Me to sundry to nobody here in the ugandan capital kampala well uganda like the rest of the world is to buckling the corner virus and while the looked on is slowly being lifted from sector to sector were still registering squad a number of new cases still the show must go on and well put together an interesting set of stories for you. With visit a man in ethiopia who help to bring clean water to his community. We also look at ways that dicta lives can be good and also bad for the environment.

To cover it in 1000. 00 has caused us to change the way we do many things like shopping for instance many wonder if it is still safe to do shopping busy Outdoor Markets or even on crowded streets that is partly why Online Shopping is common nowadays whether for clothes or groceries it is becoming boring these days also here in africa one company in zimbabwe for example they live as Fresh Produce and other items directly to your home now but helps called the spread of the virus as well as reduce the amount of food west. Zimbabwe maybe in lockdown but there isnt much social distancing it oldest market. And it too our cut to Business Hours means a large portion of the produce cant be sold and is going to waste. Any that one might enjoy working here we are risk of catching and spreading the virus but we have few options we need the money we do but these new. In order to bring Fresh Produce directly to the customer mussa see were founded the startup fresh in a box customers can order fruit and vegetables boxes on line and have no need to be at the crowded markets before the pinout make a team feel they want 120 orders a day now its more than 1000. And 15 u. S. Dollars for a standard vegetable box its still a bit of a luxury people having access to the internet now means that they can interact directly with us as farmers dont agree with us and vigilance and they can get the affordability to their homes and we can assist them getting rid of the vast amount of projects that we have on all forms.

One of the ethos of our company is to make sure that we have a very low Carbon Footprint in the everything that we do our packaging for example are really boxes form repurposed boxes from other industries so its been a great way of us keeping costs down keeping our box cost price down and also keeping the environment clean. Shopping online for Fresh Produce is not only convenient during the anomic but the Sustainable Way of managing the supply chain helps also to minimize food waste and food loss. The story from zimbabwe is an example of one way addict cunt contribute to environmentalists and good health but growing reliance on powerful computers and doctors it is also having some negative impact on our ecosystems with a growing number of Internet Users expected any think any time anywhere dichter lies ations ecological footprint will place a grettir pressure on unnatural systems lets take a look at a few funds. Online activity is soaring and dry can take server farms are using more and more electricity digitalization is leaving a huge environmental footprint. Today its already responsible for 3 to 4 percent of Global Carbon dioxide emissions. Thats more than all the e. U. s Waste Industry produces each year. Together Cloud Computer Digital Payment systems and online streaming require huge amounts of electricity. During the covered 19 pandemic millions of children and young people were affected by School Closures many of them had to take classes as well as socialize online. Now over 50 percent of the worlds population has access to the internet in 2911 the number of Internet Users grew by 7 percent and. If this trend continues digitalization will account for almost 8 percent of c o 2 emissions by 2025. On the cusp of the 4th Industrial Revolution an ever increasing number of processes are being automated in sectors like many fracturing and health care all that will require even more internet traffic. The Energy Transition to renewables is also a digital transmission green Tech Startups are working on Energy Efficient Digital Infrastructure to make production processes and Energy Consumption more sustainable. Digital data helps us better understand Climate Change and other environmental impacts on our ecosystems. Intelligent Traffic Management not only reduces the amount of harmful pollutants on the streets but can help to prevent gridlock Digital Technology could. Reduce global c o 2 emissions by 20 percent. Digitalization can be green but we need to get more of our power from sustainable sources to prevent Digital Technology from further increasing harmful emissions. And not to another day get a solution in this era of mass produced goods you dont or is know exactly what you are buying a lot of course medics for example contain micro plastics but what can you do to avoid them. Well doing your bit looks at. The content of the products before they buy them. It can provide detailed information about her to 1000000 different products maybe your sample is on that list. The shelves of shops and supermarkets are lined with products packaged in plastic but there are micro plastics hidden inside some products too especially cosmetics so how can consumers stay clear of products containing the tiny bits of plastic felt is now at hand with an app called coaching a barcode scanner and reveals a complete list of our products contents as well as an overall rating of its eco friendly. Ratings in the quarter actually based on experts like greenpeace w w f our friends of the earth also we have our own Scientific Team who writes products based on the latest Scientific Research available since 2016 the sweet startup