# 93 More food even with climate change. 1:00:44

vor 10 Tagen1:00:44

1:00:44

What is the problem ? We have to increase food production in the face of climate change , we have to make vulnerable communities resilient and we have to do all this without increasing emissions. What is the solution ? There are numerous climate smart technologies and practices. What is the evidence? There are several examples in the ASEAN region where food production is increasing in the face of climate change even as producers adopt sustainable practices. What is the caveat? People need to be convinced about the economic benefits of sustainable solutions What should organisations do ? Banks should discuss sustainability with their clients, Companies need to work on sustainable supply chains and NGOs need to support small producers to make more money through sustainable practices. Sections Section 1: First 10 minutes : Getting to know Srinivasan. Section 2: Next 20 minutes: about the impacts of ADB’s projects. Section 3: Last 30 minutes about the lessons from ADB’s projects. Host: Sanjoy Sanyal Founder Regain Paradise www.regainparadise.org Co-Host : Jaideep Prabhu Professor of Business, University of Cambridge Guest : Srinivasan Ancha Principal Climate Change Specialist of the Asian Development Bank. https://www.linkedin.com/in/srinivasan-ancha-44941211/ asrinivasan2009@gmail.com Date : 13/03/2025…

What is the problem ? The amount of water available for irrigation and livestock is reducing. Safe drinking water is also not available in many parts of the world. What is the solution ? Getting to the root of the problem, identifying the causes, adopting locally specific interventions and involving the community. What is the evidence ? Even in the areas of Bangladesh where saline water from the sea is creeping in it is possible to have enough fresh water and grow more food. What is the caveat ? There is a propensity on the part of governments to deploy large infrastructural projects which add to the problem. What should organisations do ? Deploy appropriate solutions and keep vigil. Its easy to slip back. Think processes not projects. Sections Section 1: First 9 minutes : Getting to know Andrew and learning about his work. Section 2: Next 9 minutes: About the problem Section 3: Last 35minutes : About the lessons from Andrew’s projects.

# 91 Demystifying agroforestry 1:00:09

vor 8 weeks1:00:09

1:00:09

What is the problem ? Agricultural practices is depleting the soil fertility and making farming unproductive. What is the solution ? Regenerative farming , integrating trees and livestock in farming operations. Integrating trees is called agro forestry. What is the evidence? Agroforestry has worked in Africa (Niger, Zambia), Asia (China and India), South America (Argentina) and Western nations as well. What is the caveat? There is no one “miracle tree” and “no one miracle practice”. It all depends on the context. Top down approaches don’t help. What should organisations do ? NGOs and agricultural support organisations should help farmers adopt these practices. Sections Section 1: First 14 minutes : Getting to know Patrick and understanding all the terms. Section 2: Next 35 minutes: about the why and the how of agro forestry. Section 3: Last five minutes about what is not broken about the world food system Host: S anjoy Sanyal , Founder Regain Paradise www.regainparadise.org Guest: Patrick Worms, Senior Science Policy Adviser for the World Agroforestry Centre https://www.linkedin.com/in/pworms/ https://www.cifor-icraf.org/…

# 89 AI is riding on digital innovations 58:52

vor 14 weeks58:52

58:52

Digital innovation in agriculture is already bringing solutions to farmers that helps them use their mobile phones to obtain a range of useful services. They can get information about product prices and advice on pest control. They can also buy farm inputs as well sell their products. Almost always underbanked, they can also get credit. Is AI adding an extra fizz to these solutions? We discussed with Daniele Tricarico about the GSMA report AI for Africa: Use cases delivering impact. We learnt that AI is adding an extra layer of additional benefits to these existing solutions and also helping develop some new solutions (such as better weather predictions and tracking food security). Both machine learning and generative AI are being used in these applications. Grant capital is available to develop initial pilots. Local talent who knows the agricultural landscape and brainy young people who work on the data and the programming are there as well. Companies are working around the problem of lack of data. Partnerships of start-ups with large IT companies and with mobile networks is critical to deployment of solutions.

Too much food is wasted by consumers. Reducing this wastage is important. It is good for the climate and for one’s own wallet, not to mention the conscience. Everybody agrees that it is important and yet reducing food waste is hard. People waste food not because they don’t care but often they do not know better ways to buy, store, cook and eat. Luckily, there are a whole set of tools from the discipline of psychology to help people become aware and have the right skills and behaviour. Dr. Sophie Attwood behavioural scientist and a thought leader on sustainable food and heath choices. She holds a doctorate degree from the University of Cambridge and has worked with the global think tank WRI. In the podcast she also touches upon how companies who are developing solutions for the problem of food waste and selling plant based meats could market their products. Sections Section 1: First 8 minutes : introduction Section 2: Next 34 minutes about food waste: how much, why and how to solve the problem? Section 3 : Last 6 minutes about plant based meats.

# 86 What is climate consciousness? 41:50

Rabindranath Tagore, who won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1913 was also a leading thinker on education. The central tenets of his thoughts on education were learning among nature, striking a balance of the arts and science in the curriculum and internalising a spirit of internationalism. Tagore was also a practical man and he put his ideas in action by setting up a school for children and an University. His ideas on education are key to creating the consciousness that is needed for to solve the climate crisis and (if we ever get out of this mess) avoid creating a similar crisis again. AI may help in reviving Tagore’s thoughts in the 21st century. Section Section 1: First 20 minutes about Tagore’s thoughts on education. Section 2: Next 20 minutes about how Tagore implemented his ideas on education.

In Kenya there has been droughts for the last four out of 5 seasons. Most farmers depend only rains and are very vulnerable to changing weather. SunCulture provides irrigation solution to small holder farmers. The challenge is to make the product affordable to farmers. This means right sizing the pumps, working with suppliers to reduce costs and providing financing solutions. It also means using subsidies such as results based financing and carbon credits efficiently. Hack Stiernblad is the Chief Growth Officer of SunCulture responsible for market expansion and raising donor funds. SunCulture provides solar irrigation solutions to farmers in Kenya and is now expanding to Uganda and Côte d'Ivoire. Sections Section 1: First 7 minutes about Hack and SunCulture.

Financial institutions have to take into both short term and long term horizons in assessing climate risks. This is not easy for banks in the emerging world. It requires expertise, access to data and new management processes. In this podcast, Rutang and myself explain the types of climate risks and we demystify climate risk scenarios which help financial institutions straddle these time horizons. Then we apply the concepts to banks in four emerging countries. Dr. Rutang Thanawalla is a risk assessment expert for financial institutions with experience across global commercial banks, credit rating agencies and consultancies. He now focuses on climate risks and sustainability finance. Sections Section 1: First 10 minutes introductions and climate risks. Section 2: Next 13 minutes about climate risk scenarios.

With climate change El Nino droughts will become more frequent and more intense. To be fore warned is to be fore armed. Warnings will have to be taken seriously and farmers should not plant their seeds hoping that rains will come only to face a total crop failure.

Seychelles is the richest country in Africa but as a small island country it is also being impacted severely by climate change. Sadly it is not just climate changed caused by humanity as a whole, it is the damage to the environment that is caused by the individuals living in and visiting the islands.
