listen carefully. don't know how with miss to the goal. ah, feel the magic discover the world around you. subscribe to the w documentary on youtube. oh, ship special, how technology can make farming more sustainable and efficient? in recent years, more and more bees have been dying from harsh weather conditions, disease and pesticides, startups and israel and tenicia. you technology to protect the populations

these beehives work just like regular lives. but they are supported by artificial intelligence and robotic technology. roberts ish boss, and so in the robot is equipped with the sensors to know what is happening inside the hive. so why our system knows what the bees need and can adjust temperatures, eliminate power less distance sugar and even extract honey. the software collects all of this information with the help of artificial intelligence. what if a problem arises? the beekeeper is alerted through an application and can respond remotely with this allows beekeeper slum key friend cain to manage his hives. while a robot completes the simple tasks. from coven, i show this robot is a tool for b, capers to clean, but it doesn't replace them. it helps us provide out these better and more efficient care implementable. this solar powered high tech b hiv is located in bait,

high hammock in northern israel. it's part of the be home project initiated by israeli. start up, be wise to stop more base from dying. constant surveillance means speak hebrew can detect problems in the hives and respond before the bees are harmed to delay or what these are dying around the world. j more than 30 percent in all colonies die each year. this not only affects b populations, but the entire agricultural sector and the ling and ne, at the fees are a critical foundation of agriculture. they are indispensable him and without bees there would be no fruit at please 75 percent of what we eat, drink, and where was pollinated by b y baccha. drilling into nicea be keep is like las chevy also collect data from beehives. the early warning system, smart b, since live updates on temperature and humidity,

chop rises or drops in either can harm the bees. and there's more like a set of halleck, eroni, india, and as you metallic the, the, the information we received from this electronic device. i recommend, it shows us the best hives we own denying will not definite listing. i mean, we can use these hives for selective breeding, ma'am. and them emily kit this way, eliana can identify which queen bee is most resilient against diseases and can produce the most honey. he says this technology has increased his yield by about 30 to 40 percent. oh, what if you could pick tappers and harvest corns simply by swipe be on your phone in nigeria, computer science graduate. rebecca, a move has made this possible. investing in farming has never been easier. ah, agriculture is

a big business in nigeria where they're picking chillies or harvesting tomatoes. there's something for everyone's table and taste. traditionally manual labor farming is now also becoming increasingly tech savvy. farmers can manage acres of land with just a mobile phone. rebecca, who is the brains behind this operation initially for causal and chose to cobol nga and she'll get pulled out for their basic needs for the home. but currently we have or class of people wanting to be a part of the fund from their phone programs. currently we have over 10000 subscribers. rebecca is a computer scientist. she wanted to find a technological solution to farming inefficiencies after watching her mother and other farm and struggle with post harvest waste. for years. during covered, she witnessed many nigerian struggling to buy food. we found only

a flint program was launched during the fest called to week of the coven 19, but it was created to support an interest in agricultural and to also create empowerment for the masses. especially dude and sharing the dean and the subject income from the conflicts all down from rebecca co founded the africa wealth initiative, which enables anyone to buy a stake in the farming production directly from their phone. i put in because my monica actually walked from me having a reliable do something. and i good benefit out of it, which was lovely. i subscribe to farm from your phone because it is actually inside of the for me, i can easily from on my food instead of going to farm to own piece. and then if i'm getting my hinkle or need anything so been in for him to market for remote farming is booming,

and quality control is rebecca's top priority. she and her team keep pesticides to a minimum we carry house. and so i and analyses what analyses restore the pavilions pests around any climate and declaiming condition over please. that helps us understand the balance they exist in the environment already. so that help shows a mirror on the kind of an organic process to follow. so water and reduce the attack, whole pest on to increase productivity and that's how you get part juice from the farm to the market. in the 21st century, rebecca and her team have made it easier than ever to start farming with just a swipe of your finger. mm. how can a herd of cattle be kept without offence by equipping their colors with gps navigation? it not only benefits the animals, but also nature as

