world we live in for example trying to be a drag on the global economy in 2020 counting the cost on al-jazeera. it's a mobile world. with calls texts and labs to help make our lives easier. but not everyone's benefiting. yet. chan mobile phone apps be designed to help make a better world this series challenges app developers from around the world to visit communities who are missing out and then come up with an app that could help being a life. this week life absence in india

my country at the forefront of the id revolution and which has the world's 3rd largest smartphone market but where one in 4 people contrary to all right. such in go lives in delhi the capital of india he works in the secret site of india's high tech boom. he has a double lost as in computer cryptography making computers safe from hacking. he also believes in using digital technology to help the less fortunate. and yet oh what a brilliant move by the. i believe george and me again winding on. used evolution so many offered structures my question is to find on so's to help people who are living at the bottom of the economic bit of. such and belongs to

a collective called mix all they use technology to help underprivileged communities . one of their ambitions is to help india's beleaguered small scale farmers. have anything to remove. the challenge for such an is to design and life. a mobile phone app to help bring farmers a better life. in the local cafe such and his mix all colleagues brainstorm some early ideas for. your favorite the sad stories from you know farmers will say and all that so there is definitely some problem on the ground which they're facing and my in benjamin not to push any technology to them but my intention is to look for a solution you know which this technology can bring because this is ubiquitous and

there's something which is very cheap in india why dear will any available at a very cheap and affordable places if there is something you think from a problem point of view which we can address something that could be done is going to like. that is you know sort of. move in with its hard to get into that information i can give this this is the time it is going to be and we have to start thinking and maybe of field visit is something which is much more needed to validate our thoughts. this is. such and starts by setting up a facebook page to help research from this problem in this. particular the interesting leads come from the huge southern state of undress pradesh. so such in fly south to state capital hyderabad. it's the start of the 2000

kilometer journey deep into rural india. just landed there were there for hoping i really cared enough insights meeting those people on the ground what are the problems farmers are facing and what does that i.c.t. mobile technology can do for such an wants to hear small scale spawn the stories 1st hand so we can find ways an app can help in under pradesh 7. not to fall in this depend on seasonal rains decent rainfall can mean a bountiful harvest the weather patterns and on time climate change can mean rains up early and late fall fail altogether. why plan this out and close. the. local guy privy in

visit mr naidu who runs the community managed sustainable agriculture project. in the 4000 villages. and all that one day would have. been formless one he said there. are 2 want to. know. when you are. going anywhere near going to. well. i mean when was the last layer to graze in agriculture my. imagination you know when i was sitting in there lee

was very different and the good it all can do you know it has already changed you know the studio about the woman so i such an wants to meet farm it's like b.j. or the woman who lost 3 family members revisiting jim 12 very enthusiastic good team has come through chemo yeah whatever so tomorrow they will both said i will because you are there. 2 hours from hyderabad is cutting nagas his home village. to deal with the damage and the ems and the editor to. my live eternally in my lower acting and they. demand virtually including my london little my little did he call and that and a little table of them and they went out on monday and so.

though something some government is a put up by husband money grubber the mother and they screw them up operable in emberton in the eligibility election. that i will go both so that i would. guess. those are far more than as i've learned little of all of this argument big. engenders mystery party i think. $3032.00 models will be ok. s. are i farming stands for system of rice intensification planting young spacing white. multi crops is the growing of several kinds of crops. these new ideas saved which i. read your story is remarkable despite all the hardships years going through years being able to get control of your life. i want to see this all

your while to grow farming to model that does remember to help her and other farmers turn around their lives. turned her farm around by using new methods her family had never heard about. sergeant thinking that stories like this should be heard by a much wider audience. the next day such enhanced deep into under a predation to monday karma. this is a. protected samuel's troubles include expensive fertilizes low crop prices and drought. some real story also has a positive twist he's found hope in organic farming in the land famous for its green revolution with its emphasis on fertilizers and manmade chemicals some mistaken advice to far more naturally. worms and insects keep the soil healthy and

local organic matter feeds his crops over time it really is that you are you are. all your friends and. that the other day when. they are very good to me it was a relief that if. they're going to love me. you mean without a body. yeah the 32 you're going to make as a courtesy. every director writer tracy. bradley got or you sit through an agent them. who don't go like this well. i'm good because they were good challenge kerry i'm going to go and such and has discovered how farmers have improvised to deal with their problems.

