more dignity have their hopes been fulfilled. 10 years after the marriage spring, rebellion starts june 7th on d. w. the news . w news alive from berlin. germany admit for the 1st time that it committed genocide during its colonial rule of num, india, german imperial forces kills up to 80000 herero and nom up people over a 100 years ago. the government is ready to apologize and start a 1000000000 euro development fund. but not everyone is happy. also coming up on

the show. france and germany pledge more than 500000000 euros to help african nations ramp up vaccination in the fight against the current of virus. and l risk leader turns to russia for support in his show down with the european union. alexander lucas, franco says, you sanctions over the forest, the landing of a plain, with a distance on board, or in the stabilizing his country. ah, hello em claire richardson, a very warm welcome to the show. germany has acknowledged for the 1st time that it committed genocide during its colonial rule of what is now namibia in southern africa. german troops massacred tens of thousands of herero and nom up people at the start of the 20th century. now berlin is to apologize and fund projects in the may be worth more than a 1000000000 euros. protest gathered outside the german embassy in namibia. they

wanted to know where the funds the germany has pledged. we'll end up and whether they'll benefit the descendants of the hero and mamma, who suffered terrible atrocities under german colonial rule. we at the distance must be said in our behalf, not from the government. at the beginning of the 20th century german imperial troops forced heroes at nama into slavery, and seize their land. between 19 o 49, no 8. tens of thousands were brutally murdered. after 5 years of negotiations between the german and the 1000000 government, now a formal acknowledgements besides the whole day, we are officially calling these events what they are a genocide. we thereby also acknowledge our historical responsibility. and in the light of this historical and moral responsibility on the part of germany,

we will ask namibia and the descendants of the victim for forgiveness. enough come the opera, forgive them bitten. the german government pledged 1100000000 euros to namibia for infrastructure health and education programs. but the german opposition is also calling for the concerns of the nama interior. people to be hurt. if you can, with the, with the german government, needs to make sure that all effective ethnic groups have a say in how the funds are spend. which together come negotiators, say the admission is important for german society to me. lucas there i'm had some just my feel. it's very important that what happened between 19, know, 4 and 98 the crimes. germany committed a present in the public consciousness here in germany. and it's not him to many here in the media. the actions by germany are not enough to bring closure and the german government is clear that the 1100000000 euros are not to be understood as

reparations or compensation. earlier d w news spoke to joshua quincy, akin a political scientist at the university of castle. we asked him why that distinction is so important. while i think the german government is still afraid of the legal ramifications of a full recognition of the genocide and this is where we heard from mister moss, you know, using this language of saying that, you know, it would today be considered the genocide. here again, we have you unprecedented as a dub and decoration that germany sign saying that a mos atrocities and crimes against humanity committed during colonialism should have counted as such at all times. so germany's actually renew it. i mean, you know, falling behind its own standards here precisely because, you know, of the fear that legal action could be taken, which could lead to further reparations. now, of course, it's clear that so called development assistance can not be classified as

reparation to any shape or form, simply because there are conditions that come with this money. and of course, if you say, you know, the wrong has been committed and he has recompense conditions can never be attached to such money. and so therefore, it's of course, correct to say that such money is not reparations, but it's also disingenuous to connect us money in any shape or form to some kind of recognition of the genocide which again is incomplete as we speak. and we can turn our attention now to some other stories making news after our hundreds of thousands of people in the democratic republic of congo are in need of food and water. after fleeing an active volcano, authorities have ordered a partial evacuation of the eastern city of goma. scientists are warning of what they call a potentially catastrophic or option 3 police officers have been wounded in a suburb of the friendship of not. if you know,

officer was stabbed and 2 others were shot before the attacker was killed in a shoot out with police authorities, davis suspect suffered from severe mental illness and was on a terrorist watch list. european medicine agency has improved a cove in 1900 vaccine for youth on children under 16. if that's the by on tech, pfizer shot is safe and highly effective for 12 to 15 year olds. germany plans to start offering them vaccine appointment in early june. other countries like the us and canada are already inoculating children from the age of 12 in france and germany are promising to invest more than 500000000 euros to support vaccine production in africa. the european union also plans to deliver more than a $100000000.00 doses of vaccines to the continent this year. many african nations are struggling to secure vaccines on the global market. and south africa is entry a 3rd wave of infections. our correspondent age are increased reports from durban.

