the assume about the sounds of power and inspiring story about the volume music under the swastika stops may 25th on dw, the almost responsibilities to feed over 8000000 people across the globe. and in an ever changing was, this is not an easy task. hello. and welcome, i'm sorry, we've got the body and you all watching equally into the matters between deck and tradition is what follows need across the group that shows us ways to deal with the new challenges in a world where everything is changing, the environment, whether back to him then even economies, why traditional knowledge and varieties show us how to withstand these challenges.

and speaking of modern advert deck, let's head to the northern states. so how do i know where a tech solution is really helping the farm was? drones are now monitoring blonde growth and also detecting diseases and best investigations. these drones have made the application of fertilizers and pesticides far more efficient. why also protecting the soil health formulas onto keeping economic benefits, but here in this case, this technology also has a social impact. more ne, is the only lead agent and how do you on the state? and it's what i'm the cut on. it's hard day's begin early, so she can finish hotel was in the morning and then she had still cosmetic store that she runs, which also doubles up as the village drones into or because the only woman in the district was authorized to fly a drone. the village has not called her drawn d b, a drawing system. so you said this happened because of

a self help group because i'm the guy is one of more than 10000 women across google india who are being cleaned as drone pilots for the funding sector. the central government initiative was launched in march 2024. the program is being held as evolutionary and women at the forefront. today i'm because visiting a we team where day which labor does normally carry out the tasks that her drone will take off of. these can include monitoring fields, spring pesticides, and sometimes sewing seeds. she charges up to $200.00 rupees or the equivalent of 3 rows per eco. the bottom, it's very difficult to work in the mountains. i have 4 and a half acres of farmland and it's stuff for even 2 people to manage this spring. to get the board meeting, we're talking about they pretty much completely reading this book to slot with on

because today to test the drawing for spring pesticides, since the program is still in the pilot phase, the services being offered to anyone who might be interested in trying it out i have 4 and a half acres of sweetness. how much time will it take? the one echo will take 15 to 20 minutes to spray. just say i got homeless because it's all based on the size of the font. it would take 90 minutes for all 4 and a half acres for beautiful. if we had done it manually, it would have taken and dialed the order and take it off. well, i would have last 5 or 6 hours, we opened up the pick up the the one is only looking at upon checking base and before the a guarantee, the cost of training floodlights, those and drones are being covered by some of the largest foot laser manufacturers in the country, not everybody's happy with the development. including professional winode, camacho,

the evening funds job university. he believes a program to increase the dependency on chemicals in the region, which is harmful for the land and its people consolidate tamales. so you'd have sort of these drones will mostly be used to speak best of slides and fungus slides, which a harmful devote goals. earlier when finals use attract the or the dunk for spring, they could spray under the planet. but drones would cover the entire area from above, so they missed the best that tend to be hiding under the leaves. that means of john, so best would be eliminated, will decrease and the use of pesticides will continue to increase the model. but then if you decrease the amount of chemicals level, they would suddenly be an explosion of the best population. or i don't think i'm going to get if i, well, for the population barometer. according to dr. child, see the increase dependency on chemical fertilizers and pesticides. would inevitably work against the interests of the farmers. legend anything more profits for manufacturing companies slowly kinda so gradually farmers those realize the

overall costs design increasing but so there's very little chance of something like this benefiting the from us in the long run. so but the, the only beneficiaries would be the companies. so for, for me it would have been better if drones, we used to spray organic flow to life of organic floodlights, of good head fair use the environmental and health impact. but there are still open questions. who would pay for those floodlights of would that be enough for all the families who need them? in any case, the drawing program has already had some positive social impact, of course to somebody who may i hope that some people in society look negatively other woman. if she steps outside of a whole stack of nevada, they don't even care what kind of work she's doing. never gone. but since i've received a drawing, the negative attitude of people has done much more positive to me, but then it wouldn't be worth it. yeah, he yeah, let's see,

it says have groups like these plans to train more women and help and follow them if the impact on health the environment and on georgia is addressed. this program could be a huge support of the people who do the hard work. a funding in india, a lot of our problems are no thoughts digitally from teachers and talk to us. we've been yoga instructors. a lot of them are available online. what does almost to do the same with the issues that they faced on the fields and with the crops. you know, the gradient economy like india, which has all, would it 20000000 active internet use us hoffer phone are from google. it is, this could be a great idea, a if appliance in the field looks unhealthy, these farms pull out the phones, take a picture, and find out right away whether the plant is diseased. the app i don't know is,

