New report spotlights 'transformative' farming method to grow more with less: 'The results are significant'
A unique approach that combines solar energy with traditional farming practices is delivering remarkable results that might help to reshape agriculture forever. Off-grid solar technology now powers everything from irrigation pumps to grain mills on small farms, creating dual income streams that also boost food production, according to an article in ESI Africa. This dual innovation is helping to tackle one of the world's biggest challenges: feeding a growing population while protecting the planet's health. Global food demand could surge by over 50% by 2050, according to research published in Nature Food, straining already limited water and energy resources. Traditional farming often relies on expensive diesel generators and struggles without reliable power resources, especially in remote areas in Africa, where 240 million people face daily hunger, according to ESI Africa. With solar-powered energy, farmers install panels that generate clean electricity for things like pumping water, cooling crops, and processing grains — maximizing every acre's potential and creating multiple revenue resources along the way. The breakthrough came about from extensive collaboration between GOGLA and Water and Energy for Food across 15 African countries. Between November 2021 and July 2023, researchers worked directly with small farms to deploy solar irrigation systems, refrigeration units, and processing equipment. Organizations implemented a pay-as-you-go structure that allows farmers to purchase solar technology via small monthly payments. "The results are significant and indicative of the transformative effects off-grid energy could have on agriculture," according to the piece. The initiative benefited 3.6 million people and helped grow 6.8 million tons of food. Farmers saved 1.2 billion kilowatt-hours of energy, reducing water consumption by 10.8 billion liters. The initiative also prevented 1.5 million tons of harmful carbon pollution from entering the atmosphere. Every participating company increased its revenue, with eight businesses expanding distribution to serve new regions. $13.7 million was also raised in additional funding. What's the biggest obstacle stopping your organization from using solar panels? They're too expensive Don't know where to start They're an eyesore We already use solar panels Click your choice to see results and speak your mind. Harnessing solar makes farming more reliable (and profitable) while helping the planet be healthier: diesel generators produce toxic fumes that can cause respiratory problems. Solar panels don't produce air pollution when generating electricity, creating cleaner environments for agricultural communities. GOGLA continues to expand its partnerships across Africa and Asia, with self-powered farming poised to transform agricultural practices worldwide. Farmers will be able to harvest both sunshine and grains from the same acres, conserving other energy resources at the same time. These dual-use systems can help to feed the growing population, reduce pollution, improve our health, and empower rural communities to thrive.

SA tech legal battles are exploding — our courts aren't built for this
Disputes over software failures, data breaches, and intellectual property rights are clogging courtrooms and arbitration panels. This litigation boom exposes a critical gap in South Africa's legal framework, argues Roger Wakefield of Werkmans Attorneys. South Africa's digital transformation is rewriting the rules of its economy, propelling the nation into a tech-driven future. With the IT market forecast to hit $24.5 billion by 2026, growing at a brisk 7.2% annually (Statista, 2024), industries from fintech to healthcare are reaping the rewards of innovation. Yet, this technological surge is spawning a less celebrated byproduct: a dramatic rise in IT-related litigation. As businesses lean on complex IT systems, disputes over software failures, data breaches, and intellectual property (IP) rights are clogging courtrooms and arbitration panels. This litigation boom exposes a critical gap in South Africa's legal framework, demanding a bold rethink of how the nation handles technology disputes. The stakes are colossal. In 2023, a major South African retailer sued a global software provider for R500 million after a botched enterprise resource planning (ERP) system crippled its operations. Such cases, rooted in poorly drafted contracts or unmet service-level agreements (SLAs), are becoming alarmingly common. Meanwhile, data breach lawsuits are skyrocketing, fueled by the Protection of Personal Information Act (POPIA) of 2014. The Information Regulator reported over 1 200 breach notifications in 2024 alone, with a high-profile bank facing a R1 billion class-action suit after a 2023 hack exposed 1.5 million customers' data. IP disputes are also surging, as seen in a 2022 case where a fintech startup battled a R100 million claim over alleged code theft. These cases aren't just legal skirmishes—they're existential threats to businesses navigating a digital economy. Why is IT litigation exploding? The answer lies in the complexity of modern technology and the inadequacy of current legal tools to address it. Unlike traditional commercial disputes, IT cases hinge on intricate technical evidence—think source code, system logs, or network configurations. Lawyers must translate this 'geek-speak' into arguments that resonate with judges, many of whom lack specialised tech training. South Africa's judicial system, while robust, isn't built for this. With no dedicated IT or IP courts, cases often languish in backlogs, some dragging on for over three years. The absence of tailored rules for emerging tech like artificial intelligence (AI) or blockchain only widens the gap. Contrast this with the construction industry, which has long benefitted from standardised contracts and dispute resolution mechanisms fine-tuned for its complexities. IT, despite sharing similar traits—long project timelines, technical intricacy, and high financial stakes—lacks such a framework. Software development contracts, for instance, are often vague, leaving room for disputes over scope, deliverables, or timelines. A 2023 arbitration case handled by Werksmans Attorneys underscored this: a medical scheme administrator faced a multi-million-rand claim for allegedly mimicking software functionality. The arbitrator ruled that functionality, unlike source code, isn't legally protectable—a nuance that highlights the need for clearer contractual terms. This isn't just a legal problem; it's a business one. IT disputes can derail projects, sink