develops the up in cooperation with the Environmental Group friends of the earth and in addition to cosmetics they can also be used to examine the ingredients in processed foods and cleaning products giving Health Conscious shoppers more confidence in their purchasing choices. And how about you if youre also doing your bit tell us about it visit our website or send us a tweet. Doing your bit. We share your stories. More on Digital Technology can be very useful in improving farming methods. You are young are grown almost in cote divoire has developed words are deployed to make farming more efficient and also more environmentally 1 friendly his company has specialized in what it calls d 1st station agriculture lets go see that. These tomato plantation is morny tugh not by far one cause but they are drawn over an area the size of a small football pitch east of the bornean point c. T. The draw idea was launched by a local startup set up by of about. He wants to use the new Surveillance Technology to make traditional farming more productive and more sustainable. Unfasten by example lets say a plot of land has an irrigation problem on one of its 5 fact thats something you cant make out with your own eyes but a drone can identify the area in question and that makes it easier to resolve the problem and at the same time increase your year that. You know that you and i mean really long after sitting off the drawing uses its comrade to create Digital Aerial mops these are entangling to a computer dont want the ground to take to. Other issues on plantations its part of a new i. T. Assisted form of farming called position agriculture. This. Means that we can use the technology to determine exactly where plants have been afflicted by a disease and instead of treating an entire person offline we can focus on the specific area actually affected. History and show for. Thats also good for the environment fewer pesticides mean healthier soil on less pollution on plantations. From a farm. Began working together with the startup about a year ago in addition to the environmental aspect he also sees another crucial advantage for his countrys agricultural industry. Then. We have a lot of land and a lot of options for expanding off our land but its physically demanding market and very tricky to implement which has put a lot of people off farming but this technology is extremely efficient and it can also tend to young people back to farming. The. Much of the day for us ration is done to provide space for huge new plantations ivory cost is the biggest cocoa producer in africa according to figures from the wild bank over the last half a century ivory cost has lost around 80 percent of its forests. Ordered by his own court and we are fighting the 1st question a lot of farmers think they need to 20 and i thought hard in order to ensure a big car vest but we show them how they can get similar yields with 100 or just 5000 square metres a little later the 2nd drawn is ready to take to the skies it has almost 10 liters of liquid best to say dont board which will be applied exactly where it is needed. Deploying drones also prevents damage to the plants roots from the heavy farming machines normally used. I think. With one drone you can spray 2 hecht is in under 12 minutes with conventional means youd need an entire day to cover one or 2 hectares. He now has a dozen strong team of pumping stuff i dont 40 customers are already using the farms lethal solution although attracting a plentiful wasnt easy at fast. The farming sector has been around for a long time when new technologies are introduced it takes a while for people to be convinced of the benefits with a cost of being a major fatah money timing from seed to harvest cost between food and 8000. 00 use which for many farmers initially seems a big but to the startups clinton now extending 2000000 senate gun drawn should be touching down father a theme to. How much do you know about so warms yes they are caterpillars of them are native to china and i used to produce so for centuries more silk was produced in asia but over time the practice spread now and as a Climate Crisis is forcing farmers to final tally. So farming is giving popularity in countries like. Cyclones they have the lives of marbury trees and they are giving hope to farmers in kenya here to the extreme weather patterns of recent years you dont know we know has turned to farming and this is the 26th the day and you can see the. Already spinning. They are making. You know what they have already reached this stage that. Stage. Yes so as the ice does they spin we have asked our quince the former Senior Research at the International Center of insecure geology and ecology started the silk venture and 2015 what is left for us in form of corns we shall subject it to post how this thing processes that includes the flow shown of the coke and you know removing their pupae inside so that we use the many part of it for producing that thread today you dont know we know owns our own 500000 margaret trees planted over 5 because. Many of the farmers in the region are following his example. To find a profitable crop to sustain their livelihood there ditching traditional cash crops such as coffee maize or sugar cane we havent been working. To develop technologies for this ilk. So that we can give seeds and appropriate under english and specific. Groups. Of villages where they cannot. Send for their calls and we are linking farmers markets. On your soup production amounts to approximately 2 metric tons of dried cochrans but the potential is far greater the amount of buried trees whose leaves the warms it