Automating afforestation is one of the avenues that could most bring relief to the world battered by climate change. Flash Forest has ambitious plans for that.
A sensor allows you to literally listen to the vegetables. Not only does it assess plant stress, but also heat suffering and nutritional needs.
Notpla develops a substance derived from algae that replaces plastic very well
Is infinite technological development possible in a world of finite resources? With these technologies (and their conscious use) probably yes.
These scenarios would free around 576 million hectares, allowing cultivated land to restore its natural purpose.
The study published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters gives us no escape. If this tundra melts, it will release gases from millions of sources of methane and other carbon emissions into the atmosphere, further accelerating global warming.
We can only feed 3,4 billion people sustainably. We could exceed 10, but we need to change the food system. Now.
Europe is looking for biofuel sources like algae to power a car. They only need salt water and sun, they grow in a flash and are already working.
A magazine from 20 years ago, on the eve of 1997, lined up the most accurate list of predictions for 2020. And some solemn absurdities. This is how they saw us.
Cheaper, renewable, versatile: hemp bioplastic can change the world, but hemp is still opposed. Why?
The use of batteries for vehicles and agricultural machinery promises to revolutionize the cultivation industry by lowering costs and improving production. From large tractors to small harvesting machines, all vehicles will be completely transformed by electric. On the other hand, current agriculture is under pressure: on the one hand the need to produce more food to avoid the food crisis. On the other hand, the need to reduce waste and abuse of land and water. Precision agriculture can increase the production of… Read more
We can stem the food crisis by working hard on eight factors that have worsened and strengthened the weaknesses in our system. Here are what they are.