startups, or erode consumer trust. The 2024 dispute between a South African broadcaster and a U.S. tech firm over software licensing royalties showed how quickly disagreements can escalate, with millions in revenue hanging in the balance. Companies can't afford to treat IT contracts as afterthoughts. A well-crafted agreement isn't just paperwork—it's a shield against costly litigation and a blueprint for collaboration. Yet, too many firms skimp on legal rigor, only to pay dearly later. So, what's the fix? First, South Africa needs a specialised framework for IT disputes, akin to the construction industry's model. Standardised contracts, designed with input from tech and legal experts, could clarify expectations around IP ownership, licensing, and deliverables. Dispute resolution mechanisms, like fast-track arbitration tailored for tech cases, would prevent disputes from ballooning into existential threats. The popularity of alternative dispute resolution (ADR) is already growing—92% of global firms surveyed in 2024 favored international arbitration for tech disputes. South Africa should lean into this, incentivising mediation and arbitration to unclog courts. Secondly, the judiciary must evolve. Digitisation efforts like Court Online are a start, but they're not enough. Establishing specialised IT courts or training judges in tech fundamentals could bridge the knowledge gap. Other nations, like the UK with its Technology and Construction Court, offer a blueprint. Without such reforms, South Africa risks falling behind as a destination for tech investment. Finally, businesses must get proactive. Investing in robust contracts and compliance with laws like POPIA isn't optional—it's survival. Boards should demand tech-literate legal counsel, capable of spotting risks in software deals or cybersecurity protocols before they morph into lawsuits. The cost of prevention pales compared to the price of litigation, as the R1 billion bank case painfully illustrates. South Africa stands at a crossroads. Its IT sector is a powerhouse, driving growth and global relevance. But the litigation surge is a warning: without a legal system equipped for the digital age, this promise could falter. The nation needs more than patchwork fixes—it needs a paradigm shift. By embracing standardised contracts, specialised dispute resolution, and a tech-savvy judiciary, South Africa can turn its IT litigation challenge into a competitive edge. The alternative—sticking with an outdated legal playbook—risks stifling innovation and scaring off investors. As technology reshapes the nation, its legal system must keep pace, or the digital dream could become a litigious nightmare.

Danes reluctant to embrace retirement at 70
On paper, Kirsten Evans is among the first group of Danes who have to wait until age 70 to retire with a full pension, but she has no intention of waiting that long. Denmark's parliament in May adopted a law raising the retirement age to 70 by 2040, from the current age of 67. But Evans, a 53-year-old bank employee with a solid financial footing, said she plans to retire around 65 or 66 -- even if it means she won't earn a full pension. "I think 70 is old," she told AFP. "You want to benefit on the other end and still have a good life afterwards," she said. As many Western countries grapple with how to stretch pensions to cover ageing populations, Denmark indexed the official retirement age to life expectancy in 2006 and has revised it every five years. In 2030, the retirement age will increase to 68 and in 2035, it will rise to 69. But those born after December 31, 1970 -- including Evans -- will have to wait until age 70. - Widening gap - Few people actually work to the legal retirement age in Denmark. In 2022, when the official retirement age was 67, the actual average retirement age was around 64, according to the Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). About 20 percent of retirees in Denmark retire because they can't find a job or are too sick to continue, according to Aske Juul Lassen, an ethnologist at the University of Copenhagen who specialises in senior working life. "For those 20 percent, it makes a big difference whether the retirement age rises again," he said, stressing that "inequities are rising with age". The gap risks widening between those able to retire early thanks to strong finances and others, said Damoun Ashournia, chief economist at the Danish Trade Union Confederation. "Very few people actually retire at the official retirement age. But that is not an opportunity our members have," Ashournia said. Camilla Rasmussen, a 37-year-old union member who works as a gastroenterology nurse at a Copenhagen hospital, is convinced that she will not be physically able to work until age 70. "That would be really hard for me, walking 10,000 steps every day," she said. "If I'm here when I'm 70, I think it's not fair for the patients," she added. "Already today, we see that two-thirds of our members have retired prior to the official retirement age. And that's due to them being worn out and doing hard physical work," Ashournia said. - System review - Denmark's pension system is made up of several parts. There is a universal public pension, currently set at 7,198 kroner ($1,130) per month, plus two complementary employer-funded pensions invested in pension funds—one mandatory and one optional. Finally, some people also save money privately for retirement. Ashournia said he believed that raising the retirement age to 70 was the only way to finance Denmark's cradle-to-grave welfare state. "As the population ages and life expectancy increases, if we want to deliver the same public services we do today, we need to secure public finances," he said. However, he criticized the automatic five-year increases in the retirement age, a practice in place since 2006. Under these rules, the retirement age in 2070 will be 74. For Erik Simonsen, deputy head of the Confederation of Danish Employers, this is the only way forward. "It would be the most intelligent way to go on, to keep the system. So the older we get, then we have to work a little bit more," Simonsen said. Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen, 47, has said she believes a review of the system will be needed once the retirement age hits 70. "We no longer believe that the retirement age should be increased automatically," she told daily Berlingske in August 2024. In line with a review by a government-appointed working group, the Danish Trade Union Confederation said it would like to see a slowdown in the rate of increases. "In the future, we can raise it by only half a year for every year that life expectancy increases," said Ashournia. cbw/ef/po/djt
