About WDF Universe & These Courses

Aprajita Srivastava volunteers as an educator on WDF Universe for SDG2030, producing livelihood generation courses for farming communities worldwide. The 2030 Agenda's 17 SDGs aim to end poverty and hunger globally. With 3 billion people in developing countries suffering from malnutrition and lack of resources, these courses teach Knowledge Agriculture® methods — IoT, UAVs, Robotics, and modern farming techniques — to inspire rural communities to adopt new technology and improve their livelihoods.

The 2030 Agenda comprising 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) aims to end poverty and deprivation from the globe, sustain the planet's resources and preserve the climate and environment. Three billion people in developing countries — the largest producers of food for world consumption — suffer from malnutrition, climate change, drought, floods, and lack of resources.

Execution of technology-assisted skill development projects in parts of India and Ethiopia, sustained and monitored over many years, showed inspiring changes in rural behaviour and willingness of farmers to adopt new technology.

WDF Universe for SDG2030 was established with a mission to educate and train farming and other populations to increase their income using modern methods — broadcasting & communication technologies, IoT, Robotics, and UAVs — across education, agriculture, healthcare, and livelihood generation.
