In order to bring Fresh Produce directly to the customer. 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 panamic a team filled about 120. 00 orders a day now its more than 1000. 00.

The story from zimbabwe is an example of one way addicted contribute to environmentalists reduction 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 dicta lies ations ecological footprint will place a grettir pressure on our Natural Systems lets take a look at a few funds. Online activity is soaring and gigantic 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 ComputingDigital Payment systems and online streaming require huge amounts of electricity. During the coded 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. 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 manufacturing and healthcare all of that will require even more internet traffic in. The Energy Transition to renewables is also a Digital Transition green Tech Startups are working on Energy EfficientDigital 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 Digital Solution in this era of mass produced goods you dont already know exactly what you are buying a lot of course medics for example contain micro plastics but what can you do to point them. Well doing your bit look up. The contents of the products before they buy them. It can provide detailed information on about her to 1000000 different products maybe your sample is on badly.

Rating in the quarter actually based on experts ally greenpeace w w f are friends of the earth also we have our own Scientific Team who are its products based on latest Scientific Research available since 2016 the swiss startup developed up in cooperation with the Environmental Group friends of the air. And in addition to const magic. They can also be used to examining gradients in processed foods and cleaning products giving Health Conscious shop is more confident 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. Hash tag doing your bit. We share your stories. Modern Digital Technology can be very useful in improving farming methods to our young agronomist in could have one has developed a will to deploy drones to make farming more efficient and also more environmentally friendly his company has specialized in what it calls for a cessation agriculture lets go see this. Thanks these tomato plantation is morny tug not by far one cause but they are drawn over an area the size of a small football pitch east of the bornean port city of vision. The dream idea was launched by a local startup set up by. He wants to use the new Surveillance Technology to make traditional farming more productive and more sustainable. By example lets say a plot of land has an irrigation problem when one of its 5 hacked heads yes 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. By you know that youre and i mean really a lot of after sitting off the draw news is its come around to create Digital Aerial ops these are in turn related to a computer dom on the ground to detect larry to use or other issues on plantations its part of a new i. T. Assisted form of farming called position agriculture. So everything you say is visiting it means that we can use the technology to determine exactly where plants are being affected by a disease and instead of treating an entire part of a front we can focus on the specific area actually affected. My theory on using his urine sure for sure path if youre doing it thats also good for the environment fewer pesticides mean healthier soil on less pollution on plantations. From a fungus and what began walking together with the start up 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 us pleasure in the way they provide. Much of the day for us ration is done to provide space for luge 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. Or we are fighting deforestation a lot of farmers think they need to 20 i thought in order to ensure a big carving but we show them how they can get similar with one hectare or just 5000 square metres a little later the 2nd drone is ready to take to the skies it has almost 10 liters of liquid best to say than void 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 can go and buy them with one drawn you can spray to hector has them 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 prominent stuff i dont 40 customers already using their farms Digital Solution although attracting a clinton will 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 course between food and 8 housing news which for many families initially seems a big but to the startups clinton now extending 2000000 senate gun drawn should be touching down father a field to. How much do you know about so warm 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 proctors spread now and as a Climate Crisis is forcing farmers to find alternatives to poor crops so farming is giving popularity in countries like kenya. Cyclones theyre not the leaves of marbury trees and theyre giving hope to farmers in kenya due 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.

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 theyre married people can only dream of having one awards or anywhere near their home and it is for that very reason that after many years abroad in geneva fick 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 of this 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. In the morning to be fashed water and then we would go again in the evening and last year we started using the water guy its cleaner and its improved our order of hygiene. In this region 250 kilometers west of ethiopias capital addis ababa 9000 new water points have been installed. They provide locals with access to a reliable supply of clean water. And. The project was initiated by mechanical engineer for a car to a lake. 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 awarded in the Political Activities of the 970 s. I had a problem with that region and then i left the country and i came to germany as if you just as i was about to finish it. It was a regime change in ethiopia and i told the 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 and then lot 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 if she going to a distant place to teach whatever they dont have time to do their homework because it would not be good in the school we send or to get used to its not the place. And it would be he abused by men and it will fire forms at home another problem is logging trees a fell 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 a russian the government has the villages dig trenches in the fields but that is not much but about a. Plan when you are. The water from the fields above will flow into trenches this will prevent silent motion and also reduce drought. On mount and total close to address the terracing technique has already borne fruit and 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 and wild animals cattle and humans were all using it together. These young indigenous trees were also planted by the community during the last rainy season in part to counter the adverse effect of the eucalyptus tree which flourishes here means you can produce a fast growing through from arthur area there are globs pre about 3 clubs is draining much water from the ground whatever we have submitted an application to remove this one and replace it by indigenous trees so we kind of. 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.