is the photo and is needed, provides help with treatment plan fix it can't. it's just like a crop doctor i it plays the same role in my life as my personal doctor does. all you'd identifies chronic diseases and suggest treatment and prescribed medicine and treatment options. when the medicine billy sleep on taking a smart phone into the field alongside her and shovel has become part of everyday life. the indian farm is the potential of digital tools in agriculture in india is huge. almost half of the population works and the agricultural sector it's very difficult for people to correctly identify disease with the naked eye. the up can do this within seconds, directly in the field. but how exactly does it work? the quote that you will not be including the, using the app is very easy when you 1st opened plastics on your android phone. next, you have to take a picture. we are taking pictures particularly after snap in the photo. it

needs to be uploaded to the app 1st identifies the crap football upload i a valid corrupted signal that this data is then processed in germany by planting, which is part of the home pharmaceutical company. the phone just started out as students at the university of honda is a experimenting with tomatoes. this would then be central a service analyzed by the bureau network as we, as it does is called. so it's basically a model that 6 a did unique finger print off a certain disease or past and would then return the results circle drawn. doctors help the image data base to categorize pictures that it doesn't know. this is how the a lunch so that it can lights and make recommendations. symptoms by entering news, there's the symptoms to diagnose the disease. there's a yellowing of the leaves starting at the margins. the i'm says that there is no

disease, but a potassium deficiency around a 1000000 farm is already use. the plant takes up almost exclusively in india. the apps image database contains 35000000 pictures of different plant diseases, ensuring an accurate diagnosis. and you know, 700 different crop problems on 30 different crops, potentially not because it's just too much to, to know. and it's also some kind of diagnostic that's tough for human to do. if a disease is detected, the app recommends the relevant tests assigned to uses and shows where it can be purchase. but local retailers don't always have all the products in store which can lead to farm is buying the wrong items or even fakes. this has consequences. we estimate that roughly half of all the product sold didn't go, and probably also in other countries in the world are not suited to treat to profit

. we've tried to make 1st of all the prescription, correct, and secondly, have farmers to buy products that are from where reputed organizations, where we know that the, the, the, these are really good. how to the products farmers report best to harvest since using context foundation. there was a fast reluctant to trust a guy which is livelihood just to the bottom as i can advise gilbert. i didn't trust the app in the earlier months, but later when i started taking pictures of the diseased crops for the smart features of suggesting the right treatment, made me feel more confident. let's go for the, for the one of them. what today is mid. this is going to say, hey, i would replace palm is know how and experience any time soon. instead, artificial intelligence is a supplement that makes working in the fields just a little bit easier than technology or as it goes to the

policy. farmers need all the support that they can get in into f almost have been broadcasting for weeks. why not show the main reason is is rapidly declining profits and not just in the fall most across yarborough pub in front testing is what the government's agree. policies need to align with the needs of form us because as a former, gone to operate sustainability and profitably, then our economies and our kitchens are both packed and farmers are furious. the farmers have been demonstrating all of the content from portugal to live via to romania, to from the know of them. there are so many specific rules, and in the end, we can no longer produce at low price of on say people do you about people who don't think farming is a passion and we want to be able to make a living. some issues are more localized in france and germany. the dentist have focused on the reduction of diesel subsidies. farmers in greece are still reeling

from floods in 2023 and are also demanding foster compensation for damage from natural disasters in hungary and poland. farmers complained about imports of cheap grain from ukraine, since russia's invasion use waved terrace on a ukrainian grain and produced as a measure of support after russia block to major ukraine ports in the black sea. but whether it's diesel subsidies for damages or green imports, there's a common thread running through all the protests. farmers feel left alone and overlooked by their government. and if you look at a cold hard numbers, this might well be true. it's just a fact that over time agriculture tends to shrink relative to other sectors of the economy, stuff on some common top it out as an economist whose research analyzes agricultural policies. he's been a consultant to the world bank and several national governments. this is because g d, p growth becomes more and more concentrated on industrial goods and especially services . overtime european farms are dying out, decreasing by roughly a 3rd since 2005. so 8700000 people worked in european agriculture in 2020 and that

doesn't include the seasonal workers who often labor under precarious conditions in europe in the us. the farming population has shown elevated suicide rates, being a farmers not only having the job as a file, but really are giving, giving all and most of the fund maya has a, as an agricultural economist who researches the social side of sustainable food systems. farmers, suicide rates in india, the world's most populous nation, are dire. in 2022, at least 30 farmers took their own lives every day. and we can look again to the shrinking roles oper, culture, here. the lead has spring significance, you know, reduce one leader on the importing 15 percent of the, the countries versus jobs and agricultural economists to india as institute for economic growth purchasers gathering in the breadbasket northern instead of punjab, once a government to guarantee a minimum price for all their cost, so whether it's india or europe farmer, you're struggling or losing relevance in our economic system. and it shows the ways

in which the system is stacked against on the well across the value chain is not distributed enough. fairly meant not even even not as the political secretary of a federation, the advocates for european farmers and farm workers for the day. and that's in the 4th manufacturers. a good thing, like the biggest share off the volume, which is produced in the marketing for some sector and bottom of some sort of on what goods which are like in the bottom of the book, this probably would change in europe. there's a pretty easy target for all that pent up in newer that you commission and brussels . the payments are calculated based solely on how big the farm is. the link itself, the subsidies to the phone land is one of the biggest problems because it gives the favor to the ways of production definitely want to change. this means the policy of rewards industrial farms which tend to be mon, or cultural corporations. most european funds are small, however,

