12:32 pm
that's from the media has used the am i supposed to draw on the hopes it will have the positive effect on his heel. it's f dot plow in. we use our, my facts, possibly all over allies is outside this we as finish the job, you see practice that the one you call it, they're asked free or the company called the inspect technology as the means i open, i must loss of my 2 widths for precision solutions, the company's a, i support the drones as to the risk site here and kinda high tech solutions like these are only gradually gets in of the ground here, even though they can see from it as both time and money. you much know really farmers thinking defensive, knowing that it flies in that. but it's a bit of a low climate where farm is embracing it. we are having difficult
12:33 pm
times explaining to farm is doing the most painful farm is enough for them to adopt the system. they are from planes, districts in the east of the country is a key. other quotes for our region mazes the main cro p a. and one of the country's most important stuffs gonna produce this more than 3000000 tons of means a year. but expects via that's a number of threats, quotes do apologize, the countries for supply long time and threats. those who look on the and the some reason to the prison. can you tell me this present as wound population as well that i meant to suffer to come in very amber and again as carpets. electra check expects experimenting with a deficiency and kind of james to develop ways to come back to the fix of climate
12:34 pm
change on finding with the supports of the gym and development agency guys, a dining team, a google has developed a program that's usually is a drawing to money to have people openings on cash you plantations. even if you have a moderate size from, is it a manually trying to walk into to see the cashier tree that we have standing right in front of you kind of see anything guys going i box your heights to defend the expansion. and you guys see what is happening on top, seemed as some disease that is spread out from the top. you will come and i've talked every day and you wouldn't know. but if you're using a drawing, we can pinpoint it and let you know that there's 3 dice right behind s as in fest, that the drawing takes images of the trees. and visa they analyzed by the i stuff the way kind of the i, the program recognizes immediately which plans are diseased and away from. i can then react quickly before the disease spreads and causes major damage. not the
12:35 pm
system that is if it rings decrease or the location is based on the volume of diseases and pressed because you don't want to go after every sign of disease and pass on nutrition that is showing your from the whole point of this and the detection early detection of disease and as you know with for it to spread and destroyed down many things because it's any into your virus practices to get tablets. and then you end up saving your yield and technology can offer other benefits. offered quinn is one of precision solutions go found is the tech uses are to officially set of james to money to have plants cross farm is going to access the data themselves. they no longer have to get an expert in which is too costly for many of them to take pictures of the way. and then we're doing there in the station.
12:36 pm
2 months later this week in 2023. the west african configuration echo was launched, a full resilience program to strengthen for security in the region. that program aims to reach more than 300000 financing kind of low on its wants to encourage the use of technology including a i to improve have is i did quote you on needs to become more efficient and effective, you know that to provide for and have our growing population, finalize the media, it's already on board. a setting that's with the help of the new technology is next have it won't be successful. especially intelligence company do a lot,
12:37 pm
but we don't always need high take to make a difference. we had notice in baldwin as much as 40 percent of small skilled funding of farmers produce can get phone away because it can't be sold. the one creative i'm going them is come up with an idea to mix something out of it. is that phenomena, is there a key crops and many pharmacy? it ends in both ways. monica land prevents or the non is, can be tricky. they don't store well, they suffered during transportation, and sometimes they simply remain on. so that's why around a 3rd of the harvest frequently and some is waste. right, and is on the has to heck test has been on the pounds. he found the high last is frustrating companies. they were tech 1st grades being grades and the from us only
12:38 pm
may with this in grade and that, that rejects. so with that ongoing process, we id like that you are losing a lot of funding left. so he said to me, to be finding ways to mitigate those, those losses and how best we can do that. that's when a, an ideal for processing by last came, after all the unsolved been on is still a valuable source of nutrition, even when they're in a different form. the economist founded a company. and this oaks brands is now process, is the unassailable been on, is for more than 40 local, small scale firms. the been honest and cutting to small pieces on the spices and then push into solar powered drain cabinets until the for the dried. the production process is climate friendly. that's important for brightness on the because he and his name was already feeling the effects of climate change. the region is getting hotter and dry, and that's impacting humphreys. a proportion of the been on is
12:39 pm
a ground into smaller then packaged and sold. the company also makes fruit snacks from dried, been on the skins. the brightness of the local farm is can now on money on that whole yields. what does that but known as a perfect notes? and now from bonus to not, she announced no less. the is which seats i use for use she about to, but he's used in moisturize. is in ivory coast a women school party permit the shipped from on sustainable tree back visiting with using donica. she does right, sandra, and these women initiative benefits not only individuals, but also the wider community and the local environments. these women know that if you stick to get uh you can do one does a quick check to ensure they
12:40 pm
have enough provisions. then these members of a women's cooperative set off on a 15th to allow me to johnny bit to read in these parts of 5, re, quote can be quite rough, especially during reading seasons. but even swollen, 3 of us can stop the women upon arrivals. they collect nuts from sheer trees, which build time into she about to. it is used in cooking on cosmetics and sold off the top on the walls market. but the women find scenes of devastation to, even though this is a protected forest. from us of cut down fees to plot fields or strip them to sell the book. in traditional medicine, she, a buck is used to treat malaria and stomach. it's much adult, bought the trees via out and die. many of these women one slow t bucks too. but now she and that's provide them with the more environmentally
