saharan africa. kenyan startup 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 from us should have access to more data on the soil . the weather and future changes to the climates using the, the data we able to, to create to models and isn't. what else does that help us? you know, to, in this time, what is happening at the farm at any point in time for farm us like marketing when the 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
2:47 pm
data about that with a, with a little. if it didn't is going to come in the do not last long. it will be shut lazy, lou, lou. but it was in last 3 months, but yeah, across, if it is going to be longer and then you little we have going to be major of those plans that go for a longer period. i mean, he gave us with a and so it was a so from set to lights in space and analyzes this using a i. the company is based in nairobi since most satellites. i'm not directed towards gathering data from africa, guessing high quality and reliable data is challenging. i mean, you follow the kid kennedy wants to change this. we wanted to make sure that countries in the global sales 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's we see today, sort of technology africa, hasn't been able to capture that revolution because of the lack of high quality and
2:48 pm
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 leave a legacy to the african continent. so we hoping that as we continue to work with the students and 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 light data to improve. i mean, these machine learning system, the data can provide more information on the impact of climate change. and thus help the farmers on the grounds here small scale almost especially important to
2:49 pm
when i see people who say, well, these problem is actually don't have an impact to have an impact when you put 600 millions of them together and they saved the entire content and that's very powerful and that's why we should care about this on supporting individual farmers . that's also important. small farms produce around 75 percent of the world's food, despite using just 12 percent of all agricultural land. that means the essential for our nutrition. one project that support small farmers is in northern camera room. the classroom in the north of camera room. in this course, pharmacy use v r headsets to enter virtual fields and learn how to keep the real well it's cutting plants pest free fit to do for much on face types of training. let's farm is practice new methods or is by being able to try them out. they
2:50 pm
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 from the plants. another valuable lesson from the cost is that spiders each caps up your loss can be helpful for pest control. if i'm a big deal, feels like you're inside the video on the fields and kinda observe what's happened . that's the one that's being really helpful for us for me to come up with a do something in this virtual. well, the 5 most also learn how to produce biological pesticide spray by mixing ground mean seats with lots of vegetable oil and a bit of the charge. and not only is it more eco friendly and less harmful to
2:51 pm
humans than chemical pesticides, but it's also much cheaper. all the techniques taught in the are precisely resembled real life situations. the most if learning is also cheaper than regular training, as there are no costs for transport, and accommodation become a reunion coupling expos company. so total also profits from well trained farmers don't. well, but you can have the right to equipment, but without the appropriate training, we won't be able to produce good content. and then this education helps the farmers to improve the techniques and produce high quality costs. i agree on the bulk of don't in order to be equipped for future challenges and to produce higher a youth 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 full palm or plantations, which threatens animal species and z a, we brief. now that doesn't solve very equal friendly does it, but palm or actually requires much less the forest of area been rapes, eat, or sleep. it just needs to be sustainable. how can we check with the 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 operates of trade, us and in the food industry to get the loan supply chain. and so true sustainability, every step needs to be benefits. monthly, pulled up from switzerland's, co founded code to you bought to this end. he always knew that's the concept,
2:53 pm
build the software for the fog, and that order for the, for the 3, it has to be a holistic end to end system. so it'd be delivered 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 quote to you, but it has registered more than a 120000 small hold up. com website and patients mean do these, your loan at each farmer has been interviewed by called 2 of us though. so we have verification that the farm is not in protected forest, not involved in the for the station over the past 10 years. and that they do not exploit children can sit like that on their talk. 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
2:54 pm
chain small, transparent. often the context starts with some multinational company of brands coming to us. ok, please help us to my power supply chain. that's a 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 across the globe. with also signed on there are many apps for capital breed us. farmers can use these to access data on the live stock on their smartphones. did you call also has a chipped function, where they can check directly with veterinary ins to connect people also and let in america were in f helps farmers sell their products by connecting them directly with customers. so they can all to produce straight from the farm us. many farms in
2:55 pm
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 you regarding the incoming load. i'm also want to change this with the platform. see in blackboard. when we saw on the predictive barriers and challenges, that is more to escape farmers face it. we started to develop a solution and dig around solution for the farmers. and i mean, i mean, we think about near to start planting in which we can coordinate farmers and customize before branding. customers can all the produce directly from the pharmacist and can now also choose how many plans should be growing for them. the crops can be delivered to them, but they can also be sold or donated. but the start up isn't stopping as being a direct markets of 2600 small scale farming families live in columbia. and what
2:56 pm
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 watching 1st and not logistics. 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 a platform and as our technical support can div information to the farmers, more dates, so i can hopefully meet 2 bits of trucks these days see him, but i cool. also deliver to restaurant chains and companies. the aim is to make these markets more assessable to small scale from us to. now he's the moment thing to mean technology and really closer. because we need to bring opportunities to the feeder too much and great new generation working in the

cups. 6 it's impressive how many supporters available for farmers these days? in the end there is no plan is 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 farming projects. each one of us can contribute to a healthy, a well sustainable future. that's all for me. things and see you next time. the once they started, they develop an interest because they have grown at them says vegetables instead of