or does expect her to fix. some of those neighbors not i am not a sama sama narrow strip of land. with some house help they realize i not only own organic farming but on multi cooks planting several crops not just one like rice it's a blend of traditional farming wisdom and modern scientific knowledge like you. don't even come around me for years we've got nearly over would you categorically and if you cannot i really can't think of your local k. which. j.c. king very. tired i am very good job just regular people take a q.b. very young give a cuba i know you cannot find out i am martin going to pop up in calgary america will be back with name only person talking like you know me how do you manage being

with our fans when we are trying to remain in go out. and get them in any group. can be. good. business for. now and his neighbors now go several crops all year round not just the standard old rice crop. they have more than doubled their income an extra $2.00 a day each more. the message such as picking up here and drop a dish is that some small scale farmers are coming up with fresh ideas and initiatives. too often other farmers just don't hear about them but there are people trying to change that. some touches with the c. and s. women self-help group. she runs that organic pest control store. she

spreads the word using very basic technology. she's using a pictorial way of helping villages remember new farming ideas yet on tap. for the monday months of study like i work with a fan of it i got someone to tell me it's not a full plate at that will cost item and some obviously there are a lot of money and a lot of. fun up but we're trying to prove that she. said quote this aspirational interest that i want to ask her if she is given a mobile phone. she can pay me for all those 40 have been telling us save most of the boys you know they're going to be happy of all good because she has a better knowledge of you know their confidence and one of the northern arm or rather new go girl. i'll get to know you do stuff there but i'm on a reform the model of the miss a response i want tried opposition and done all these stood on top on

a model out of them 101 them on the rain on monday q put that on they're going to mark so much on a hardline rule and their memory stood. by them on the. monday. w.b.'s hangry general she's saying yes every verbal storytelling is part of the cultural landscape of india so such a needs to know it will be happy using text. new foreign wired up with little or no martial art on decreased a part of valor were dismissed upon but i'm just a part of the on going in model of bank you support them both on character and i'm going to speak. jill if you want to do something for them if you want to bring something for them when i come home again yeah and sure what barack and we're . going to foster a little star. thing on things. such

as heading back to hyderabad to assess everything he's learned it's becoming clear that a mobile phone app could help if you collect and disseminate stories of better farming practices like those he's been hearing about here in under pradesh i see you know all those mobile application which we are thinking of could really do something off in fact if you could back it is their stories in a way that they do not struggle you know in learning technology instead you know being what they are good act which is you know telling their own case studies in the way they are comfortable. such an wants to play to the farm the strengths of storytelling in state capital hyderabad stories travel fast people cross-pollinate ideas and experiences could form

a share ideas in the same way for inspiration such as calling on the honey bee network. for 25 years honey bee has been gathering up ideas and inventions from farmers entrepreneurs and scholars across the world. to me. they help with peyton's. undoing and spreading ideas on the internet so such as calling on the networks brigade be a good nation to see how honeybee works in under a pradesh with a real pleasure sitting here because i have read a lot about i mean it was there is tremendous hidden knowledge in the villages are the grass roots level and they have the ability to solve their problems to great extent and that's because they have a harmony with the nature solution identified by farmer for his own problem he is

required to meet he says foremost in this country more than the board now all of them are not so blissed like this farmer who follow his problem but if they get this technology this innovation the product all of them millions of them will slightly go at no cost. i'm so excited today after meeting together going to. the stories of farmers and really innovators i saw musing that i'm just dying to meet them tomorrow. so such as off to meet one of the farmers turned inventor whose ideas honeybee is backing. after a 9 hour drive he meets side that button. with electricity as sporadic as the reins of power for irrigating farms is vital. ciders on his $400.00 windmill. muttered the

funny part and i. have no. problems with that at that. but. when i got here my thought was because i. was not really a novice and then i was slim i really really have an idea when you go explore the attic idea years so that i'm got that one of the. here dad actually i guess i will progress. first school i want to go back sort of wired to. see how they were danish and like i don't exist or danish unlike is how i did by going to. the.