a whole. a new type of color for a new type of farming. these cows in the south of england are wearing the gps chips as part of an experiment. their posture is fenced in digitally, not physically. they tell us inside the posture, wiring a color, well when it meets the boundary here an audio and our audio will born the animal that you are outside your grazing era. you need to return. the animal learns that if i don't return or get an electric post, the pulse is comparable to that of an electric fence. says the norwegian company that produces the colors. on average, only 3 percent of the animals that here an audio warning venture out far enough to receive an electric pulse. a sim card in the cola helps farmers track missing animals on an up and satellite data. let's farmers redraw the boundaries of their grazing area as often as they like. regularly

rotating fields allows the soil to regenerate most of our cattle, we move on a daily basis using a system called mop grazing. but with the colors here where we're doing much more gentle moving the gps colors are being tested at the net re wilding project ecologist, penny green has already observed the hedges at the edge of the postures recovering over time. within a fence colors, we're starting to see this head starting to spell out into the, into the field, a billowing out and having a chance to breathe more easily. and overtime, this is gonna be much better for biodiversity much. but if, if the nature when bushes and flowers spread out, the posture becomes a more attractive habitat for insects, which also means more food for birds. nature's

resources are finite. global farming needs a large part of the world's fresh water supply and some 40 percent of its land surface area, as millions starve around the world. how can smart farming help us to use resources more efficiently? we need to grow more, but we also need to grow good, nutritious food and we need to grow that food without harming the climate. that is the water level sort of seating the soil start getting a new teacher. so how will be going to grow more good food? one of the most promising approaches to get there is data, data driven agriculture. that is, if you could use data and e, i along with that and coupled with the bombers knowledge about the farm, you have a good shot at increasing food production. this acro farm in malaysia

uses the smart farming system. smart tani senses in the water collect data that are important for the growth and health of the lobsters bread here, such as ph and oxygen levels, as well as the water temperature. we can see her temperature, her, and this for me, the liver. previously we do everything manually, we have to use it that it reaches a very expensive and we have to wait and getting here. so now we end up with an we can use it. we bait one time and it can help us to collect all the data and then have us to analyze everything we should happen in the fall. on the app pharma farhana of us is can access a dashboard where daughter is analyzed whenever problems arise. the absence notifications which allow farhana and her colleagues to react quickly. this way they can keep it constant i and water quality without extra effort. i think it is

easier because we didn't have today any come to the fun weekend. it was. so when you say from our home or an i and we, i threw it upon our everywhere else. smart tani was developed by the malaysian company, sat asia, half is hudson's company specializes in apps for the internet of things and big data. the smart fan is made up of a few different components. the 1st one is affordable census. second is white linking connectivity that's available. the fit one if our big fat another system it senses also measure nutrients in the soil, like on this pineapple farm. the smart system costs a few $100.00 euros, depending on the equipment and number of senses with a low initial cost, strong connectivity. despite wake mobile networks and clear data presentations

games, it is particularly user friendly, even for farmers who are not very tech savvy. a lot of our customers are, you know, for coming from the younger generation, they are more adapt in, i'm facing the faculty. so as we possibly fill in a weary, i thought i'd forgotten that i shall pharmacy at the going to be from the thought. but for smart fami to have a positive impact worldwide, it must be used on a global scale. not only in select economies, directly with arctic coach, it is a necessity. that is, if we have to get to increase food production, we need growers to start using data to start using e or to make smart decisions in the farm. ah, smart farming can help make agriculture more efficient, thereby also making it more sustainable. and amidst the climate catastrophe,

it might increase food security. ah ah, why do african governments these so threatened by protest held by the youth who better to answer this question for me than fellow nigerian nigeria has a tractor, is it for john tucker? c. purchase is an indication of a dysfunctional system. i don't know if you're aware that many police officers we killed, mitchell gets involved in politics. the use of lang jr at our favorite, the 77 percent. next on d w. wes, making the headlines and what's behind them. dw news africa, the show that was the issue in the continent. life is slowly getting back to normally well the streets to give you enough reports on the inside of our

correspondence on the ground reporting from across the continent and all the trends doesn't matter to you. in 60 minutes on d. w with thoughts they will grey, he will be with hello and welcome to another edition of the program made for you. the 77 percent africa. as youth majority, i am your host edie, mike, a junior from egypt to sedan and lights area major youth.
