Introduction
The DMSF was born through the Datamars company’s deep experience in, and respect for agricultural communities and the critical role they play in providing food security for our planet.
For decades, Datamars team members have worked alongside farmers and producers around the world, understanding their daily work, the challenges their operations and livelihoods face, and the care and innovation they bring to the management of their land and animals.
Datamars’ agri-technology solutions are anchored in the knowledge that healthy land and healthy animals drive productivity and long-term sustainability in all respects.
Datamars is well placed to make a unique and measurable difference.
Datamars is proud to sponsor this independent, charitable Foundation to expand on its commitment.
Our approach: the DMSF framework
In order to feed the planet in a sustainable way, we need greater uptake of practical solutions that solve real problems – solutions that positively impact food production at a global scale. Our clear focus and project selection is shaped by three foundational pillars:

understanding and on farm
adoption of new technologies and
practices.

- Assist with funding and incentives farmers to adopt regenerative agriculture
Collaboration &
Transparency
Facilitate knowledge sharing,
problem solving and partnerships
across the value chain.
- Create platform of resources
- Provide forums for key stakeholders to meet and discuss identified barriers
- Bring academia and policy owners together with agriculture and industry leaders to discuss overcoming barriers / incentive alignment
- Generate roadmaps for different phases of development that apply to different communities.