2 thirds of less than 5 hector's and almost all of those are family funds within aging populations. as of all that weren't complex enough already, under climate goals, your, it has lofty plans to become the 1st comment, neutral con, by 2050. agriculture is responsible for more than 10 percent of total e greenhouse gas emissions relative to the size or the overall economic importance of the sector. it produces disproportionately a large share of greenhouse gases. so what are the european commission to make a green deal along with the firm to forks, strategy within a this policy tries to make fruit systems more sustainable. and this is where we start running into tensions. farmers of revolted against greenville policies like phasing our diesel subsidies, reducing fertilizer and pesticide use, and setting aside land for bio diversity. they say the rules don't compensate them for the income loss, and that farmers are taken to bigger share of the responsibility. so it, was there something about all of this the just isn't working

a lot. the problem with the policy is that it is a bit gets a frantic. um, if it's meant to be income support, then you think, you know, we should be targeting smaller firms with low income, more and not the big farms. the question is whether it's really designed to be income support in the 1st place because of the purpose of the policy is for environmental welfare. well then, big firm should be getting more payments because a big farm is affecting the environment on a much larger number of factors. so the main problem, at least from my perspective as, as a policy analysis, is that, that the policy is not certainly clear what the main priority is. you're trying to pursue to different goals with one policy and with one tool. and that's not really effective. so far the european commission has back peddled on some of its policies because of the protests for instruct its fuel subsidy cost and the scrap the plan to reduce pesticides. as for ukraine,

the european commission will extend its transport to until 2025, but other than measure to prevent too many ukrainian products being sold in the states. but all of this might just be popping painkillers for long term solutions. a bigger shift in policy would be needed to help farmers and address climate change . one solution could be to focus the policies around the environmental aspects of a feed system, not subsidies. income support is in the european union, a national policy priority. the social policies or national priorities that shouldn't be coming from brussels. it would then be up to the individual member states to support their farmers. they would have more flexibility in shaping their subsidies, which could support smaller farms and create incentives and financial support for more ecological practices. changing the food system, of course, and pates me, you the consumer breakdown the you, the environmental costs simply isn't priced enough into our purchases. raising those prices would be necessary. and in turn, change or consumption habits, for farmers in india, price controls look necessary,

given that roughly 50 percent of the countries workforce as an agriculture and the long run need to differentiate the but uh, most of the deep from government. zooming out, maybe a healthy dose of reality is needed and thinking about climate change and the struggles of agriculture. agriculture is a sector that's probably never going to be completely climate neutral. that's the, you know, but the nature of things that said, we're talking about food, which is a necessity at the end of the day. farmers are the ones providing our food, their anchors understandable. that can a, i have really made things simpler for farmers in many ways. but tech can not predict or control everything like some of the logical events, including what can it get options that can have a major negative impact on agriculture. let's take a journey back. 200 years to a while you can, or that's to fascinate scientists, or what you can, which is surrounded by fuel stables of evil spirits. unlike us. from time to time

the volcano, we mix large plumes of steam and is still monitored to daytime. for on the indonesian island of some of our may be largely quiet, but in the year 1815 it's a russian was so powerful. it was heard 2000 kilometers away. the rupture of 1815 deposited millions of cubic meters. volcanic material on some of our island to him by law. i'm going to say it's believed 90. 2000 people died and all 40000 straight away. but what would be the, the, that it and it's, it, the day we have these beautiful scenery with the money. and we can see what happened in a 1015 here. i find nothing about them, but to be a rupture and was the most powerful in recorded history and event with dramatic

consequences. worldwide climate data confirms that global temperatures cooled by one to 2 degrees with the sunlight blocked out by particles released into the at the i came by. yeah. so the by 100 and those aerosols have a cooling effect on the earth. done by now, crops fail thing, i mean that many animals can't find enough food. and so what are we going to say about that? just to be back near to see the energy released was equivalent to 6 and a half a 1000000 times. that of the bonds dropped on hiroshima a disaster from many agrarian societies of the time. in parts of asia, the monsoon rings were disrupted leading to drought. while in europe, the cold and rain destroyed prompts and caused widespread salmon. disease and economic turmoil. the crisis made its mark on artists and right. it's believed to

