Agritech in Uzbekistan: helping small-scale farmers recover from communist farming methods

Uzbekistan is tackling the many problems it faces in farming and agriculture with the help of technology. During its time as part of the Soviet Union, the country was forced to grow cotton which led to major environmental problems. The country has 5.5 million smallholders, many of whom are women. A new digital platform called Growz is creating tech solutions for smarter and more sustainable farming as well as allowing the farmers easier access to customers and suppliers. Murod Khusanov, the founder and CEO of Growz, was at Web Summit Doha and spoke to editor Ania.

Generating Power from Gravity

In the last of his series of reports from the Consumer Electronics Show, Jez Donaldson reports on a technology that generates power from Gravity – he’s on the show to explain how it all works.

The programme is presented by Gareth Mitchell and the studio expert is Chhavi Sachdev.
