How rose farms in Kenya are using AI to battle climate change | BBC News 

Keep it up KENYA ❤

I once visited Kericho and was amazed with horticulture and tea growing

Roses are red, violets are blue, Kenya's drones dance, a remarkable crew.

Kudos Vasha. Kudos Lima Labs. Kudos Kenya. Kudos Shiona McCallum. Kudos BBC.

Why are people salty on this comment section? You are used to documentaries of how African countries are suffering in poverty that you don't believe news on an African country that is prospering? Kenya is richer than most East European countries for your information, if it was a member of the EU it would not be the poorest.

My Country Kenya..Am so proud 🦚

Proudly Kenyan, I really enjoyed the interview💯

Thank you BBC. Kenya has always led in Horticulture. Without Kenya, the UK lovebirds, during valentine, might have had to use leaves as flower-replacement.

My sincere thanks for sharing it 🙏🏼

Amazing & beautiful!

Please grow flowers where you live and where you work, as part of a diverse landscape that will be healthy for pollinators, wildlife, people, and the planet 🙏

computing on the edge would make the process even faster, we would love to have a contact at Lima labs

Beautiful place🌹

those flowerfarm use so much water that local societies have a hard time with their wells.

Love it ❤

Save Our Planet

Would it make more sense to produce rose oil? It was $200 oz for awhile… or maybe freeze dry roses for arrangements and ship direct to consumers.

Wow, thats really cool. This could come in handy

Good Industry also needs back up. Building dams in poor countries is a good idea. Specially in deserts.

how? bbc gets free flowers

Impressive 😮😮😮

The weather is being manipulated and cloud seeding is used to destroy crops.

They must be trained in special solutions.

Scam. Too many buzzwords that don't go together

is this kind of reporting really what we're paying our licence fee for, meanwhile the bbc cut's back on programming for ordinary people !

Nice❤

Fascinating

Just amazing

Why are most of the top commenters subbed to each other, smells fishy

Beautiful

One would have thought the growing of food would have priority over roses in Africa.

Just Awesome

Hello, my name is Jazaeri, I live in Stuttgart in Germany, I know that you are in England and have nothing to do with Germany, but as a human being I ask you to help me, I came to Stuttgart in 2008 and at that time temporarily Employment agencies tried to set me up as a sex object with old bisexual passive men and as a reward I was allowed to have a job, but I didn't want to live with that shame, it's been 16 years since they harassed me and demanded that I make a mistake on purpose , because I saw vulnerability instead of Stuttgart, in Stuttgart it is like sex mafia and abuse of foreigners, rather prosecutors and police are also in this mafia, I have written everywhere, but my complaint has no effect, I ask If you oppress Germany and the Demand the restoration of democracy. I thank you and hope that you can help me thanks to humanity. Best regards Jazaeri

BBc good night

Sooo, every technology we've had for decades is now called AI?? LOL ...climate change?? Lolololol

🥀I believe this is the greatest gift we can give each other as human beings, this sacred field of unconditional friendship where we allow each other to be imperfect. It is the space in which we give up trying to fix each other and instead listen with our entire being. It is the space in which true relaxation can happen, where the frazzled nervous system can breathe a sigh of relief… -Matt Licata❤️

Maybe artificial intelligence will also help us fight woke madness

This is one off biggest in world ....startet by an indian mann

Nice way

So how much wild life and their habitats were lost for the building of all these fields ?

so artificial intelligence should control our food and flower agricultures instead of humans?

Utter nonsense.

What's the point? Those Roses are then loaded onto boats and trucks and then shipped halfway around the world in a couple of days for sale. Defeats the object. Not to mention all the power needed to run the AI servers and their banks of GPU's.

Since when has using ai helped with climate change isn't it electronic with emissions.

Title should've been: "Monoculture pesticide-heavy farms get bigger and proliferate water pollution by dumping pesticides all over your lovely flowers...enjoy the smell of your non-organic imported (via diesel-guzzling ships) because this story was total nonsense..." As a side note, I'd love to see what race the "owners" of that flower farm are...

😃👏

Mercy kitur stop lying and some jobs have been lost

In Aldi next door (a European country), you can get Kenyan white roses, I bought them twice, they are beautiful, but they have no scent. I will never buy again. What is its ecological footprint? And I think it would be better if they produced food for their own people!

Is this one of the farms moved out of the EU because of regulations & cost? Does AI offset the environmental impact of having to transport products half way around the world? 🤔 Oh, wait... it's the bbc.

Climate change in Kenya affecting the industry growing scentless roses to ship half way across the world.. artificial intelligence might tell you when to waste... common sense tells you that the problem is growing flowers on another continent and having to transport them to the market was the problem in the first place! 🤷🤦 We managed without for most of human history... it's not exactly a vital necessity to justify the pollution that's causing the climate change that's making it harder to grow the crop to ship across the world adding to the climate change that's making it harder to grow the crop,...........

yea ok climate change... drought so plant roses huh? oh heavy rains killing the roses huh?

Exactly what fossils fuels are absolutely needed for [NOT] Maybe there would be less climate change if ruddy flowers are not flying 'first class' all over the world?

Artificial intelligence to fight an Artificial crisis😂😂

Again, "climate change"?! Enough of this bull.

OT: Benny Hill considered funnier than Monty Python by two TV stations --WOR and WLVI!

what is up with these African beats, like c'mon it's 2024

Largest flower producers and exporters: 1 🇳🇱 Netherlands $5.7B 2 🇨🇴 Colombia $1.7B 3 🇪🇨 Ecuador $927.3M 4 🇰🇪 Kenya $725.5M 5 🇪🇹 Ethiopia $254.5M 6 🇧🇪 Belgium $150.0M 7 🇮🇹 Italy $140.9M 8 🇨🇳 China$124.6M 9 🇲🇾 Malaysia $90.5M 10 🇨🇦 Canada $82.0M

The monoculture of flowers is massively damaging to the environment in itself. Not to mention (I'm going to mention) tge wastefulness of flying dead flowers around the world.

Because, of course, we *must* buy flowers - It's Valentine's Day, after all! The world is starving, but *we* are buying roses. Thank you, Hallmark! How sweet. 🙄

So. Buying these adds to Carbon burden. Kenya is suffering from climate change .. ?

Corn fed animals are also better than grass fed ones. It seems Lab produced meat would replace the natural availability of meat coz of climate change. The innovation in technology is taking us to new heights. 💁🏻‍♂️

웃긴게 뭐냐면 조폭들은 매번 경찰한테 이번엔 진짜 아니라니까요 증거있어요 하다가 여기 하면 사실은 이게 어떻게 된거냐면요 하면서 사실을 이야기하는데 증거가 있을때만 그렇다는거

The climate is always changing ffs Bed wetters

Black people being virtuous. The BBC loves nothing better🤣🤣

With all this Hi tech at their disposal Kenya does not look like it needs foreign aid money.

The starving to death Brits will love this story!

গরিব দেশে ফুল চাষ বোকামি ছাড়া কিছু না,এটার চেয়ে ফসল উৎপাদন করা বেশি জরুরি আমি মনে করি।

Industrialization like the Henry Ford assembly line….. human capital, especially in farming, is the most expensive overhead… also coupled with a more conscious buyer, end consumer thru export distribution routes, will see shrinkage as long as the “consumerism” deconstruction facade continues By the law of natural market conditions & supply chain disruption Kenyan women 1st 🫢

Thank you BBC. Kenya has always led in Horticulture. Without Kenya, the UK lovebirds might have had to use leaves as flower-replacement.
