should tend to shape tomorrow. join us and register now for the d. w global media for in 2020 for the when it comes to solving environmental problems on changing behaviors, it's vital to get the younger generation on boards. the best way to do that is to be climate action fund. welcome to eco africa. i'm chris olives. coming to you from lee goes, nigeria. technology has a lot to offer when it comes to talking these issues together with some creative community. best thinking i m sandra holmes, that you'll deal right here in complex uganda. it is great to have you with us

today. here is what we have coming up. how to dummy fund environmental when it's done on panels generating on the balconies. and farmers do the 50 ways to caught funding. it was technology plays a huge role, you know, more than into connected wireless. new tools makes things easier. and 5th time, of course, money in funding to technology can help farmers improve you find diseases and reduce and wanted impulse, some local equal systems. you couldn't even play a role in getting young people into funding. these drills is preparing the food ca for planting these. the aerial spring takes just one hour without this. hi, take us to spend. the joke will take for people several ways. it is the 1st time

that's from on the line the dea has used the 8 i supported drawing, the hopes it will have the positive effect on these yields. i'll stop plowing. we use our, my facts for spring all over allies is outside this. we as finish the job, you see patches that the why do you call it? they're asked free or the company called loons by technology as the means i open, i must law smart, a wits for precision solutions. the company is a, i support the drones as to the risk site here in kinda high tech solutions like these are only gradually gets in of the ground here, even though they can see farm is both time and money in much know really farmers think of the prince's knowing that it flies in that, but it's a bit of a low climate where farm is embracing it. we're having difficult

times explaining to find this. doing the most painful farm is you know, the for them to adopt the system. they are from planes, districts in the east of the country is a key. other quotes for our region means is the main cro p a and one of the country's most important fort stubs cannot produce days more than 3000000 tons of means a year. but expects fee a, that's a number of threats, quotes do apologize, the countries for supply long time through the look i'm gonna and the some reason of the prison key to leave this person is wound population as well that i meant to suffer to come in diameter and again, as carpets. electra check experts, i experimenting with a deficiency and kind of james to develop ways to come back to the fix of climate

change on findings with the supports of the gym and development agency. g, a is a dining team, a google has developed a program that's usually is a drawing to money to develop things on cash you plantations. even if you have a moderate size from, is it a manually trying to walk into to see the cashier tree that we have standing right in front of you can see anything that is going to box your heights to defend that expansion. and you guys see what is happening on top, seemed as some disease that is spread out from the top. you will come in and talk every day and you wouldn't know. but if you're using a drawing we can pinpoint it and let you know that there's 3 dice right behind s. as in feste, it literally takes images of the trees. and visa they analyzed by the i stuff the way kind of the i, the program recognizes immediately which plans are diseased and away from. i can then react quickly before the disease spreads and causes major damage,

not to the system as it rings decrease or the locations based on the volume of diseases impressed. because you don't want to go after every sign of disease and pass on nutrition that is showing up from the whole point of this and the detection and the detection of disease. and as you know, would for it to sprint and destroyed down many things, because it's any into your virus practices to get tablets. and then you end up saving you a yield. and technology can offer other benefits. offered quinn is one of precision solutions go found is the tech uses are to officially set of james to money to have planned scrubs farm is going to access the data themselves. they no longer have to get an expert in which is too costly for many of them to take pictures of the way. and they were able to come in there in the

station 2 months with at least one of the businesses street in 2023. the west african configuration eckel was launched, a full resilience program to strengthen for security in the region. that program aims to reach more than 300000 fundraising kind of low on its wants to encourage the use of technology including a i to improve have is i did quote you on needs to become more efficient and effective. you know that to provide for an ever growing population. find me on the line, the already on board to these sites in that's with the help of the new technology. his next half is only successful. especially intelligence company do a lot, but we don't always need high take to make

