The Social AgTech Newsletter June

Welcome back to The Social AgTech Newsletter by dmtr! We’re excited to continue our shared journey toward a future where food security is a global reality, and innovation in agriculture and technology leads the way. Whether you’re deeply involved in tackling global hunger, curious about how you can make a difference, or looking to keep up with cutting-edge solutions in ag-tech, this newsletter is your gateway to the latest developments and impactful stories.

Each issue brings a carefully curated selection of news, insights, and on-the-ground stories that spotlight both groundbreaking technologies and transformative initiatives. We aim not only to inform but also to inspire you with tales of real-world change that are shaping communities around the globe.

In this edition, we build on our previous discussions by diving into the challenges and opportunities presented by modern agricultural technologies and sustainable practices. We also offer a sneak peek into the latest episode of The Social AgTech Podcast by dmtr, where we delve into the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and their implications for combating hunger globally. Join us as we continue to explore and promote the powerful role of innovation and collaboration in creating a hunger-free world.
