a fight to me, a 1000000. so far the government has rejected any coast for external mediation, saying the conflict is an internal one about law and order. but that internal conflict could now be running the risk of destabilizing the entire region. as if a now there's more i'm told me a lot of thanks for joining us. w's crime fighters are back africa's most successful radio drama series continues. all of us odes are available online. and of course, you can share and discuss on w. africa's facebook page and other social media platforms. tune in now the fight against the coronavirus pandemic. how has the rate of infection been developing? measures are being taken?

what does the latest research say? information and context. coronavirus up to the 15 special monday to friday on robots that harvest fruit, drones that fight pests cows with smart collars can new technology help us feed the world's growing population and prevent climate destruction smart farming. our topic unshift farming is one of the oldest professions in the world. according to one survey, 82 percent of german pharmacists use mart farming technology. big data makes animal breeding more efficient and artificial intelligence is used to identify the best

conditions for growing crops. farming sensors communicate with one another on line to improve efficiency and algorithms process they gathered by jones robots have the potential to harvest and they're much more at this, california farm robots are autonomous. lee transplanted saplings, monitoring their growth and moving heavy parts, which way up to 400 kilograms from a to b. . the farming company says it grows 30 times as many vegetables protector as conventional agricultural businesses. and people only play a secondary role. i think robots will not replace but complement humans, the agricultural industry, which will help the industry is changing. farmers are becoming agricultural managers. robots are increasingly being used to 10 crops. this autonomous vehicle, for example,

sprays pesticides directly onto wheat, cutting back the use of harmful chemicals by up to 95 percent. other farming robots destroying wheat using lasers or brute force thanks to image recognition technology. because this technology usually relies on machine learning, which is commonly referred to as artificial intelligence by processing. many different images, computers can learn to differentiate between wanted and unwanted plants. and then the strong cold was fed. robots are also being trained to carry out more complex tasks because farm helpers are increasingly hard to find. machines are learning to pick, strawberries, and harvest. great. this has many advantages. robots never tire and can work

through the night. robots are also being used and cattle and dairy farming, but some people claim that this is harming animals. in any case, livestock and dairy farms are forced to boost efficiency to remain competitive. one dairy farm in the southern english village of shepton, mallett, is leading the way and using 5 g. connectivity to enhance efficiency. this might look like a conventional british t.v. far. plus it's not. these d.v. cars are integrated into the smart arming system that utilizes 5 g. technology. colors that send them to milking robots assumes there are others, are. the robots then analyze the amount and for which you have no sickness trackers and the animals ears monitor their health. we've got a lot of wearable technology on the counters which monitors their activity in

a whole number of different ways. and that information is fed back to the computers on the farm, but also to the phone. so the guys running the herd have planned so they can see very early on the earliest indications when a car might not be so well. a farmer can check on his cows or run to his smartphone . we're looking at 66 just for the. so she can have jury in the noise of this red spike, use a spot of activity. basically it's telling me her activities increase. so i can see that she's a good labor stuck in the right to fit the directive if you dropping down. so i can interpret that as she's quite safely. he's can take complications and give me something much more efficient. but what does this mean

that i'm wealthier? tomas black from the german veterinarian association for animal welfare says that farmers were initially too reliant on high end tech. mentioned farmers placed a lot of trust in these technologies and cut back on checking their animals well being. they spent less time monitoring of the animals had injured themselves or for the new smart farming technology when properly used and definitely improved animal wellbeing. there are more and more true as we can use for that virtual pastures to prevent cattle getting hurt on a wire fencing. farmers can program g.p.s. collar trackers to keep cattle in a certain predefined area from their smartphones. if an animal ventures outside this area, it's collar emits a warning signal. if it keeps going, the corner gives it a long energy, electric shock. as an electric fence, what small electric shocks still sound painful.

these days farmers also his drones to monitor crops. among other things, this thermal imaging drone can spot photons hiding in tall grass that they can be rescued. so combine harvesters don't mistakenly run them over. this drone drops pods of wasps over cornfields. the insects destroy the eggs of european corn borer moths, a pest. in a single day, one drone can service a vast area equivalent to $22.00 soccer pitches. and this autonomy drone helps protect greenhouse crops from a base station scans the environment with infrared cameras and then dispatches the drone to kill the insects.

