Malian architect fights climate change with digital greenhouse

KATIBOUGOU, Mali - Climate change has made growing vegetables in Mali today much tougher than it was 40 years ago when Amadou Sidibe used to visit his father’s lush farm outside the capital Bamako.

Inspired by his family’s gardening history, and by technology he had come across during business trips in Israel, Sidibe in 2011 began developing Mali’s first automated greenhouse - a hectare-wide metal and plastic structure that looms over the low surrounding scrub, the only vegetation that grows reliably under Mali’s blistering sun.

It is a sight that occurs naturally less and less across the Sahel, the band of arid land that runs west to east at the Sahara Desert’s southern edge. Temperature increases here are some of the worst in the world and the impact is seen by experts as one of the major root causes of displacement, poverty and violence.

棚を作ってデスクワーク風な農園があるといよね。ローラーのついた椅子を横へ移動させていくだけで収穫ができるようになるから。

Don’t accept your lazy premise

The world 🌎 would have a food surplus if it didn’t waste so much food 🚛 Food grows from the earth 🥬 God made the world with enough earth to grow 🌱 the problem is mismanagement 🥥🥦🍈

Dont we already have those in the US?

If every African plants one tree every day or at least twice a week that would make a big difference for the future, considering the African Population growth..

That’s fantastic!!!!

But it’s got great vegetation climate naturally (aside for the obvious).

Wtf, the temperature in Mali is between 25c during winter and 45c during summer. Is he cooling the greenhouse in the summer?

40 years ago I had a fully automated closet producing year-round high-quality cannabis buds - shoulda patented it obvs ....