brought to tyrant and resistant to the cord morcha sounesss pairing off sick ones for production of frost sick or sorry culture is becoming increasingly popular as a result we have. In the country and in kunduz where it is. Done isnt getting the production is in. China. Japan. And in india it is. So if you lead kenya and you continue to. See is also used in the manufacture of skin products contact lenses soaps and who have an organic products the National Sorry Culture Research center is country offering from a subsidy plants and mary berry cuttings are very subsidized rates and with the help of International Investors theyre also working to transfer money and help them identify markets. They may see. 100 as a goal to come had to been just to see if it is poltava ended after that. We study that lot of say culture and. To so now we have a High Technology and. Take culture but we cant use it because. Japan is too developed and also the crime rate the crime rates in the kenya is much better than japan to take culture and bad doctoring to the changing climatic conditions small scale firmest like you dont know we know how fond a way of sustaining their livelihoods. According to the World Health Organization about 2200000000 people around the world dont have access to save Drinking Water one region particularly hard hit is south africa where many people can only dream of having one award or anywhere near their home and it is for that very reason that after many years abroad engine ific do return to his native ethiopia to still want to talk in the Rural Communities in recognition of his own standing saugus he was awarded an International Prize on the base year. Like many people in rural ethiopia this mother of 7 doesnt have a water tap in her home until recently she and her family had to fetch their water from far away but now a water tap has been installed on a field just one minute away from where they live. My thought is that in the morning be fashed water and then we would go again as the evening and last year we started using the water nearby its cleaner and its improved our overall hygiene. In this region 250 kilometers west of ethiopias capital added 19 new water points have been installed. They provide locals with access to a reliable supply of clean water. The project was initiated by mechanical engineer for a car to a lake up he spent 16 years in germany as a political refugee but returned to ethiopia to contribute to his countrys development and Nature Conservation efforts. I was in would be in the Political Activities also 970 s. I had a problem with that region and then i leave the country and i came through germany as if you just as i was about to finish it. It was a regime change in ethiopia and i thought is it time to go home and to rid of the people because. People i mean. Outside the country and nobody would help as a country there are now fewer cases of worms and bacterial infections thanks to the new system it benefits not only humans but cattle too. We used to fetch water in the mud and we had many problems now water is accessible close to our home and we have regained our health and the health of our children to. Meet the burden of fetching water is often carried by children and particularly girls this girl does it about 3 times every day reducing the walking distances to water points improves the lives of children in many ways. Going to a distant place to teach whatever they dont have much time to do their homework because it would not be good in this school we seem to also get used to its not the place to fix whatever and it would be the abused by men and when it will fire forms at home another problem is logging trees a file for firewood or to make way for new fields the deforestation is a cause for concern you see. On the mountains there was a forest before the youth. With no trees to secure the soil it washes away with the seasonal rains this phenomenon called erosion stops the water from being kept in the ground. To tackle the threat of the russian the government has the villages dig trenches in the fields about it but thats not what i wanted. To know you cannot plan when you are. The lottery from the fields above will flow into trenches this will prevent soil of ocean and also reduce drought. On mt and total close to add is that terracing technique has already borne fruit that i can remember this Natural Spring was 1st discovered by clergymen working for emperor mentally in the late 19th century it was rehabilitated by ficarra to a lakers team and now provides more water than ever. We still have to stand in line but the amount of water has increased a lot before the water wasnt clean of wild animals cattle and humans are all using up together. These young indigenous trees were also planted by the community during the last rainy season in part to counter the adverse effects of the eucalyptus tree which flourishes here means you can produce a fast growing through from arthur idea that there are globs free by picking up the street is draining much whatever from the ground whatever we have submitted an application to remove this one and replace it by indigenous trees so we kind of more with that. Even if drought and deforestation continue to hamper access to water in rural areas. Has managed to improve the water supply for more than 55000 people in ethiopia. Im afraid weve run out of time for today we hold the shore has given you some useful information on how our Digital World does have some positive benefits for both people and environment wishing you good health in this difficult times to take care and good bye for now for me now in lagos nigeria.