a difference. we had notice in baldwin as much as 40 percent of small skilled button and a phone was produced. can get phone away because it can't be sold. the one k 2 i'm going to me is come up with an idea to mix something out of it instead of phenomena. is there a key cross? so many pharmacy. it ends in both ways. monica land prevents but the non is, can be tricky. they don't store well, they suffered during transportation, and sometimes they simply remain on so that's why around decide if the harvest frequently ends up as waste. right. and is on the has to heck test has been on the pounds. he found the high lift is frustrating. companies, they tech based grades, the grades in the farmers where they may with this in grade and that rejects. so

with that ongoing process, we id like that you're losing a lot of fun of us. so he said it's to me to be finding ways to mitigate those, those losses and how best we can do that. that's when a, an ideal for presenting by last came, after all, the unsolved been on as a still a valuable source of nutrition, even when they're in a different form. the economist found that a company, no folks brands, these now processes the unassailable, been honest for more than 40 local, small scale phones. the been on as a cutting to small pieces on the slices and then push into solar powered drain cabinets until this for the drying. the production process is client friendly. that's important for brightness on the because he and his name was already feeling the effects of climate change. the region is getting hotter and dry and that's

impacting office. it's a proportion of the bananas, a ground into flour, then packaged and sold. the company also makes fruit snacks from dried pin on the skins. the brightness of the local farmers can now and money on that whole yields with it that but known as the perfect o notes. and now from the nose to not, she announced nor list. these will receive a useful use. she a butter, but he's used in moisturize, is i have a cost a women's quantity permit the ships from unsustainable treat back visiting with using dynamic. she does ride sandra, and these women initiative benefits not only individuals, but also the wider community and the local environments. these women know that if you stick together you can do one,

does a quick check to ensure they have enough provisions. then these members of a women's cooperative set off when a 15 came over to johnny, bit to rein in these parts of 5, re, quote can be quite rough, especially during reading seasons. but even swollen, 3 of us can stop the women upon arrivals. they collect nuts from sheer trees, which build time into she about to. it is used in cooking on cosmetics and sold off the top on the walls market. but the women find scenes of devastation to, even though this is a protected forest from us, of cut down fees to plot fields, or strip them to sell the book. in traditional medicine, she, a buck is used to treat malaria and stomach. it's what we thought about the trees right out and die. many of these women one slow t bucks too,

but now she and that's provide them with the more environmentally friendly pulse of income, a part of the year. so we had our knuckles since we joined the cooperative, we've completely stopped cutting far. and we used to cut a lot. i think sometimes we even heard ourselves while removing a board and without their bar, patrice done or viewed. so now we do everything we can to protect the tree. yes, 5 to 4 keys in 2021. a sent that to process she and that's a set top in the village of what the room i do a lot. so some $200.00 women walk here in a cooperative called non costs will mean, well, we stick together. the co operative us truck, a purchase agreement to the gun, a best company, but the aims to empower women in this region. as it is obvious, these on the women got the invite as many lots as they come later and cook them to nick, she about the

culprit, the buzz being of gunning, satisfied it's processing facility costs around 60000 euros. most of which came from the international donors, including the e u. the popular from savannah food company as a regional office to handle the corporate team, she about to international sales and going well thanks to the she a bought as a gun excited vacation. centralizing, production on one side was key to the process, and i've been shooting them on the fun. the women used to bring their shame bounce back from the bush and store them in a corner in their houses. it was usually the place where they stored chemical fertilizers for their fields or were children would play or for the women also process the notes at home or see amazing, but the quality suffered to that there was too much contamination when they tried to do it all at home, and it was simple for the company, nice strong guys who came to south to sign amazing. besides the high international demand for organic, she a bought to here in the regional center of the cutoff. there is to

a brisk tread into the buck and roots using traditional magazine. at least 2 big truckloads leave here each week. bound for ivory costs, financial copy told me not to what tara used to. so t bucky and was often away from her funding for the long periods of time. now that she is a member of the women's cooperative that's no longer necessary. she can also afford to buy better food for her family and invest in fish lab. yeah. and you know, i, we come here every wednesday when it's market day. i think the color. yeah. before we never had enough money. i don't know, but now it's best to pass on. if i was able to buy 2 crates of fish, i think that i can re sell in the village a lot of go on last week. i, you're not a problem like that. as you're in the project, we receive 10000 francs and i use them to buy vegetables. i'm a, i got lots of that, so it'll not know that the extra food is a welcome contribution. not to what type of assessment the lead gross human caution,