the world's population is expected to grow by 2000000000 people over the next 30 years. so feeding everyone is a huge challenge. the agricultural sector cries a lot of water, land, fertilizer, and energy. how can we use these resources efficiently? precision farming might be the answer. it's all about calculating the exact resources needed to grow plants and feed animals. that's researchers and companies already applying this approach. this is the so-called food valley. the dutch agricultural could lead to silicon valley. here, researchers like leo marcellus are studying the optimal conditions for different crops to flourish, their tweaking the intensity and color of lights, room, temperature, humidity, and air circulation to achieve optimal growth. and they use sensors to monitor how the plants react. we integrate that knowledge in simulation models and computer

models of how the plot is growing. the researchers want to enhance agricultural productivity to boost the yield of vitamin rich vegetables. vertical farms near big urban centers are one way to cultivate plants independently of local soil and climate conditions. ringback the netherlands are famous for their huge greenhouses, companies like rigger are working to deploy autonomous high tech solutions to optimize plant growth. sensors help monitor how they're doing. to me, the vision is that controlled environment. agriculture is one of the main solutions for producing food in a economically good way, but also in a sustainable way. this means using as little water energy, pesticides, and fertilizer as possible. this is sucking air again for your insight is for there's

a temperature humidity c o 2 sensor. a computer calculates exactly how much water and fertilizer plants need. and when fresh air is required to control those motors, they can control this insulation. so do roofs for cooling. because the cold screen centrino, if the sun is to watch, thanks to the data gathered by the sensors and smart watering technology, these tomatoes need 110th of the resources, ordinary tomatoes, required. the plan is to one day make this technology available for everyone's benefit. in the future, everybody can become a grower with the rights of every place in the world. that sounds like a great idea, but not everyone can afford this kind of high end tech. and without a stable internet connection,

agricultural sensors can't communicate with each other. does that mean small scale? farmers can't become smart farmers, they might have to sew, smart farming expert, run their chandra, the impact of climate change or not a culture is going to be much more for the small of ours. that is even a few degrees of radiation in temperature and the weather is going to affect smallholder farmers much more. we're not aware of what's going to come. so the need for smart farming the need for using data in any of the area is much more for small or the bombers. can you start up when tara is helping local farmers adapt to climate change? it provides a smart phone service that collates data gathered by crop sensors. drone data on light intensity is also fed into the system. with a drone, you can actually see crops just 2 weeks before you can see to their naked eye. so it helps the farmer make the right decision in time before the crop has

a loss of some 200 cheney and smallholder farmers are already using one terrorist crop data. they say that their crop yields have increased by up to 40 percent. the most fundamental problem you need to have asked is, how do you really democratize technology? how do you really get some of these sensors? some of these drawn some of these technologies. i could point where they can be used by everyone and all the work by the smaller bombers. and so far, only a small fraction of smallholder farmers in developing countries are tapping into smart farming technologies. but this could well be the key to feeding the world's rapidly growing population. here chanter is looking into ways to meet these technological advances widely available. one of the biggest problems is cost when you put in additional cents in the bill, you buy an additional go bark when you buy this new cameras. these are all additional costs for the smaller partners. we want it to be at

a price point so that every grower can start making use of data that will help us solve the world's problem. fighting global hunger with high end tech sounds very promising. in 2800 algorithms decoded, the complex we tina. now we can work on optimizing this crop to feed the world. but 2 questions remain unanswered. who owns this agricultural data? and how do the makers of sensors and farming equipment use it? i think that would make sense since this can protect our planet and global food supply. what do you think about smart farming? should robots manage livestock and harvesting? let us know on you tube and facebook. goodbye and see you soon.

money and charging up and pedal to the metal, cutting lawn, bowling, and sheep are remembering their games with plug in hybrid cars sold choice but look, see see red double i think is everything challenging for something to be a muslim school. much different culture between here and there. challenging for if only some of the same. i think it was worth it for me to come to germany.

got my license to work as a swimming instructor here to share knowledge to children. other dogs describe themselves as what's your story take part, cherish on info my greenstock beds. oh, see we are living during the most extraordinary time. for st. francis ford coppola for be electric. limited data rich the also the end of it is he said of you.
