to and because of our beautiful planet, it's even possible to do both. yes, using tech and smart farming is our top pick on shift today. there's no future without sustainable funding to help farmers grow more food with less chemicals. there are many stops that use data analysis to examine everything from soil conditions to climate changes to the most efficient ways to use fertilizer. so far, however, this data is not equally accessible to everyone. for instance, when it comes to data from space, satellites are rarely gathering info from sub saharan africa. a canyon start up wants to change this using artificial intelligence. this from uh, from the airy kenya has been working with satellite images to increase his crop, used to support since by us, stop up specializing in eco friendly technology from the capital nairobi. their goal farmers should have access to more data on the soil, the weather,
4:03 am
and future changes to the climates using the data we able to, to create to models this model. so that help us, you know, to, in this time what is happening at the farm at any point in time for farm as like marketing when you keep climate change, just making it increasingly difficult to tell when to stop slowing. his hopes, slow rest on the data from the software i'm you need, which could help him to be more efficient. when you have enough data about the living with a low event that it is going to come in. the do not last long, it will be show today's the lu uh the duplicate those in those 3 months. but yeah, cool. if it is going to be longer and then you know, we are going to be made of those plants that go for a longer period. busy i mean, he gave us with the and so it was a so from set to lights in space and analyzes this using a i. the company is based in nairobi,
4:04 am
since most satellites are not directed towards gathering data from africa, guessing high quality and reliable data is challenging. i mean, the fall decade kill us wants to change this. we wanted to make sure that countries in the global south were also equipped with the same platforms that the global nose had been able to get access to. and if the west of the global nurse, as accelerated as created the world that we see today, sort of technology africa, hasn't been able to capture that revolution because of the lack of high quality and accessible data. kate kilo's isn't tackling this challenge alone. she wants to fundamentally change how data is gathered across africa and is thus co operating with academic research institutes. and can you use machine learning to protect the climate? the ultimate thing which we building that i mean is onto the legacy to the african continent. so we hoping that as we continue to work with the students and
4:05 am
build capacity within the continent, they come and take over and bring that. that's um that mission and the vision a 100 times further. and that's uh, that's what we'll be able to do it today. in less than 5 years, i mean, he has already raised more than $2000000.00. kate cal, it wants to use the sets of live data to improve. i mean, these machine learning system, the data can provide more information on the impact of climate change. and that's help the farmers on the grounds here. small scale almost especially important to when i see people who say, well, these farms actually don't have an impact. having it's hard when you put the $600.00 millions of them together, they feed the entire content and that's very powerful. and that's why we should care about this one. supporting individual farmers. that's also important. small

farms produce around 35 percent of the world's food, despite using just 12 percent of all agricultural land. that means they are essential for our nutrition. one project that support small thomas is involved on camera room. the classroom in the north of camera room. and this calls from us use v r headsets to enter virtual fields and learn how to keep the real will it's cutting plants pest free fit to do for much on face types of training. let's farm is practiced new methods or is by being able to try them out. they understand the challenges better and kind of that quote, hold on you, a lender to me. how that was see how the whole p loans house will grow cotton from his parents. now he'd like to try new methods and expand his skill sets the v r headset, let's in train on the virtual cotton fields here. he can zoom closer to the plans in order to spots potential pest infestation. that's good, tom. the plants,
4:07 am
another valuable lesson from the causes that spiders, each caps up your loss, can be helpful for pest control. if i'm really big deal feels like you're inside the video on the fields and kind observe what's happened. that's the one that's being really helpful for us. for me is some of what we say. there's something in this virtual worlds the farm as also learn how to produce biological pesticide spray by mixing ground means seeds with lots of vegetable oil and a bit of the charge. and not only is it more eco friendly and less harmful to humans than chemical pesticides, but it's also much cheaper. all the techniques taught in v r precisely resembled re live situations you most if learning is also cheaper than regular training, as there are no costs for transport and accommodation. the camera reunion coupling expos company, so total also profits from well trained farmers
4:08 am
