一個非洲國家建立一個身份識別系統時，發展中國家對農業技術有巨大的需求和機會，而那些最需要農業技術的人卻沒有。這就是Dimitra开始的地方，隨着我們與世界各地越來越多的政府討論他們的農業痛點和他們想要實現的目標，我們开始建立Dimitra的平臺，你今天看到的是所有這些反饋的高潮。隨着新的用例的出現，如Dimitra DEFI農民貸款和Dimitra DEFI農民保險，我們將繼續建設。

感謝你們今天邀請我來到這裏，我希望這對你們的社區來說是有意義的。

感謝Jon Trask來到追風社，祝愿未來的Dimitra更加強大！

本次 AMA 由追風社、Dimitra聯合舉辦，感謝各位支持、關注，我們下期再見。
