10 years takes want to open your eyes like a movie you cut it you'll keep launch as many as 5 mobile phone apps a day. it's a good time to be living. on the news always believe that mobile phone apps can help. people in the rural areas just as much as dogs in this city most people don't know what system information services but more bells provide that bus from waits to see what it's going to be me and confute in your pockets then i don't see a reason i'm way to be accessible to the gays in the way he has. when you start up company has been going for just a couple of years. these problems with. their team is just had some good news on one of their projects to be likely to be because we've secured some funds by look for one of the arabs who are doing development is fun and gives you the chance
1:39 am
to create it you create something and you see people use it i mean. so just watch and pray from there you can't compare it to going to. the point of the formation of whatever they are unknowable phones are very cheap and therefore the. coverage more than anything else. lord will not change its mark on the infiltrates part of a logical system which is the information services what up to the mic information services what's a simple case who are going to hold leases. back in uganda it's the start of the long reigns for william it's time to plant. somebody and when you can be now a days or. a. to
1:40 am
come out. of this in a sealed to. make it but. so can moon you help william become the farmer he wants to be. a filmmaker tony who helped come up with a life apps idea to new a challenge that he contra fuse is tasked to create a mobile application that can help farmers like william agreed to take 7 days out of his busy schedule to crack it so you can just talk to him to just figure out problems out and see if you can develop a solution for him ok so down to the month you can just.
1:41 am
look it's totally i'm. very accountable but i'm number 20. 5. ok. toss asante ok. so we're good. good for the turn it's ok phone calls on this. you. know you you you always research is customize means normally in nairobi williams you gania is 8 hours wakes you. up and. things that are given. to you and. you.
1:42 am
you know you. really you know you. expect to. win a living to tell people. what they're doing and see if. you are legal. or illegal you. us to work out what's starting with making better use of his 2 acres. then you can design an app to help you. be a little tough to the sun and i don't think when danny ainge is up and up and began nailing. enough rice a bubble to double up the telephone of the suit. him in the limo some new
1:43 am
york to like you know no sections different he says that come assemble to be defined in the b. ditch he is in to be defined be any be defined see says i killing him in again let me mares because this is. going to make bunda. who. are not a double minded man because. now so keep that to someone who. even says internet said ok somehow become a pilot making a scene from you seem. to not. be. now you maggie says and i totally named rick and i said st you're not playing when i'm 80. and. he said yeah when i talk when i was acquired all that all of them one of them. william suffers from the same problems a small scale farmers globally he has no modern water pumps he can't afford
1:44 am
fertilizers and without proper transport he can only still crops locally so williams joined a farmers group to try and pool knowledge and resources to king human the. thing is i mean there. again i'm not going. to be able to link here. with me was if you can. see the bit you assess it and then said. what he said what he said. to him the other night when i said forget the so called send your to tango yet when it come late and live. in it that the fact that really a misery being a group it's barely 2 months old it's a starting point because it's already brought people together so even you developing a solution to that is already a platform and you can use them one of the. first group or
1:45 am
a focus group and also start from hearing problems from other phones as well because now we've had to both really and maybe another families facing a slightly different problem you. city boy will use about a taste of kenyan country cooking with william special he's indigenous kenyan vegetables. emf like to collect like to thank the food before we take it to the sex case. he may turn into. a minus a cuisine but you. know you know you. don't want to have you know you. know your you'll. pick.