nearby. women leave you to saudi. taken this family of farmers and leaving. so to help he invented the awesome machine he wanted to save women weave is the tedium and pain of repeating a single motion 9000 times a day just to make one sorry. for you find a very fine job when i open a much more novel going to keep me going to come here and here for the plane the new britain will go here it's going on no. don't tell it has to have been a minimal kind of cool army prepared i'm taliban they've been me. one of those times the moon you also where the moon you know the pinnacle gee you can get a pretty good tree but it worked under the how do you also were done here than a long monotone model fun just to learn to bundle no one to give 100 not given them to these on according to all of this he didn't cheat on the key and not astonishing

them. such is not travelled over 2000 kilometers nothing about the innovative ways india's funds are improving there are nights he's convinced mobile phones can help people share ideas so everyone can benefit. sol 2 of my big buddies who know me that people will have mobile phones and connectivity so does already there whether they can afford the mobile phone that is already there what does not there is a very simple and intuitive solution for them so that they can use these gadgets to tell their stories share them questions. doubts anything then they are stuck. back into any such in steam work with volunteers who've offered to

help build his story sharing life. how we can close a small by last saw your time problems off his farm was so cool to see. a picture and then click on it the idea that settling on is to use pictures and voice recordings instead of text so all we can get hold of the us system which is cobol. they can share they can learn and they can build there and you know when. they come up with a working model the mobile harvest app. it's an app that helps form

as share stories and ideas i'm can be developed into a fully fledged smartphone app. well i wanted those for you this application. and with a bit but almost in india so with the help of a few blogs i may be able to do this in the us too early you know it's good we created from a week or month of the been. moved . back in under a pradesh suchan wants to field test his mobile harvest up. many to system but not the man i am fairly. well bought. by the human names that leaves out this system with a. also called economy if you go to step one the user logs into the

mobile hobbyist app system make a school that's getting. a . better step to record the idea. only got i got told that it wasn't a. child getting it back and say oh good now fold up he bought a quad go to gaze for a listen i can pick up that. you're going to give me being functional. step 3 select this you to bill image. step through all share your idea with the whole community via the app. that i got in there saying i'm sick of buying is something i don't cook advocate or

that's who you think it. just as he had them the langage scummy so neither of us is that he gets a. chance to one up me but so not so. well but for you system of the oddest sell off either hoboken me any meal you pull in a mere fist of said not visible in the name it's going to change out of the chip on to me you know it's not really a chip in a some other we're not gonna let the talented live on your money mississippi added i hadn't gotten out chip been a mentor who could look good i didn't i'm not even little bit you branch out of it been done. so what does organic almost make of such in small ball harvest up down fired up when the little your god was it going to grow and grow bridges we grew great that it got from hard to get a beautiful saying turn it is subsidized by the border with such and such like up

using sound images you don't have to be fully literate to use it. so what does mr ray do who helped plan such ins jannie think of the prototype i pleasure having a lot of this valuable input from. little interest in your. obligation. i think it was a really exciting opportunity and i hope you're going to launch a pilot with us then i can give you a little bit of feedback up for we're going to do it now that i've shown the app you can do it to 6 people and they're all in the present different stakeholders so the right now i am very happy with the book which is happening for the feedback. and there's a lot of detailed feedback which i brought. on which i want to work on so from here i want to develop this application make it more robust and they could through the pilots those trials and make it something you know which can be adopted nation like

. so long way to go it's just the beginning of the project. we live in a digital world where even the remotest communities have access to mobile phones. but look in this technology bring to a nomadic existence life apps travels to the media and gives the software designer the ultimate challenge to design an app to help the him the tried in their daily lives can you really be done. fly fabs one for nomads on al-jazeera in. january on al-jazeera president donald trump is that the president in history to be impeached what does this mean for the future of the u.s. leader on the brink of an election before much chilian presidential candidate explores the defeat of left wing political parties across russian america and look