it looks like the arrival of ahead of states, but it is actually just the delivery of $300.00 vaccine doses to an inoculation site. and durbin hundreds of eligible senior citizens over the age of 60, have been waiting since morning. i'm not happy at all because most of them has lost their lives, so they decided came here. so there to get stuff needed for their to prevent it. i think we're all very excited about least getting into the into line. yeah. and getting an oven done with, and then we can get on with our lives again. less than 2 percent of south africans have received the depth so far, not even $1000000.00 people. many south africans are not happy about this low roll out of the vaccination program, but the government says they simply cannot get their supplies earlier because of the massive global demand. and also because many industrialized countries secured themselves huge quantities of vaccines,

south africa has ordered 16 for 75 percent of its population, but only a fraction of that has arrived in the country. this is why french president the man with him. i clung and german health minister in span of visiting south africa to support technology transfer and the establishment of regional manufacturing centers . friends committed up to 500000000 euros. germany will invest up to 50000000. we have very keen to support and cooperate in this area with other countries around the world. we think it is very important that we can make it possible that everyone on the world that wants to be vaccinated can get vaccinated to be on the safe. when everyone is safe, we have an opportunity south africa has been a leading voice. speaking out against lack of maxine except for poor countries and demanding and intellectual property waiver for covered $900.00 vaccine. and on this we are not going to retreat. because for us to retreat means that we say

our people's lives are not worth much the lives of our people with a great deal. and we do this because we want to save our people's life. and we therefore wait to continue insisting that this wave i should be there so far, not a single vaccine is produced in south africa from scratch. only one covered 1916 as popular manufacture tear filled in vials and distribute it. experts say it will take a long time to create the necessary capacity time, but south africa doesn't have infection. rates have been increasing in the past days. the country is going into a 3rd wave, and people who are under the age of 60, still not sure when they will be able to get inoculated. meanwhile, bella ruthie and president alexander lucas shank has told russia, vladimir putin that the west is trying to destabilize his country, that your leaders have been holding talk. falling last week for the landing of

a commercial flight over bell rose, a prominent dissidence on board with arrested parking and international outcry can sanction. lucas shanker says he has proof therapy in union wants to quote, rock the boat in belarus. earlier we phone to our moscow correspondence, emily sherwin and asked her about this show of unity between putin and lucas shan't go. yeah. today, it almost seemed like they were portraying themselves as kind of close friends. they even said that they would go swimming after today's meeting. go swimming in the black sea, but actually their relationship has been rather fraught over the last few years. it's just that the 2 leaders are increasingly isolated. both of them, i think on the international stage, but for putin because shank over the last 2 years have been it's been a really difficult ally in many ways. first of all, lucas shank has been playing off the e u and russia against each other and sort of acting pretending to at least act as an intermediary between the 2. which i think would have angered puts and also lucas

shank is increasingly it seems on predictable. we saw that this week with this plane landing, and i think even the kremlin knows that with the huge protests that we saw in bella bruce last year, lucas shank has lost a lot of his legitimacy at home. but the problem is that russia wants to avoid at all costs, kind of legitimizing street protests that could topple. you know, a leader a long time leader. that's just too close to home. so they've decided to really throw all their support behind lucas shank and i think that's what we're seeing in today's meeting as well. and this month, flare up of violence between israel and thomas has stoked tensions in israeli cities where jewish and arab communities lives side by side. the latest conflict has seen some neighbors in places turn against each other or corresponded. tonya kramer sent us this report from the town of lud residence there are now trying to

pick up the pieces while the flames made their way quickly through the tire shop on the outskirts of lute mouth where he is still in shock. his father's family, business of 30 years, destroyed and just one night show you the lawyer. i feel a sense of loss being lost. we thank god we have our faith and we believe that god will restore our rights. and we hope that all will be rebuilt. it will be a period that will pass or follow had motor and shallow. the flames didn't stop at his store. they also burned down a computer repair shop, next door belonging to the father of us, but now the young jewish is really video game developer had spent a whole year creating a new stage of a game. now it's all gone, but suspect the shop was targeted by extremists from outside the city,

but there's no evidence to before the riots. some young people came and looked around, checking out which businesses are jewish, and which are aramis leaky. and for me personally, and it reminded me of terrible times in our jewish history, was it quote, it hurts. it really hurts to see so much fire and hatred. she but she was both a resident of a town in the center of israel, which has seen some of the worst violence in decades between jewish, israeli, and are of israeli citizens. the violence about that not just in luke, but also in many other nick cities in israel protest, but also parent to revenge attacks by arab and jewish mops. fueled by long standing issues, but also recent tensions over jerusalem. israeli police responded forcefully for us, where he d and you know, there's only one way forward. there are in it together through

