it's about the environment so about society it's still about us planets on the brink spoke to the right as a message about trying. to get just only good sense. whether it's the global pandemic apply make change some of the problems we're facing to be seem so shouldn't that finding solutions at an individual level feel it's almost a few time but why we might not be good to solve all the world's problems that 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 on sunday

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 were cut off from information on best practices in farming and this has brought you some optimal results but a development organization is using the power to fix knowledge to empower small farmers in bihar and help lift them out of poverty. and you're going to get a lot from farmer to filmmaker it's an unusual courier job but beyond that means of command made. his latest film focuses on how to protect eggplant crops from pests i think that it's an outcome that you have a very healthy plan for keep using the moyl every 7 to 10 days to keep best somebody you pick up a book and then 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 but 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 better fluctuations we've got. to do yes. these are might. not easy to spot deliver you because. you have to keep a close watch. you can recognise 2 years ago. i was trained by digital green funded by the bill and melinda gates foundation and u.s. aid among others if uses information and communication technology to increase the productivity of smallholder farmers at their reading of information was disseminated to the community through the chart we've heard through 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 a long time at the community saw the more sort any other business that is can memorize the information the humus is delivered a long time and they can add up 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 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 infested. you have to 1st to spend money on tackling. the best would invariably destroy

a crop that again was an additional loss if you're just planted up your field and there was on time your ratings would have lost money once again not that all these expenses are black farmers are easily earning 25 to 30 percent more with him when even if. that's an estimate but c'mon believe his work is having an impact because based around $1500.00 rupees just under 18 year olds for his work he gets extra for each film showing for spreading the word. to the party 5 year old is responsible for the content of each film. he works together with the digital dream 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 bit and actually that. we recommend the use of crabs for this drug. that has a patient with a cracked and when they come close they get. to do the kind of. 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. particular place it is likely to work

here as well it builds confidence in people if one farm implements a practice others tend to follow all this helps in creating better practices. so far digital green has produced over 5000 videos viewed by millions of people across piles of villages in india and her means is not the only one spreading the information. that d.m. hopes that by creating 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 every year 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 city's waste ends up in landfills like this one in east delhi. as they bake in the north indian sun fumes enter the air and docks and seep into the ground. only around a quarter of all but india's we 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. earlier let them know who's going to collect it if not us up now 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 rocked. 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. near by environmentalists the melinda hardens an organization called switch. 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 beeping has no life or no future and that's what happens which i walks on right now. 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 our those tires and to it's been congesting our landfills for a long long time plastic similarly so we're told it can be actually bring in innovation design and utility and make some interesting products. lustrum green them up. and more now i recently migrants 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 mob employs mostly migrants like ali to work with to give them a 2nd chance at a good life. lots of boys from my village have ended up working in factories or on construction sites where they have to carry around the 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 long. proceeds from green them up going to switch off environmental projects planting trees to clean the air and advocating for green policies. job believes the the the onus argument relies on the government really produces almost 10000 metric tons of garbage the north and 10000 metric tons of garbage. it's also not my responsibility or our responsibility a community response to raise. money is obviously the state's responsibility so it's very very important to really not be could be aspects of governance from this management governance is the job of the government to hold them responsible for about. the landfill in eastern 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 lot 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 with their neighbors are becoming the trend in cities like they have not only economically practical but also beneficial for the environment. i'm pleased to have been gaffer has clearly done this many times before he's putting together his bike trailer. 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 fence. neighbors these things so. they won't have