12:41 pm
friendly pulse of income a part of the year. so we had an apple since we joined the cooperative, we've completely stopped cutting far. and we used to cut a lot of these. sometimes we even heard ourselves small removing a board and without their bar patrice done, or cute. so now we do everything we can to protect of the tree. yes. 5 to 4 keys in 2021. a sent that to process she and that's a set top in the village of wondering my do a lot. so some 200 women walk here in a cooperative called non costs will mean. well, we stick together the co operative us truck, a purchase agreement to the gun, a best company, but the aims to empower women in this region. as it is obvious, these on the women got the invite as many lots as they come later and cook them to nick, she about the
12:42 pm
culprit, the buzz being of gunning, satisfied it's processing facility costs around 60000 euros. most of which came from the international donors, including the e u. the popular from savannah food company as a regional office to handle the corporate team, she about to international service. i'm going well, thanks to the she a bought as a gun excited vacation. centralizing production on one side was key to the process . and i've been shooting them on the fun. the women used to bring their shame bounce back from the bush and store them in a corner in their houses. it was usually the place where they stored chemical fertilizers for their fields or were children would play or for. the women also process the notes at home or see amazing but the quality stuff or did it. there wasn't too much contamination when they tried to do it all at home. and it was simple, put something the strong guys who came to south to sign amazing. besides the high international demand for organic, she a bought a t a in the regional center of the color. there is to
12:43 pm
a brisk tread into the buck and roots using traditional magazine. at least 2 big truckloads leave here each week. bound for ivory costs, financial copy told me not to what tara used to sell to bucky and was often away from her funding for the long periods of time. now that she's a member of the women's cooperative that's no longer necessary. she can also afford to buy better food for her family and invest in fish lab. yeah. and you know i, we come here every wednesday when it's market day. i think the color. yeah. before we never had enough money out of me. but now it's best to pass on if i was able to buy 2 crates of fish, i think that i can re sell in the village a lot of go on last week. i, you're not a probably not that as you're the project. we receive 10000 francs and i use them to buy vegetables. i'm a i got was the last little, i know that the extra food is a welcome contribution not to over time as us,
12:44 pm
but the lead gross human caution that's he's or the wife also walk seem to call productive on since both women now and more money that lives respect has gone on. i've gotten given by my wife helped me buy sheet for debowski, a face to the sacrifice or yes, it will. and they contributed to the purchase of some capital that do what i do. my wife's of also really helped me to pay the school fees, so i recognize the value of the co op and of the final. the women are gaining influence in other areas. they often come across fields of fields and culture, not see legally planted by local men in the collecting zones. now the supervisor, the n g o, as i look at them uh, the square kilometer area which is off limits to anyone, but the corporate to the frontier guy lives in the women who own the living gathering. shane us in this area won't allow their husbands or any other people to
12:45 pm
come in here. i'm trying chrome just to say, do web posting if they've got to me to oh, plan is to certify the largest possible area as a bio diversity zone. nothing's only business is level that will help us to more effectively protect this land and enable it's restoration to pull up and my provider. so what i will call you to the shade trees, bring us respect, and in return we protect them. now the villages respect us and value our work, it's walk that not only protects the forest, but also helps women and their families. proof that environmental protection can benefit everyone. and there are incentives when it comes to generate and climate friendly fall. 2 syllable dues that can be installed of balconies and terraces are gaining popularity across the euro. but they have really good for the environment and that they will see investment. we'd go to germany to
12:46 pm
find out a solar power for your own household. that's the problem is of so called balconies solar plants tow mendelian form. a sales manager, cutting of the land is just about to have one installed into account wait for me central time, so excited, and you know, it's been 2 years since i 1st started thinking about getting a system up and running the football from the balcony solar plants like just like photo voltaic systems on a roof, but on a much smaller scale, they can be set up on a terrace attached to a balcony railing, or in front of it like here with simple brackets engineer who but the push has installed about a 100 of them and then it becomes without another mistake. typically, a balcony system consist of one or 2 solar modules. so that all of these modules contain crystals that convert sunlight into direct current and or d. c. suddenly suppose to of clift, direct insights, pulled them by the next step. this inverter then turns the dc into a c p,
12:47 pm
which is the type of electrical current to use didn't household in on next. this pullback says then i simply insert this ground, it plugged into the socket, and the power is fed into my household pool. and that's how i can use my solar system to run a mixer or a cable in code. and i need to consume that balcony generated power fast. any excess is fed into the public read the system as a money saver according to x. but germany's federal network agency, the holes hired an average household with a comparatively large well positioned balcony system in a sunny spot facing south shots. its can generate 15 percent of its electricity consumption for using the balcony system. all flushing back on never come on background. that's like an appealing prospect. some full 100000 households operate balcony systems across gemini, but types of a cities, the real number is double that. although there's a fine,
