Episode Synopsis
Welcome to the third episode of the COP27 Mini Series for Hali Hewa Podcast with your host Abigael Kima.
Throughout COP27, we will be doing a mini-series interviewing people from across the globe on issues that matter to them as the negotiations progress.
Today, we are joined by an amazing guest.
Helina Teklu is an architect, graphic designer, environmental activist and works on women empowerment. She is currently the CEO/Co-Founder of Seed Balls Ethiopia's seed ball manufacturer that provides affordable, fast growing, lightweight and easily to make seed balls that will help increase farmer’s productivity and reforest the deforested parts of Ethiopia and through time, Africa. She is also Earth Champion for Climate Change, Climate Reality Leader, Blogger for Sunsilk Ethiopia.
In this episode, she talks passionately about her project - Seed Balls Ethiopia and how they are using this to increase forest cover in areas that are difficult to access and how farmers are also benefiting from this. She shares her frustration on the absence of African based research done by Africans here at COP on agriculture because most African countries have agriculture as the backbone of their economies.
She signs off the show by calling for support to amplify this work across Africa.
Enjoy the show!
