For smallholder farmers in India, agriculture has long been an unreliable source of income — crops that flourish one season can fail the next, thanks to heat, pests and disease. But climate risk is now making the profession nearly impossible. TED Fellow Sathya Raghu Mokkapati is determined to change that with “greenhouse-in-a-box”: a small, low-cost, easy-to-build structure aimed at helping farmers weather sizzling summers, increase monthly revenues and grow more food with less water.
Countdown is TED’s global initiative to accelerate solutions to the climate crisis. The goal: to build a better future by cutting greenhouse gas emissions in half by 2030, in the race to a zero-carbon world. Get involved at

Thank you, thank you, thank you. You show your humanity. Climate change cannot be solved quickly, so your solution for individual farmers is so valuable!

Are those ‘high quality seeds’ Monsanto seeds? I hope not, because it erases all the benefits of this.
Plus I’m not super into the whole loan talk. Just help people, don’t indebt them.

Use OP seeds, initially. High quality can come from older genetics. Older genetics, high quality = success.

The root cause of poverty in India would have to be lack of education in the different classes but most importantly the caste system imposed by the culture. Abolish the caste system and you can improve peoples lives

Ur “god” is an unproven claim. Also, don’t u state that ur deity doesn’t interfere?

Yeah, this is all because of God. He kept that memory of a farmer eating mud in your head for years to motivate you and then sent you guys to help those small farmers. 😅

Yang mulia,
Bpk. President.. 🇺🇳🇺🇳
Mr. ABDULLA SHAHID.
Aku seorang Gadis yang cantik dan Manis.
Aku juga admin. Kayak layaknya mereka Gadis Indonesia umumnya.
…
Bpk. President..
Setelah aku baca Sejarah,
Mengapa Peristiwa-Berdarah selalu dimulai dari Europe?
– World War I
– World War II
tambah lagi Europe: Mereka menyalakan Perang dalam Cold-War/ Perang dinging, antara Soviets dan USA.
Kita pun secara tidak langsung, ikut terpengaruh dalam tragedy itu. Mengapa?
—
Tuan Presiden..
Bisnis mereka adalah Peperangan.
Ya, dan Bagaimana tidak!
Perdagangan mereka adalah; SENJATA, BOM,
AMUNISI, dan PELEDAK.
Sejatinya, merekalah: Perusak Bumi yang SEBENARNYA.
Kemungkinan ya, Mereka akan meraup banyak UNTUNG
dalam tiap – tiap peperarang itu.
Namun, mengapa??
– mereka menuding secara luas,
bahwa:
” AGAMA adalah BIANG dari misi Perang-Dunia. ”
” AGAMA adalah Sumber penyebab
dalam Conflicts berdarah berikutnya. ”
Sungguh,
Anggapan yang demikian, tidaklah selamanya benar!.
Argument mereka, nampaknya Keliru.
serta Ucapan mereka, ‘ hanyalah Omong Kosong.’
Ketahuilah, setiap # Agama mengajarkan
Kedamaian, mengatakan kebenaran bahwa:
Membunuh satu orang tak bersalah,
Sama halnya, merusak bumi dan membunuh umat Keseluruhan.
Justru, # Agama sebagai soluti
Tuhan menurun kan # KITAB SUCI.
dan # PeranAgama di # Bumi🌎🌏🌍,
itulah # Solusi.
Thank you | Terimakasih.
dan Salam Sehat!.
We love you.
🙂