12:48 pm
many people on people that are registered at balconies systems which are gaining popularity across europe. critics argue the panels are unsightly and unsuitables. i'll buildings with land box status. they can damage a facade or even pose of safety hazard. windows installed properly 40 kilometers from berlin, locals behind the push for shift to renewable energy saver. these the centralized systems specialist as well, that helps the advantages that you don't need to be a homeowner with your own launch rooftop full of solar panels. you can use solar energy produced on a small balcony. and berlin, oliver long used to research solar cells. as a physicist. today he sells balcony systems. most models are produced in china. he says, the cheapest costs around 150 years for consumers. that's investment and payoff quickly. moment. currently, if you do the assembly yourself don't choose expensive brackets and out for the cheapest balcony power plant model. so one of the chinese models,
12:49 pm
which are definitely reliable products that will last several years. and if you're also at home a lot so that you can make use of the power immediately, then in 3 to 4 years, the system will have paid for itself and type of security on multi fields. but does the environment profit to after of all, it takes a lot of energy to produce. those will take panels. but it's worth it because they have us as much energy within the space of 2 years as the combined power needed to produce transport and eventually dispose of the systems. of course panel the size do not have a sweeping impact on germany's overall power use. to. first and foremost, balcony helps on. so i have that openness going as happy to be making a small contribution to the shift to renewables. lights that she will show of her own new power plants to curious naples. now all she needs is the sun to come out
12:50 pm
it is so important to feel we have agency and can do something approximately to help our clients. it is very common to worry about it. and that can lead to a sense of helplessness. and even these engagement does ride sandra, but if we were to learn about the problems facing us, more playfully, what might be more motivated? because what doesn't love playing games? i did spy it on, on track for a new i. yeah. in lake us. the aim is to p up waste and separated before the green months to get to you. siblings, to light and dominion, are testing a new game that can i can the house if i leave for school. so of the game is just when you play. yeah. fear so the leading the police are going 16. so is that can, as are going acting,
12:51 pm
you have to avoid the most of that the call me use of some, but most of it difficult. as soon as we get an increase, the boys who just tried to avoid the more size gets more points. it's all about learning to protect the environment in the fun ways, the games develop a grease. james lives in legals, a city where a waste disposal is a major problem. while you look on my background here, you can see that people are continuously polluting the environment that lead to the plastic touch. andrew, i just left my game great class to play out use tax with their particular requests to clean up the environment. the grand class i was i to be breath out of my passion to up to be see how community, what made i'm female boys and girls. old people watch me and young people can contribute to what sustainability in a way that is interactive and logically for them. she and her team has been 2 years
12:52 pm
developing the game, pitched young people 87215. the main task in the early levels is to dispose of waste correctly. then the focus just to be psyching and using renewable energy to stop climate change. the game central character is a young woman. and the game itself doesn't mean cox a honey muse, a nicole. and that is actually a tribal name, phone code you state is actually or johnny cool. i tried to make it very, really table. um, um, because i feel like this is one of the best ways as well to tell indigenous theories and preserve culture, right. the game is still in the test space. cruise streams visit schools to present it is also a board game version for those who don't have a computer. the main thing is that it's learning through play. why don't you. d me to educate the children the younger generation through gaming is i wish i had this
12:53 pm
opportunity in my own private school. i wish people could actually do this for me. and i discovered that i could learn more from games. and i just said that to give that to my community because it would, i've been really nice to have this my own time, environmental protection and climate awareness. i'm not part of the school curriculum in that area. climate active us alameda or dual. and it's all going to zation or companion to change that way. you look at the kind of government that we have now. it's only the problem to integrate. uh, let me is a problem. we continue to when you have a domain that is very no response to climate change issue. you to be more floss dot team ok. that's, you know, when you want to develop that curriculum or you want to ask them to, to curriculum dixby face. they use that mix projects and keeps like green quest all
12:54 pm
the more important they make children aware of environmental issues and show them what they can do to help solve them pretending i am very sci fi. i plague with this. i realized that if i switch slash and i would disclose these as nickel deep insights using gaming as a way of talking time. a change is a new approach. it's a strategy, says grace teams with a lot of potential. if we don't actually start to take conscious effort, a lot of things are going to impact those beyond human beings, even our eco system, the animals are trees, the balance of the environment as a whole. so, and that's one of the reasons why we actually do advocacy programs because we, it's not just about playing games, right. but we found a way to make it so simple. i'm putting in some of the game. so it's in movements generally i will see that it has very switch potential to actually change the
12:55 pm
mindset of how future generations see sustainability. so climate change is and so greece, james, is campaigning for environmental protection to be included in the curriculum, and hoping how game will be part of it. oh, wow, that does look and lots of fun. i can't wait to take it out. so many good ideas to take with us today. we hope you phone that too. i am sandra holmes, that we nobody will sign and go from complex right here in uganda. and i'm chris alone. say nigeria, thanks for joining us. and to check out a cool offer, go online for moiz, byron stories, or write to us at eco dw dot com. see you all again. next week. the,
