Speaking of, let's get into today's solutions.
People Fixing the World.
Welcome to your home of solutions, people fixing the world from the BBC World Service.
This is a program that travels the world to hear about new ideas changing people's lives.
I'm Myra Anubi and this week I'm taking you back to the warm heart of Africa, Malawi.
Now this year we've heard some innovative things from the country around education and recycling but today we're talking about farming and hearing about a technique that could play a big role in helping to feed the population.
Moving around in Malawi is like driving through green carpeted fields.
The country has a very big farming population, around 80% in fact.
Despite this, Malawi finds it hard to feed its growing nation.
The World Food Program even say that a quarter of the population is chronically food insecure.
Now there are many reasons why farming isn't doing so well in Malawi,
including extreme weather, exacerbated by climate change,
leading to droughts and devastating cyclones.
So improving the yield for farmers and making crops more resilient to changing weather is absolutely vital.
And today,
I'm taking you to the north of the country to hear how a new farming technique and some smart technology is increasing farmers' yields and transforming people's lives.
I'm traveling on a very bumpy and very dusty road.