a crowd funding campaign to hope to rebuild their livelihoods. but the worry remains. yes, we're scared. i worry the jewish extremists are looking for me and will tag me as someone who cooperates with arabs as if that's a wrong thing to do. lima, she's a q and ask med is also worried that he'll be singled up by his community. but enough is enough, we need to say what we think and not be scared. we don't know, we have a choice that i get as much of the future looks uncertain here and across the country. violence within communities in israel has left everyone in shock. let's change gears with some soccer news now because the german national team has begun its training camp before the delayed euro 2020 in the austrian resorts of they failed coach. you are. he loves last camp. he stepping down as germany manager after the european championship before the tournament. there are 2 friendlies against denmark and la via the outline training camp run until june 6th

. and is your new update? i think our coming up next is my colleague rob was with the business nice and clear . richardson in berlin for me in the whole team. thanks so much for joining the news is that you don't know. it's not easy to go to another country, you know nothing about why we do this because we can't stay dennis wheeler. why not look closely global news that matters. d. w made for minds.

hello guys, that is a 77 percent. the platform is used issues, share ideas you know, on this channel we have some young people clearly have the solution, the future goals, 77 percent. now, every weekend on the w, the thick trillion dollars rebuild the economy. president joe biden says out it's spending plans for 2022 with us debt rising. why will the money come from? was that coming up? we're in japan, where whole was the would be retirees keep working because there's no one to replace them. and the bears on us where in berlin,

where bars and restaurants are serving again will be it only outside the theatre. we business robots in berlin. welcome to the program terabyte. and it's pledging to rebuild the american economy by massively expanding the role of the state. but it won't come cheap, it administration has just that our plans to spend 6 trillion dollars during 2022. but the question is, why will the money come from us school children can be among the biggest winners from president joe biden's budget plan. biden wants to increase spending on education by around 40 percent and 2022. that would include big investments and universal preschool and making childcare more affordable, updating, crumbling u. s. infrastructure, reviving the manufacturing sector to better compete with china and addressing climate change are also key priorities. the budget proposal is mostly

a wish list from the president to law makers who ultimately decide how to fund the government. now, democrats and control of the house and senate will wrestle over details. one point of contention, how to pay for it all by and have proposed a slew of tax increases including on corporations. but it won't be enough to cover the tab and the governments that next year is expected to top the record levels that during world war 2. and so let's go to our financial correspond to new york yen core to end those rising federal debt levels. how much concern is around that now? well, i would say overall it is very troubling. even if there is a big, deep age going on. how bet those step levels our with interest rates near 0, we would really run into trouble when interest rates should be increasing. because

that automatically would make all of this, that even more expensive. but if you've seen the past couple of years or even decades, we sort of got used to ever a higher debt level. so look at george w bush with the financing of the war in iraq. and afghanistan, then barack obama increased the debt level was fighting the effects of the financial crisis, then you had to donald trump with his tax cuts. so that also meant less money in washington's pockets. and so now you have for joe biden with his big spending plans show us, how is wall street been reacting to buy their sons and particular the tax rises that he's hoping to use to fund them. interestingly enough, you do not see such a sharp reaction yet because if you look what happened in the past couple of years, i mean what joe biden is basically doing is doing 180 degree turn around from what

the former president donald trump was doing specially with his tax cuts and wall street, we acted quite positively to those. so now you could expect with higher texas on the horizon, you could see some pressure on the stock market. that is not the case yet. but if you look at some of the proposals, so joe biden, for instance, wants to increase the capital gains tax and he wants to do the trick to actively, actually down to back to april 28. so if that's going to come, there won't be any chance to put your money into any 6 have and before that tech gets into effect. so the capital gains tax is supposed to increase from $23.00 to a good to 43 percent. that is at the top level and then corporate taxes are supposed to get up from 21 to 28 percent. but the last word is not spoken. so this is the proposal. now, congress has to fight it over and see if that's really going to be what the us and

walk through it has to deal with in the future. sure, and you'll be keeping across it for, as i'm sure yet, culture in new york. thanks. let's take a look at some of the other business stories making headlines. the europe in union 750000000000. your recovery fund has cleared its last major heard left the polish in austria. lawmakers back the plan. now that all 2070, your governments have signed off money to help stimulate the blocks economy could start flowing by july. the danish government is about its digital corona virus passports. ap is due to go into operation on july. the 1st. it features a q r code that enables people to travel abroad over the restaurants or addresses. the user friendly app contains information out vaccination status, testers, all previous infections. germany coalition has agreed a proposal requiring a minimal number of women on corporate board of directors. it would affect the leadership of around 70 large companies. it could become low later this year as

