for us and we all need to eat and preserve our beautiful planet, is even possible to do both. yes, using tech and smart farming is our topic on shift. today. there's no future without sustainable funding to help farmers grow more food with less chemicals. there are many stops that use data analysis to examine everything from soil conditions to climate changes to the most efficient ways to use fertilizer. so far, however, this data is not equally accessible to everyone. for instance, when it comes to data from space, satellites are rarely gathering info from sub saharan africa. a canyon start up wants to change this using artificial intelligence. this from uh, from the airy kenya has been working with satellite images to increase his crop, used to support since by us, stop up specializing in eco friendly technology from the capital nairobi. their goal farmers should have access to more data on the soil, the weather,
3:03 am
and future changes to the climates using the data we able to, to create to models of this model. so that help us, you know, to, in this time what is happening at the farm at any point in time for the farm as like marketing when you keep climate change just making it increasingly difficult to tell when to stop slowing. his hopes, slow rest on the data from the software i'm you need which could help him to be more efficient. when you have enough data about the woodland, we have a little event that it is going to come in. the do not last long. it will be shortly . easy lou lou potatoes in those 3 months. but yeah, cool. if it is going to be longer and then you know, we have going to do major of those plans that go for a longer period. i mean, he gave us with a and so it was a so from set to lights in space and analyzes this using
3:04 am
a i. the company is based in nairobi since most satellites. i'm not directed towards gathering data from africa, guessing high quality and reliable data is challenging. i mean, you follow the kid candidates wants to change this. we wanted to make sure that countries in the global sales were also equipped with the same platforms that the global knows have been able to get access to. and if the west of the global nurse, as accelerated as an, as created, the world that we see today will have technology. i'll freak out, hasn't been able to capture that revolution because of the lack of high quality and accessible data. kate kilo's isn't tackling this challenge. alone, she wants to fundamentally change how data is gathered across africa and is thus co operating with academic research institutes. and can you use machine learning to protect the climate, the ultimate fee, which we building that i mean is onto the legacy to the african continent. so we
3:05 am
hoping that as we continue to work with the students and build capacity within the continent, they come and take over and bring that. that's um that mission and the vision a 100 times further. and that's uh, that's what we'll be able to do it today. in less than 5 years, i mean, he has already raised more than $2000000.00. kate cal, it wants to use the sets of light data to improve. i mean, these machine learning system, the data can provide more information on the impact of climate change. and that's help the farmers on the grounds here, small scale farm is especially important to when i see people who say, well, these problem is actually don't have an impact. they have an impact when you put 600 millions of them together that they saved the entire content and that's very powerful and that's why we should care about this on supporting individual farmers
3:06 am
. that's also important. small farms produce around 35 percent of the world's food, despite using just 12 percent of all agricultural land. that means the essential for our nutrition. one project that support small farmers is in northern camera room. the classroom in the north of camera room. and this calls from us use v r headsets to enter virtual fields and learn how to keep the real world cup and plants pest free fit to do for much room based type of training . let's farmers practices new methods or is by being able to try them out. they understand the challenges better and kind of that quote, hold on you, a lender to me. how that was see how the whole he learns how to grow cotton from his parents. now he'd like to try new methods and expand his skills since the v r headset. let's in train on the virtual cotton fields here. he can zoom closer to the plans in order to spots potential pest infestation. that's good,
3:07 am
tom. the plants, another valuable lesson from the costs is that spiders each catch up, your loss can be helpful for pest control. if i'm a big deal, feels like you're inside the video on the fields and kinda observe what's happened . that's the one that's being really helpful for us. for me is some of what we say . there's something in this virtual worlds the farm as also learn how to produce biological pesticide spray by mixing ground mean seats with lots of vegetable oil and a bit of detergents. not only is it more eco friendly and less harmful to humans than chemical pesticides, but it's also much cheaper. all the techniques taught in the are precisely resembled real life situations. the most, if learning is also cheaper than regular training, as there are no costs for transports, and accommodation become a reunion. cutting expos company. so the control also profits from well trained
3:08 am
