some of. the students are. training successful. dr. starts july 27th. whether it's the global pandemic apply make change some of the problems we're facing to be seen. that finding solutions at an individual level almost a few tide but why we might not good and to solve all the world's problems there are pings that we can do to help protect our planet this week we introduce you to the people and project we're making this happen hello welcome to eco india. coming

to you from my neighborhood in mumbai now 70 percent of moving india still depends on agriculture as the main source of livelihood for us we've got all from the information on best practices in farming and this brought to sub optimal results but a development organization is using the power to fix knology to empower small farmers in bihar and help lift them out of poverty. and you can go from farmer to 1st make up it's an unusual courier job but one bad one means or command made. his latest firm focuses on how to protect eggplant crops from pests it's an outcome that you have a very healthy farm keep using the oil every 7 to 10 days to keep best somebody you make you will. kumar began to see that film could be

a great tool for spreading information in his community farmers in bihar in north east india have struggled to cope with changing conditions as a result of climate change kumar felt there was a lack of information generally on how to deal with crop diseases and whether fluctuation is you've got. to do yes. these are might well in my view not easy to spot. because. you have to keep a close watch. you can recognise the year. i was trained by digital green funded by the bill and melinda gates foundation and us aid among others if uses information and communication technology to increase the productivity of smallholder farmers at that building of information was disseminated to the community through the chart with the plaques and through those some other men will but when their. attention came into existence. then we have started

with this so that and the purpose of that like it will be it in the information delivered in a long time at the community so the farmer sort any other business that is memorize the information that you miss is delivered a long time and they can adopt they can use their technology for a longer time. the global development organization focuses on small and marginal farmers who own less than 2 hectares of land and who account for around 86 percent of all farmers across india many of them grapple with serial poverty and in less than 4 euros a day digital green is supported by a state run organization known as. the training program is aimed at helping farmers adapt to. the problem in the past was that if your farm was impressed 1st you had to 1st to spend money on tackling the bet. would invariably destroy your crops that

again was an additional loss but if you're just planted up your field and there was on time your rate you would have lost money once again not that all these expenses are farmers are easily earning 25 to 30 percent more with him when even if. that's an estimate but c'mon believes his work is having an impact because based on around $1500.00 rupees just under 18 year olds for his work he gets extra for each film showing for spreading the word. that the party 5 year old is responsible for the content of each. he works together with the digital green team to develop storyboards and set up screenings in the villages. today after community meeting local women have gathered to learn about a new crop disease. according to oxfam india figures 85 percent of rural women in

india work in agriculture and so they make up the majority of the digital green audience. making the economic crap in my field is infested with pests and i'm unable to get a good price for it in the market is there a way to save our crops from this best and actually. recommend the use of crabs for this drug. that has a ph it would attract the best and when they come close they get. good. screening is followed by a discussion this discussion amongst fellow farmers is helpful in many ways it gives people the reassurance that if a certain practice has been successful and a particular player. it is likely to work here as well it builds confidence in

people yvonne farm implements a practice of the stand before all this helps in creating better practices. so far digital green has produced over 5000 videos viewed by millions of people across pardons of villages in india and is not the only one spreading the information. that dean hopes that by treating more people like him other farmers will have the chance to adapt to the climate changing conditions to. now we all know that we used as a big problem for our planet globally we produce around 2000000000 metric tons of municipal solid waste it's an issue in india too but the good news is that solutions big and small are being implemented to tackle it head on we caught up with an environmental organization in delhi which is working on different ways of

reducing waste. mountains of trash are among new delhi's biggest problems. half the cities we end up in landfills like this one in east delhi. as they bake in the north indian sun hughes enter the air and docks and seep into the ground. but. only around a quarter of all but india's waste is formally process. for a large part of the rubbish that's left india's informal sector of waste because step in. one such community lives in south delhi where they collect trash and preserve things that they can use resell. they get

a little recognition from the government but they form an integral part of the city's waste management system. only i have. no use going to collect it if not us we don't take no responsibility for their own waste especially not the people who live in big houses if we didn't collect it it would pile up in the street and stink so badly no one would want to go out signed if we stopped collecting it for 2 days everything wrong. it's estimated there are between one and a half and 4000000 waste because in india. they live on the margins of society with almost no access to education basic sanitation or state benefits. nearby environmentalists the melinda runs an organization called sweet child. a few years into being a nonprofit jogger the idea to collect some of the abundant garbage in delhi and up

cycle it i'll give it a 2nd life with higher value. this commercial arm of switch is called green the map . trash keeping has no life or no future and that's what happens for a child walks on right now. things that we actually up cycle for example a lot of tire in india is actually burnt by you know. that's very actually meet interesting wallets out of argos tires and 2 it's been congesting our landfills for a long long time plastic similarly so we can be actually bring in innovation design and utility and make some interesting products. lustrum green them out. and more now i recently my grounds to new delhi. today they are visiting southern a 2nd hand market to buy materials for an order they received.

at this market you can get anything you need no matter what it is. everything you need to make a bag from in a tire tubes for example like fittings buckles zippers thread you can get everything here. moved to delhi after school when he couldn't find a reason to stay in his village and. his uncle had found a job a green them up and brought into space in the harsh life of a typical migrant which normally means menial labor and. green the mouth employs mostly migrants like ali to work with with just to give them a 2nd chance at a good life. and. lots of boys from my village have ended up working in factories or on construction sites where they have to carry around a cement used to build high rises. their jobs are a lot more back breaking my work is great. i'm proud that i'm helping to reduce

garbage making something useful from it instead of throwing it away. you know it's a strong. proceeds from green them up going to switch us environmental projects planting trees to clean the air and advocating for green policies. job believe that the onus argument relies on the government really produces almost $10000.00 metric tons of garbage. in 10000 metric tons of garbage. it's also not my responsibility or are responsible to a community response. manager i'll be the state's responsibility so it's very very important to really not pick up the aspects of governance from various management governance is the job of the government to hold them responsible for about. the landfill in delhi we go higher than the. inspiring people

to rethink the concept of garbage is a good 1st step to keep india from sinking beneath its own waste. or drill a lawn more or a big suitcase but things you need every now and again so if you buy a new one even though you might only ever use it once platforms designed to allow people to share it with their neighbors are becoming the trend in cities like they are not from the economical you practical but also beneficial for the environment. i would like to contrast has clearly done this many times before putting together his bike trailer slid. you can lend it to a neighbor for free of course that's nothing out of the ordinary for him he regularly lends out his belongings. garden equipment tools a child's mattress firstly fans. neighbors these things so. they won't have