already a similar quarter for some supervisory board. actually, let's get more on that from a financial correspondence in frankfort cannot be the business of business is business. this quote by milton friedman, nobel laureate, is sometimes shared among financial people in germany. most of them of course, male. it means that only business success should make a career, not political agendas, social change, or gender politics. but this attitude is slowly changing. only recently the global head of human resources at deutsche bank said i quote, greater diversity among senior executives is a business necessity. and he said, and i quote again, there is plenty of evidence that more diverse teams achieve better results and adjust faster to changing environment and of quote. so the new requirement of germany for large corporations to have at least one woman on the board in the

future, might be a clever step towards more success in terms of social change. and in terms of business kind of business. now a recent survey suggested around 2 thirds of people in japan would be willing to work beyond retirement age. the key might've ation given was financial. but the statistic is good news for a country struggling to fill the gaps left by its retirees. japan's population is aging, so the country is putting his retirees back to work till yaki used to be a sushi chef. no, he prunes trees. i enjoy the work and it keeps me fit. plus it's a welcome bit of money on the side. we do get a pension, but not a big one tonight. so i really do need to work here in koji prefecture, more than a 3rd of the population are older than 65. in the regional capital,

many shops and businesses are shattered. with an aging population, there's no one to take over and keep them going. say ok. emma used to run his own restaurant for the number of diners started dwindling 10 years ago. now he's traded in his sushi knife for a chain. so wow. to the east of koji and the city of conan, it's back to school in what's called the center facility. human resources, somewhat sterile name for a job agency, dedicated to retirees. the art of tree pruning is taught here by mr. hummadi h 81. along with training, the center also helps with job placement and take care of tax and insurance is use and it's one of hundreds across the country, all funded by the government. the elderly recruits emerge as bus drivers, parking lot attendance and even gardeners going well. la quinta,

and i didn't know if the older generation have to pitch in their life would otherwise come to a standstill. new to the departure of the younger population. expectations are really high with us and they can work without any pressure because you can contribute something to their region. you will do that with him right outside the center is a wooden park where the budding gardeners can get some practical training. these 9 trainees are aged 61 to 78. what all of mr. m. at the form a sushi chef also graduated from the silver generation human resources center. so that was 10 years ago. now another work day is drawing to a close. mister m at i could have borrowed tools from the job agency, but insisted on having his own. just as he did as a sushi chef. no one's immune to nostalgia a yearning for the old days. more he plans to keep pruning for another 10 years

when he'll be a t. it's certainly a job with a future. japan may be aging, but the trees continue to grow. oh, a few statistics all giving hope to businesses here in germany at the moment the falling corona virus infection rate and the rising number of vaccinations. a combination of the 2 is making a return to business as usual, and increasingly realistic prospect. some germans are already enjoying eating out for the 1st time in months, but emphasis on the out. could be around doors is a welcome treat. even if the summer sun hasn't breached berlin yet, customers are happy that restaurants and bars can at least open our doors after months of locked down, the staff, glad to be back. just as soon as the mother 1st, it's a really, really lovely feeling because you can go back to work again. we hope everything will improve with all the vaccinations that we can stay open for business. and that

is a change for the better that the psyche recovers would be to ship office. does it bitter aftertaste, though indoors. barza deserted. it's unlikely any one will be sitting at these tables for several weeks. perhaps months. the landlord is invested thousands of years in app. you're a fires and solely needs the dozens of guests who would normally eat and drink. here. michael, feel you have an eye on the weather forecast, and you ask yourself, are we going to open or not? we want to open sure, i guess that we're back even to give the staff a chance to work again after 7 months on short time, they need every euro they can get and they want to get back with their calling of welcoming guests. but when it does rain, even if only for a few minutes, a lot of the guests decide it's time to clear off despite the huge canopies, the hospitality industry association wants the authorities to trust the hygiene measures. landlords have put in place and open up indoor sections as well and come

and restaurants could open their endorse eating. it would allow them to make more money and that that would be worth it if the good feelings are there. but we hope they'll be able to take a next us danny, for right now. but that will depend on infection rates. if they start climbing once more, the fun could be cut short yet again. that's all for me in the business team here in berlin to head over to the the we dot com slash business. some of the the shows the issues shaping the continents. the news africa was gone. men what's making headlines them? what's behind in the way on the street to give you in the report and insights,

