Why sound science alone cannot save our climate
In short: Entrepreneur Yi Li set out to build 1,000 climate-smart farms in Kenya using proven methods. However, she discovered that even the most scientifically robust environmental solutions can fail without one critical, overlooked ingredient.
While implementing infrastructure like dams, irrigation, and organic fertilizers, Li found that reality often complicates scientific models. Her journey with Farmworks highlights a fundamental challenge to the environmental movement: the assumption that technical and scientific accuracy is sufficient for long-term success. The video explores the gap between designing effective climate-smart systems and ensuring they create a lasting, real-world impact.
