A new way to farm indoors using different wavelengths of light could boost the taste of fruit 🍎 & salads 🥬, while increasing food supply & nutritional value. Extra benefits: less land, fertilisers, energy ⚡️& water 💧 needed to cultivate the plants 👉 horizon-magazine.eu/article/indoor…

By teaching vulnerable women to upcycle discarded textiles, this SWITCH-Asia proj in #India is contributing to improve the livelihoods of thousands of poor uneducated women while recycling textiles & reducing plastic bag consumption in #Udaipur ! twitter.com/ziyuusan/statu…
Silvia Sartori@ziyuusan

When I first met these women in #Rajasthan in 2015 they had hardly any education, no personal income nor mobility. Now they can produce bags from discarded textiles + earn an income + travel & their bags are replacing plastic bags in #Udaipur! #noplasticbag #WomensEmpowerment