all the trend stuff to use dw, dr. is rico king 700 base. no, just the fees for the number. 80 marashi event and the we'll see, customize tally and cars in his garage because sometimes he might have something can be quite wonderful. read in 60 minute dw. ah, was me species and expedition

me looking to decipher the secret language of wales, the exciting part of underwater listening as you're getting your window into their, their life that you would never, never see. your company research team to the pacific to the language of whales starts to force on d w. this is beat up in years africa on the program today. the future of farming on the continent, the way is repaying a bumper maze, harvest off the years of devastating drought, but with predictions of more unreliable rainfall is this sustainable. meanwhile, in some form this, i get to yield to this because all the words have been destroying their products

will show you how a mobile phone app is helping them to be prepared. and the story behind the abandoned farmland cameras. they are part of the reason food crisis has skyrocketed in the country. also on the program, a historic acknowledgement, germany has many recognized that it committed genocide during its colonial era occupation of namibia. german troops killed 80000 people in the southern african country in response to an anti colonial uprising. ad people in the eastern city of goma have been seeing their homes. they are fearful of mount volcano on the news. hello, i'm christine wanda. it's good to have your company. climate change is increasingly posing a challenge to agriculture developments in africa. the destruction caused by floods

and the devastation by droughts across the continent really demonstrates the threat posed by the end, predictable weather patterns. now this year, some bubble is expecting its biggest target stuff made in 20 years. a sign that the country could be ending its cycle of food deficit due to successive drought. and the troubled land reform program undertaken in early 2 thousands. now official data shows the country will harvest about $2700000.00 metric tons of the staple grain. this would be almost 200 percent higher than last year. now the diabetes africa went to some bug with mushroom land west province from d. w. 's corresponded privilege. center. this report. 44 year old jane. she is a rural farmer from a shawn island width. she is sorting part of the green. have it. this year. you finally bought

a bump up. jane in her family has suffered from continuous droughts for the past 5 years. the case is similar to many families, of course, as in bob lee, who often survive on food aid, but good rains in 2021 insured enough food was for the past few years with extremely difficult was which was what we had no food guide food was and it was difficult to feed the family 5 in eating survival of things in this season because of the rain. well we had a good have is and they have more than we were eating normal meals. zimbabwe is it 50 to get a lot of over 820000 pounds of grain slipping is made out food from last year. this is the highest you'd since the year 2000. when zimbabwe embarked on the

controversial land reform, the land reforms lead to the collapse of the above with agriculture based economy and spot large scale food shortage. to this day, aid agencies still feed more than half of the country's population. zimbabwe has been fortunate to get a big harvest at a time when either so then african countries, like and walla, in my dad, got a grip with a severe drought. they sell it now is money. the post the have is last is like here where this pharma is, the harvesting, they expected to boost the national grain reserves by delivering to the national silos. part of zimbabwe agricultural recovery plan is to invest in drought resistance funding methods. this may have played a role in the 2021 good have is coming from 2 consecutive years of jobs. it's been

a very rough, 2 year price and we've learned from our mistakes. and we now know that climate change is indeed a real, real issue, and that we need to mitigate against that james, unanimous. then i do. it is time to do the same meal. the family is optimistic that for the months i had, they will not leave one empty stomach. and to further our conversation now about the future of farming, we've invited magland more from some bobby onto the program. he is an ad growth food specialist. welcome to the w, me as africa, amanda. let's begin by talking about the harvest ins and bob way, if it's looking very impressive, but is it sustainable? no, thanks a lot. i think that's a very good question. it is, and it isn't. it's sustainable in the sense that if you look at how we got this

harvest this year, it was really as a result of a combination of things coming together to, to create the conditions possible for, for such as this. i think 1st of all, the major conditions where near perfect if you look at the rain for map across and they realize that a big chunk of because actually got above average rainfall this year. and the rain was nicely spread across the growing season for the crops. secondly, i think government actually did a good job in ensuring that farmers got most of the inputs on time such as the seed and fertilize. and as a result, if you combine, you know, proper axis 3 inputs, good agricultural, gra, climatic conditions. i think you can always have a descent, have is even in difficult years. but why i'm saying that it might not be

