Case study: Analog Forestry
“Our current dominant industrialized agriculture has increasingly diverged from the natural systems from which it originates. Monoculture is the commonest system. Most of the species we grow are annual. We also massively rely on fossil fuel through mechanization (oil), fertilizers (gas) and pesticides (oil). Old and new alternatives do exist, many of which are inspired by ecosystems and how they function. In the forestry domain, one of them is “analog forestry”.
Case study: how to collect water?
Where a Namibian beetle teaches us how to collect water efficiently. A device to extract water from air conditioning systems is being adapted from the tool designed by a Namibian beetle to survive in one of the hottest places on earth.