1:46 am
your you. next and when used research trip is a visit to you getting a town center he's going to meet william's group of local farmers. who wants to know if other farmers have the same problems as william. and how we can design a mobile phone app to help. find their meaning. because we are. from by. no never mind you think you know this is going to turn to could build a light. lay's attorney imagine a. new chief like me is if i had you met last week to come. systems. you know. when i say my call to pinedale your community to tell me is that i did 2 parties in big to find the
1:47 am
appeal of the meeting. after listening to india and his problems all the challenges he faces and he's doing is harming they're not unique to him other guys in the community also facing more or less the same problems. when you want to research how much the crops william grows could fix so he heads to one of the largest markets in the area. it's only 40 kilometers from williams home but he's never even been here. every turn journey using public transport would cost him $5.00 almost a week's income. so it's william's 1st chance to find out how much the indigenous
1:48 am
vegetables he grows could sell for in the big local markets. you know nothing more i'm not going. to. try to feed. them. in the south suburbs sounds a little bit to get back to the question of the tunnel. in manderson's up our city need something to. sell some good to her said. that is as old as the bananas on the door before winds up on the top of she down there's a whirlpool 82 more dining room no fuckin mckeithen. menow no you didn't when i said not to buy tuna cans city and you know when you're more than when i'm with you when you leave it when you want it when you really want to sign up to pick up someone analytical maccie. pulling resources with
1:49 am
a group could mean lower costs and higher returns for their produce. when you realize this is how a mobile phone app could help looking up from the farm was a bit of snow and then what the market was a lot of ideas to explore in the same area was all the problems become visible from a group level as a group you want to what source you support you see how much of this particular item before you see that name of intelligence reporting it as it will be able to sell his produce and also to what you need to know who to be and how much to better . you know you. you know you only you. know you'll you'll leave you in your view. it's a quick goodbye to william as more use of back to nairobi. his challenge is to design an app that can help william make a better life from farming. it is
1:50 am
a sad story unfortunately. and was see the food prices in a ridiculously high and these guys can sell their produce out i mean for instance you give me an example here into the market we fail untreated ceilings of all farm produce he only sold a 100 killings so the rest will end up protein and becoming compost. it's time for more new to brief his team. and here is the future lenses that he's facing as an indigenous crop of the i also know that sounds of meeting the group that he belongs to these farmers need from push information so we're looking at her
1:51 am
technology. kamin and bridge he's got under so support them to get to the next level so movie these this information about. planting seeds on is a date and then they come they have how much the onion from the farm financial financial planning so the information you need to reach that goal because the team decides to go with a simple text based app why you didn't lose the chance to kind of phones these 4 use you do you can school beat on all smart he says develop technology you develop solutions for technology people use 1004 mission to move from the farm to the market and from the market to the farm and the only way you can do these is through their groups is it to be allowed. seems fire away but they're almost ready to go back to william with their idea for an app. to. say.
1:52 am
you can't do cheesy but to make a living. by i need to give my mind mind you. this. is. the prototype of their life app is ready to show william in person. with them but. he wouldn't that have been. on the road back to william and this time when used joined by jeffrey one of the best trainers. software city boys are about to be reminded why out communication is
1:53 am
a problem. going to punish them much and get people. to remodel. so. innocently. the 1st step is showing the group how the prototype app works so i knew what to do missing where really i'm. and when the i'm building. so because i'm going to more. it's
1:54 am
a swahili word meaning fertility supposed to be a platform to exchange information well it's market information whether it's based on disease information on record keeping all that in one. so how exactly does road to both work. step one register the group form a name and roger's. step to send the details to rotifers database. step 3 send reports to write to both via text message such as which crops and the quantity they're selling. step for on market day then text all the farmers in the group to share the information. to tell us. then they can agree on prices and share
1:55 am
transport costs. nicky to kids who dissent and need. most of interaction with the system will get through this a mess and that's with a farm as i'm missing the system of the system getting the data back to the farm it can be tailored to be anything the formal once it will be for instance if the group owns a farm implement like a palm. even from all it's to use the pump the request for the pump way. to come up with a group to simon says i watch it. all many make up and i keep. a lid to check what. now. you call. the app which allow williams friends to collect and distributes the
1:56 am
information they need to work together so why the building they operate. like you are not will be. fine yeah yeah. well why not because they said they like the product. they see the body neat so i think it went pretty well you should have seen the smiles on bill's gaze was. the smile on the of a hand is what gives you the belief. that . this has been. you can call it mind blowing all out of experience something you really need and it's all an experience where you'll have to come a 9 minute price and about $1.00 point. but you
1:57 am
know. it's an. open you can. be a key to. it keeping your money says i mean. in particular could do not seem to be young and he's going to. use currently seeking investment funding to develop or to buy as a fully functioning technology he's convinced that mobile phone apps like go to bob can help kenya's millions of small scale farmers to work more efficiently find new markets and have a better life putting information on people's homes do you think they fall out fair should have access to point for michelle a place because they're the ones providing me food and they're feeding the nation on growing the national debt or as i say or time envisioning for some of these things a project a cunt skill even muscle memory. and it doesn't woolfolk robes just the