sustainable is there is no guarantee that this coming rainy season is going to be as good as the previous one. and also whether men will actually be able to repeat what they're able to do last year. okay, and that really brings me to my next question because isn't always government seems to have accepted that the rates will fail more and more often as they had in the previous years. what do you think about the plan put forward by this and bobby and governments invest and so chord drought resistant farming methods? well i think, to be quite honest if there's one thing that work very well this, see this passes in it exactly that. this one would into a program which is really what people would call you know, climate might agriculture, all kinds of vision funding approach with very we're looking at the statistics in

preparation for these interview, government was able to train of a $2000000.00 households on how to grow would security crops using this with a method where you, you basically have minimum cost, you know, there tell what are the change in strategies, etc. and that's him to a very well. and i think that's the way to go, because from the looks of being a climate change is here, and we need to, to adapt. and this one a month looking at the confidence as a whole, many rural communities live with terrible poverty and often hunger. how can this, this new style of forming as you've been describing, provide a pop out of poverty and for food security for, for the region? well, i think it's not a silver bullet list that there that this approach to, to funding with a conservation agriculture or clement's mother,

agriculture all. what isn't bargains? copeland woods though it is not a silver bullet. i think what it does though, is that it gives from the fighting chance to be able to grow enough food for themselves. but we do know that what we actually need to be doing is to be growing food for food markets across the continent. and if you look at the latest data from the african development bank, what's happening is that the input bill is actually increasing and not going done and used to be that 1000000000. if she has a goal, i've had, you know, numbers that are approaching close at 200. so, so what we need to do is to completely re enable africa food production capacity to meet the needs of africans. and i think it requires more than just basic. you know, household food security, it requires interventions on the research side and the input provision side on the

mechanization and also and how much of it. okay, so, so manager, let's talk about how technology, specifically mobile phones can play a role in all of this. well, i think, i mean, that's something i'm personally very excited about because in the work that i do, we have seen real value in how you know, mobile technology, digital technologies can actually be very transformative. i'm a defend view that digital is the great equalizer. if we look at what we've been able to achieve with digital technology and financial services with, you know, tools like and s and others, i believe the next frontier is going to be how do we digitally enable agriculture? my estimate is that the bulk of the smallest go farmers across the continent do we have access to mobile phones? now? now we need to see that mobile phone as a source of information as

a source of advisory as a source of business transactions. so we need to build the next, you know, chapter of african agriculture, around more about technology and try to enable, you know, agriculture from a ital perspective. i think the tools that day one seems to be missing though is how do we to rate the tools and make them work in a way that actually delivers the change that you want to see. alright, that is man's land coma talking to us there. we appreciate your time and in fact, man, but thank you. it's a pleasure and makes roy shows how smart phones can be transformative for fun. ms. mays is a staple cup across much of eastern in southern africa, and it's not just climate change that's causing problems. now, this big chris said to that you see behind me the fall on the wood, it's actually the caterpillar often month, native to the united states,

but it's not stayed there. the pace is spreading around. the world ruining harvest, like in here in southern african, 2017. but one projects in diana is helping farm is to fight back against the hungry caterpillars with the smartphone app like the farmer in our midst report from a shanty land. now of course when i security takes up the next story. 7 hector's of me is on this small holding in ghana for chance origin. these men are working with farm or now most of our house. he's struggled to secure a bumper have if, though he's been on his farm for 25 years. it is the 41 year olds, only source of livelihood when one of one of our major problems has been the full army worms. they've been devastating the bundle. well, they simply destroyed by one or she we haven't been able to detect early enough in order to tell them what or novel isn't the fact that it's be making it difficult

for us to grow enough here on the farm. when i 1st live on my medical form, i had some fast head about an innovation called the quote for a i up in 2019 using the mobile phone. he can detect very early on which areas of the mid foods have been infested. the up compares his crops with an online d, b, and provide farmers with animated video in the local dialect, detailing steps to be taken to control the pace. while foundation is behind the tech solution, led by software developer must a 5 year old. to d to develop is meeting our son on his farms to talk more about the technology. the year old hack explains why this innovation is crucial. for farmers like

a high sun object, ology has helped in the fight against 100 monetization, by driving about 40 to 50 percent growth yield in, in crops for farmers and the insane brings them money as well as food to keep for the rest of the year to feed your families, i'll have some half step 16 sucks of me up from just 5 the year before. he says the technology is a game changer in control in the past. when i, for me, you know, ways new. i'm going to buy this technology has helped me to detect the past really quickly. and i was able to get help spray the farm and control them wasn't. is a new one. so this innovation has been significant and increasing our yields for us and you and him or hack. and his team are not only thinking of farmers in