have inspired mary shelley's novel frankenstein paintings like this one by german artists aspect of a treat which captured the striking skies and the glue that shrouded the are the unprecedented catastrophe. fuel create to 50 across the continent. indonesia is situated on the pacific ring of fire, mountain bora, on some of our is just one of more than a 100 active volcanoes. there. this called debra, is also a legacy of the 1815, a rupture. today the area around mount temple right is a national park. it takes 2 days to reach the edge of the crater. for many people in indonesia, volcanoes have spiritual significance. sweet spot, miss timely filing a witness that 1st half 1847. take time to 10 flora and penned the depiction of the rupture, and of the year 1815. in this pamphlet,

he described local people warrant him against climbing the volcano. wherever you set foot fire a reps from the ground people spirits inhabit the mountains and those who want only to ascend in that region of kelly spear it's are faded to suffer. storms, tempest and certain perdition. the i've been yeah. the word come bora comes from the word and bora. bora means to disappear in indonesian who lives with that time. front of a, as in tom bora, it means inviting them to disappear. to me, i think on one that led to disappear into my team on the line and get the a nowadays people know a lot more about the rupture of the volcano than they did backs in geologist, climate, scientists and even social scientists are all interested in the global effects of that huge natural disaster in europe. it led to a year without summer. and that's essentially a rupture and cut 10 boar in half the battery,

but not but at the number of elkin ologist believe or subscribe to the theory that the summit of mountain bore. i'm authorized. 4000 meters above sea level one met the battery, but i'm not allowed. and because of the $1015.00 a rupture, and it was essentially cutting the half ago and what remains is only 2800 meters above the sea level. what about this? so again, my thought of that one more time allows the night sky on our ascent was peaceful. nothing like the evening of april 5th, 1815. when the 1st pillar of fire of ruminate the night, the inferno lasted 7 days. mountain boar is what is called a strato volcano. it was formed in many geological layers and has a steep, narrow cone. so could interrupt again one day. over the past 20 years,

the region seen many periods of increase seismic activity, small tremors and the ground that these are moving out of 127 active volcanoes in indonesia, almost 80 percent of them are between 70 and 80 percent of them have an observatory station kind of we even have one ball kennel monitored by 3 observatory stations. i'm up. each station has a size mcgrath up, since they have the size of the graphs and binoculars that are, they measured the wind direction and the temperature team. they put out they have their, him a couple of sensors to measure the temperature of humor, rolls and salt, the target list, and so forth. we might also, i thought, is my goodness. but why was the impact of the drug production of $1815.00 so far reaching so, but kind of low the level suddenly a little bit when a volcanic eruption injects action of what the task and gas is into the atmosphere, i've gotten into the stratosphere. so by that all you have in for the for a sol fate aerosols, or which the earth's rotation helps spread around the globe. the bubbles in 18. 47

. when he was telling us, arrived back safely from his ascent. his return was seen as a good omen. it was thought the curse had been lifted and the evil spirits banished . the hope was that the disaster of 1815 would never come again. the celebratory gun fire expectations and singing went on until dawn. but in 1967, there wasn't another erection, it was much smaller though, and didn't have the disastrous global impact that the one a century and a half earlier had. or are there any such solutions that you are seeing around you do let us know you can email also or reach out to me directly on my social media handles. i will see you next week until then take care goodbye. dumbest gosh. the

9 bucks view will tell you, happy that we are back to the story. we have a getting a visa is more difficult than finding gold hosted to you, james, for the, for the future. in the stories and issues that are being discussed across the country. news africa in 30 minutes on d w. it's time for vision range for

sustainability. but also for horsepower the, it's time to the mobo revolution in 90 minutes on dw, the exchange innovation green, the green revolution global. so listen to a whole lot of climate problems. if the care we subscribe to those channels, we've got every friday. subscribe to plan. it's a not just another day. so much is happening all at

once. we take time to understand this is the day i'm in, that's look at current use events, analyzed by experts and critical thinking is weekdays on d, w cost about why does that mean? i think it's like now i'm lisa and the new host of joining us for an exciting exploration and everything in between. the most is a video and audio production by d w. i hope that you will tune in the

this is dw news live from berlin is real, finds the bodies of 3 hostages, taken by him us is really military says 3 were among those killed at a music festival during the october 7th terror attacks. also coming up 8 is arriving in gaza on a new floating peer made by the us military means many more trucks loaded with food will finally reach the people there. but then you in warranty, it's not the end of the hunger crisis. and the most destructive wind storm and for decades, rips through the texas strong leaves much of houston without power. 30 state will take weeks to fix the damage.