farmers don't. well, but you can have the right equipment, but without the appropriate training, we won't be able to produce good colton. but then this education helps the farmers to improve the techniques and produce high quality costs. i agree on the bulk of don't in order to be equipped for future challenges and to produce higher a youth on the quote in the fields. more and more farmers in cameroon. once who participates in the virtual training courses from peanut butter to frozen pizza? one product, that's in almost everything is palm oil. it has a great shelf life and can withstand being heated. but it's also very controversial for assessing. come down with full palm or plantations, which threatens animal species, and c a we brief. now that doesn't solve very cool, frankly, does it? but palm or actually requires much less the forest of area been raped seed also it,
3:09 am
it just needs to be sustainable. how can we check with the new app from indonesia? for example, indonesia is by far the largest palm or producer in the world. more than $60000000.00 people here work as pharmacy, oil mill per, rates of trade, us and in the food industry to it's a long supply chain. and so true sustainability, every step needs to be visits. once people buy from switzerland's co founded, quote, to you bought to this sense, he always knew that they consist build the software for the fog. and that order for the, for the 3 that it has to be a holistic end to end system. so it'd be delivered a platform which helps. i'll create input supply, it's farmers and to all take it's the most up to the brands. verifying the data is key to date code to you, but it has registered more than a 120000 small hold up. com website and patients into these your loan at each
3:10 am
farmer has been interviewed by quote 2 of us though. so we have verification that the farm is not in protected forest, not involved in the for the station over the past 10 years. and that they do not exploit children can sit life at home. today, coach eva has become a global company with 800 employees. its mission is to enable and ensure traceability at every stage of production, processing and sales. as more and more companies are looking to making the supply chain small, transparent. often the context starts with some multinational company of brands coming to us. okay, please help us to my power supply chain. that's a concept based tech company diversified. it's portfolio. these days it doesn't just cover palm or supply chains, but also the more than 1000000 producers of over 50 different raw materials from
3:11 am
across the globe. with also signed on there are many apps for capital breed us. farmers can use these to access data on the live stock on their smartphones. did you call also has a chipped function, where they can check directly with veterinary ins to connect people also and let and america where in f helps farmers sell their products by connecting them directly with customers. so they can all to produce straight from the farmers. many farms in columbia are located in remote areas, so transporting produce can be difficult, and small farmers don't have as many options for selling the crops, which makes it harder to own a fair and stable income. usually galindo, and coming over almost once we change this with the platform, see and buckle. when we saw on the product, the values and challenges that is more this gave farmers face it. we started to
3:12 am
develop a solution and dig around solution for the farmers. and i mean, i mean, we think about near sort of planting in which we can make farmers and customers before planting customers can all the produce directly from the pharmacy and can now also choose how many plans should be growing for them. the crops can be delivered to them, but they can also be sold or donated some of the start up isn't stopping as being a direct market. so, 2600 small scale farming families live in columbia and watch them all of the cool would like to see them profit from information and insights available on the platform. we use a i in different areas and then what's important not logistic. we use a platform that use a to do or the deliveries in the various way. and we also use a i to give support to our farmers. i mean, we process the typically 3 months. so
3:13 am
a platform and as our technical support can div information to the farmers, more dates so it can hopefully meet 2 bits of trucks these days see amber, cool, also deliver those to restaurant chains and companies. the aim is to make these small kids more accessible to small scale from us to now is the moment thing to mean technology and really closer because we need to bring opportunities to the feeder too much great new generation working in the cups. 6 it's impressive how many supporters available for farmers these days? in the end there is no plan to be right. so we have to find ways to grow foods and protect our planets by changing our diets, at least a little and supporting these farming projects. each one of us can contribute to
3:14 am
a healthy, a well sustainable future. that's all for me. things and see you next time. the how many platforms can you handle single tenuously without having the feeling that it's just too much you might see me. how much can we do simultaneously? multitasking diesel, modern, because if we do too much, we get it all wrong. we mess things up, risking brain damage. so let's stop this self sabotage,
3:15 am
humans and multitasking watch. now on youtube, v. w documentary. if we speak this term language from control, some country, how do we become different? ours discrete logic. 1000000 people in just a 100 days. my parents because of my family, what killed the i'm on a journey to find. how about the roots of the 19 are to put you on the side against the to see the rhonda. my name is some way to ship where i'm assuming re shaving history. our documentary stops april 6th on dw, the .
