Challenges of daylighting • Glare is experienced when direct
sunlight penetrates into buildings and reflects off surfaces, causing visual discomfort. (...) Daylight availability The source of daylight is the sun and it may reach the building in the following ways as illustrated by Figure 01.
• Direct sunlight along a straight path from the sun, through an opening to a given point;
• Diffuse light through the sky and clouds;
• Reflected light – either externally by the ground and surrounding buildings or internally by walls, ceilings and other internal surfaces
These factors determine the illuminance level at any point in the room.

Well from an African perspective, I believe FLW can be addressed through the processing of such foods by natural means (drying). Most African countries are blessed with abundant sunlight.

Trees are the better way to preserve soil living organisms and manage microclimate that limit quick change in soil exposure to drought and sunlight or running water
But this take time. Depending on the local climate 15 years to 50 years are necessary to benefit of trees effect.
(...) This is for me the key challenge, not misuse natural capital.
One concrete example was the presence of earthworm under old faidherbia tree on the top of a hill in burkina faso under minus 600mM annual rainfall. earthworms benefit of faidherbia impact on soil humidity and earthworm have theyre cast under the top soil layer.

Beyond one month, agriculturaL production and the survival of natural
ecosysgems would be threatened by a considerable reduction in sunlight, temPerature
depressions of several degrees below normal and suppression of precipitation and
summer monsoons. (...) Dust effectively
scatters sunlight, reflecting a portioa of the incoming solar radiation back to
sPace.
(...) Dense patches of dust could cause significant reduction of sunlight reaching the