not. he's otherwise also walk, seem to call productive on since both women now and more money that lives respect has gone on. i've gotten given by my wife helped me by a sheep for debowski. i faced the sacrifice 4 years ago and they contributed to the purchase of some capital that do what i do. my wife's of also really helped me to pay for school fees. so i recognize the value of the co op and of the final. the women are gaining influence in other areas. they often come across fields of fields and culture, not see legally planted by local men in the collecting zones. now the supervisor, n g o, as i look at them uh, frontiers square kilometer area which is off limits to anyone, but the corporate to the frontier guy lives in the women who own the living gathering. shane us in this area won't allow their husbands or any other people to

come in here. i'm trying chrome just to say, do web posting, if they've got to me to i'll plan is to certify the largest possible area as a bio diversity zone. nothing's only business, it's allowed that will help us to more effectively protect this land and enable it's restoration to pull up and my provider. so what i call you to the shade trees bring us respect and in return we protect them. now the villages respect us and value our work, it's walk that not only protects the forest, but also helps women and their families. proof that environmental protection can benefit everyone. and there are incentives when it comes to generate and climate friendly paul to sell about is that can be sold. the balconies and terraces are getting popularity across the euro. but i did really good for the environment and that they was the bestbuy. we'd go to gym the to find out

a solar power for your own household. that's the promise of so called the balcony. so the plants tow mendelian form a sales manager, coating of the land is just about to have one installed into account. wait for me central time. i'm so excited. and yeah, it's been 2 years since i 1st started thinking about getting a system up and running the football from the balcony. solar plants like just like photovoltaic systems on a roof. but on a much smaller scale, that can be set up on a terrace attached to a balcony railing, or in front of it like here with simple brackets engineer who but the push has installed about a 100 of them and then it becomes without another mistake. typically, a balcony system consists of one or 2 solar modules, so that all of these modules contain christos, that converts sunlight into direct current, or d. c. suddenly supposed to of clift, direct insights, pulled on monday. when difficulties to this inverter then turns the dc into

a safe pool, which is the type of electrical current used in household in on next us pull the most us, then i simply insert this ground, it plugged into the socket was taken and the power is fed into my household pool, and that's how i can use my solar system to run a mixer or a cable in cohen i need to consume, have balcony generated power fast. any access is fed into the public grid. the system is a money saver according to x, but a germany's federal network agency, the model holds, hired an average household with a comparatively large, well positioned balcony system in a sunny spot facing south mich touch, talked to can generate 15 percent of its electricity consumption using the balcony system off watching the current never come on target. that's like an appealing prospect. some full 100000 households operate balcony systems across gemini, but types of us, but the, the real number is double that. although there's a fine,

many people on the boulder to register the balcony system, the switch are gaining popularity across europe. critics argue the panels are unsightly and unsuitables of buildings with land box status. they can damage a facade or even pose of safety hazard. windows installed properly, 40 kilometers from berlin, locals behind a push for shift to renewable energy saver. these the centralized systems specialist as well. that helps the advantages that you don't need to be a homeowner with your own launch, rooftop phillips, solar panels. you can use solar energy produced on a small balcony, and berlin, oliver long used to research solar cells as a physicist. today he sells balcony systems. most models are produced in china. he says, cheapest costs around 150 years. for consumers, that's investment in payoff quickie moment. currently, if you do the assembly yourself don't choose expensive brackets, an up for the cheapest balcony power plant model. so one of the try these models,

