Emata is providing loans to African farmers to help them thrive
<p><a href="https://www.emata.ug/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Emata</a> is a fintech company, based in Uganda, that is providing loans to farmers. While farming represents 80% of the employment in that country, it only makes up only 30% of the economy. It’s extremely hard for farmers to break even–much less invest in their farms. Emata is changing economic circumstances for farmers by providing loans at a much lower interest rate than they are used to and doing it all through WhatsApp. In this episode, I speak to Bram and Lillian about why Emata is making such a big impact–with a 95% repayment rate–and the future of farming in Africa. I hope you enjoy!</p>

Dairy industry veterans bet that the future is cow-free
<p>Dennis and JT Cohlmia have been a part of the dairy industry for over 40 years. Their latest venture, <a href="https://striveforbetter.com/" target="_blank">Strive Nutrition</a>, is a pivot in a new direction that removes the cow from the equation. Strive Nutrition uses precision fermentation to create a bio-identical, animal-free whey protein isolate and cow-free milk. While vegan-friendly, this is not another rendition of plant-based milk. Instead, they partnered with <a href="https://perfectday.com/" target="_blank">Perfect Day</a> and use fermented microflora (instead of cows) to create dairy products (and non-dairy oat and almond milks) supplemented with their animal-free whey protein. </p> <p>There are lots of positive environmental upsides to creating dairy using precision fermentation. And plenty of nutritional benefits too. Because there are no animals used in the process, the supply chain is not reliant on a farm location and weather; factories can be hyperlocal. There are no methane emissions. And up to 96% less water is used.</p> <p>Dennis and JT believe this new category of "animal-free dairy" is a crucial part of curbing the environmental impact that factory dairy farming has on the environment. Ready to knock on doors and work through their retirement to make it happen, they believe this is the future of milk. </p> <p>Enjoy!</p> <p><br></p> <p>Show notes:</p> <ul> <li>Strive Nutrition's website: <a href="https://striveforbetter.com/">https://striveforbetter.com/</a></li> <li>For a great visual on the process of precision fermentation, check this out from Perfect Day: <a href="https://perfectday.com/process/" target="_blank">https://perfectday.com/process/</a></li> <li>Questions?

Is the future of pest control biologics and bees?
<p>Bee Vectoring Technologies (BVT) helps farmers achieve greater yields and fight pests with bees. In this episode, I chatted with founder, Ashish Malik, who wanted to create an agricultural solution that could support feeding the earth's growing population. BVT's technology starts in a 'smart hive', where bees dip their bodies in a non-toxic biological fungicide before going off to do their bee business. Bees pass the fungicide along to the plant 95% more efficiently than farmers' sprays--which means less fungicide is needed in the long run. Their proprietary fungicide technology, is known as a "biologic", or a living organism that can help fight off or deter agricultural pests. "Biologics" have become a recent buzzword in agriculture--even though the technology has actually been around for 20+ years. Enjoy the show!</p>
