Ugandan veterinarian and smallholder farmer Emma Naluyima practices a unique and highly effective blend of integrated farming. In this delightful talk, she explains how she does this on just one acre of land, or about four thousand square metres. In four different quarters, she cleverly manages to integrate the production of cows, pigs, chickens, fish, vegetables, fruits, and fodder, in a sustainable, circular production system that wastes nothing. To cap it all, with profits from the farm, she has managed to build, on the premises, a school that pays it forward by teaching the local children much-needed life skills. These include important lessons about what happens if we optimise every single bit of what little we might have.
Emma is known for being an innovative farmer with skills in veterinary, piggery, fishery, vegetables, training and capacity building. Her ingenuity has earned her several awards in her native Uganda, and globally. She holds a Masters of Health Services Research, and a BSc Veterinary Medicine, both from Makerere University in Uganda. She has collaborated with the University of Wisconsin, with students visiting her farm for training every year since 2014. Emma has served as Chairman of Red Cross Mbarara and has written several op-eds published in the Guardian, Mail and The East African. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx

These genuine Bolga baskets are exclusively woven by the indigenous Gurune people (also known as Frafra) around the town of Bolgatanga in Northern Ghana.
Bolga is the crafts center of Northern Ghana. For many generations, weaving has been a traditional skill of the people there. The soil around Bolgatanga is not fertile enough for extensive agricultural activities. As a result, handicraft activities such as basket weaving, leather work, and pottery are undertaken mostly by women to supplement their incomes since they are primarily subsistence farmers.
The creation of these Bolga baskets is a complex process that captures the exquisite skill of the weavers.

First, veta vera straw, known locally as kinkahe, is collected from the tops of the grass stalks, then each piece is split in half vertically.
Once the straw is split, it is then twisted back together to give it strength.
At this point the straw is put in bunches and dyed in boiling water. For bright colors the straw is dyed yellow first, then the color.
After coloring, the weaver carefully selects appropriate straw for the base, sides and handle. The selection of the proper grass for various parts of the basket is critical to good weaving.
Weaving starts at the base and works up to the rim. The rims are generally finished flat, or wrapped with straw to form a rounded edge.
Once the rims are finished, the handle will be created, attached, and customized. Handles are made with a sturdy wrapping technique around a grass core.
Hundreds of remaining bits of straw that are sticking out of the basket are carefully trimmed off.
Leather handles are skillfully applied by local leather workers.
A medium basket takes about 3 days to complete. Some shapes and patterns are more difficult to weave and take longer.