don't. well, but you can have the right to equipment do, but without the appropriate training we won't be able to produce good cotton. this education helps the farmers to improve the techniques and produce high quality costs that agree on the local to in order to be equipped for future challenges and to produce higher units on the quote in the fields. more and more farmers in cameroon. once who participates in the virtual training courses from peanut butter to frozen pizza? one product, that's in almost everything is palm oil. it has a great shelf life and can with them being seated. but it's also very controversial for assessing. come down with the full palm or plantations, which threatens animal species and the air we breathe. now that doesn't cell very equal friendly does it. but palm or actually requires much less the forest of area
4:09 am
than raped seat or site. it just needs to be sustainable. how can we check with a new app from indonesia? for example, indonesia is by far the largest palm or producer in the world. more than 60000000 people here work as pharmacy oil mill, parade's, us trade, us and the food industry. it's a long supply chain, and for true sustainability, every step needs to be benefits. once we pulled up from switzerland, co founded, quote, to you bought 2 of us since he always knew that's the concept. build the software for the fog and that order for the, for the 3, it has to be a holistic end to end system. very deliberate, a platform which helps create inputs supply yields farmers and to all take is the most up to the brands. verifying the data is key. to date, coach eva has registered more than a 120000 small hold up. com website and patients mean to be 0 alone at each farmer
4:10 am
has been interviewed by quotes of us though. so we have verification that the farm is not been protected. florida's not involved in deforestation over the past 10 years and that they do not exploit children. 10 said life at all today, coach eva has become a global company with 800 employees. its mission is to enable and ensure traceability at every stage of production, processing and sales. as more and more companies are looking to making the supply chain smaller, transparent. often the context starts with some multinational company, a brand coming to us. okay, please help us to my powers for flight check. the console base 10 company diversified. it's portfolio. these days it doesn't just cover palm or supply chains . but also the more than 1000000 producers of over 50 different raw materials from
4:11 am
across the globe with also signed on there are many apps for capital breed us farmers can use these to access data on the livestock on their smartphones. did you call also has a chat function where they can check directly with the best way marian's to connect people also and let and america were in f helps farmers sell their products by connecting them directly with customers. so they can all the produce straight from the farmers. many farms and columbia are located in remote areas. so transporting produce can be difficult, and small farmers don't have as many options for selling the crops, which makes it harder to own a fair and stable income. usually galindo and coming to what i most want to change this would that platform see and buckle. 6 when we saw on the predictive values and challenges, that is more of this game farmers face it,
4:12 am
we started to develop a solution and dig around solution for the farmers. and i mean them, i mean, we think about near sort of planting in which we can make farmers and customers before planting. customers can all the produce directly from the pharmacy and can now also choose how many plans should be grown for them. the crops can be delivered to them, but they can also be sold, all donates. it's of the start up isn't stopping as being a direct market. so 2600 small scale farming families live in columbia. and what tamala, the cool would like to see them profit from information and insights available on the platform. we use a i in different areas. and then what's important not logistic. we use a platform that use a to do or the deliveries in the various way. and we also use a i to give support to our farmers. i mean we process the typically 3 months. so
4:13 am
a platform and as our technical support can div information to the farmers, more dates, so it can hopefully lead to bits of trucks. these days see amber, cool, also deliveries to restaurant chains and companies. the aim is to make the small kids more assessable to small scale from us to now is the moment thing to mean technology and really closer. because we need to ring go pertaining this to the feeder, dumont today to generate jones working in the traps. 6 it's impressive how many support tools available for farmers these days. in the end there is no plan as be right. so we have to find ways to grow foods and protect our planets by changing our diets, at least a little and supporting these funding projects. each one of us can contribute to
4:14 am
a healthy, a well sustainable future. that's all for me. things and see you next time, the togetherness anniversary of the to julie zullie, the joy and click the living independent, arise to society is full of contrasts. and inequality is
4:15 am
a big many problems can only be solved by working together. yes, i think i pretend isn't misleading. what is home? how do we talk of the major issues about time? let's talk about the, there is a significant risk of human extinction from advancing our systems climate changes to your frontier. so from our series continued on d, w the to dig phone the phone, the shrill going to.