which are definitely reliable products that will last on several years ago. and if you're also at home a lot so, so that you can make use of the power immediately. then in 3 to 4 years, the system will have paid for itself and the privacy on multi field. but does the environment profit to after of all, and it takes a lot of energy to produce those that will take panels. but it's worth it because they have us as much energy within the space of 2 years as the combined power needed to produce transport and eventually dispose of the systems. of course, panel the size do not have a sweeping impact on germany's overall power use. first and foremost, balcony helps on. so i have that openness going as happy to be making a small contribution to the shift to renewables. lights that she will show of her own new power plants to curious naples. now all she needs is the sun to come out

it is so important to feel we have, i just see and can do something approximately to help us climb it. it is very common to worry about it. and that can lead to a sense of helplessness. and even these engagement does ride sandra. but if we went to learn about the problems facing us, more playfully, what might be more motivated? because what doesn't love playing games? i did spy it on, on track here, and while here in lagos, the aim is to p up waste and separated before the green months to get to you. siblings to light and dominion are testing a new game that can i can dallas, if i leave for school. so of the game is just when you play. yeah. fear. so the leading the police outgoing 60 says yakking, it's, as you are going acting,

you have to avoid the most of that the call me use at some point z. most of it's difficult as soon as you go to the increase, the boys who just tried to avoid the more size decimal point. it's all about learning to protect the environment in a fun way. the games develop a grease. james lives in legals, a city where a waste disposal is a major problem. why do you look on my background here? you can see that people are continuously pallets in the environment the to the, to the plastic touch andrew, i just left my game green quest to play out. use tax with a particular request to clean up the environment. the grant class. i was i to be broke out of my passion to up to be see how community, what made i'm female boys and girls. old people watch me and young people can contribute to what sustainability in a way that is interactive and logically for them. she and her team has been 2 years

developing the game, pitched its young people 87215. the main task in the early levels is to dispose of waste correctly. then the focus, just to recycling and using renewable energy is to stop climate change. the game central character is a young woman in the game itself. doesn't mean cox or honey muse, a nicole. and that is actually a tribal name, phone called the states is actually, or jo nicole, i try to make it very, really table. um, um, because i feel like this is one of the best ways as well to tell in teaching our stories and preserve culture, right? the game is still in the test space. cruise streams visit schools to present it is also a board game version for those who don't have a computer. the main thing is that it's learning through play or why don't inspired me to educate the. a children,

the younger generation through gaming is i wish i had this opportunity in my own private school. i wish people could actually do this for me. and i discovered that i could learn more from days. and i just decided to give that to my community because it would have been really nice to have this my own time. environmental protection and climate awareness on not part of the school curriculum in nigeria, climate activist, alameda or dual. and it's all going to zation or campaigning to change that way. you look at the kind of government that we have now. it's only the problem to integrate live is a problem. we continue to when you have a government that is very no response to climate change each. each of the more floss dot team ok, that's, you know, when you want to develop that curriculum or you want to add something to curriculum . it takes the 1st thing that makes projects and keeps like green quest. all the

more important they make children aware of environmental issues and show them what they can do to help solve them pretending i am very sci fi. i've played with this. i realized that if i switch slash and i would disclose these as nickel deep insights using gaming as a way of talking time. a change is a new approach. it's a strategy, says greece change with a lot of potential. if we don't actually start to take quite a shift f thoughts, a lot of things are going to impact those beyond human beings, even our echo system. the animals are trees the balance of the environment as a whole. so, and that's one of the reasons why we actually do advocacy programs because we, it's not just about playing games, right. but we found a way to make it so simple. i'm putting in some of the game. so it's a move meant. generally, i will see that it has very switch potential to actually change the mindset of how

future generations see systematically, team. so climate change is and so grease james is competing for environmental protection to be included in the curriculum, and hoping how game will be part of it. oh, wow, that does look and lots of fun. i can't wait to take it out. so many good ideas to take with us today. we hope you phone dot 2. i m sandra holmes, that we nobody will sign and go from complex right here in uganda. and i'm chris alone. say nigeria, thanks for joining us. and to check out eco offered go online for more inspiring stories or right to us at eco, a. d, w dot com. see you all again. next week the
