[October 23rd, 2016]
This issue reports on impact. Not the latest gadgets and nice-to-haves. Not the cool concepts still in the minds of the creator. No, this Sunday we will focus on mindblowing inventions that are changing the industry, making life better for all of us! And for chicks.. (check out the second video)!

Anti-desertification plant cocoon
Here’s the Growboxx, a biodegradable plant cocoon which first helps the plant (or tree) to grow and after a year it will slowly disappear. The ecological water-saving technology enables planting trees in rocky or desert regions. Ideal for areas with water shortages and dry land.

Chick-friendly breeding
Did you know that each year a whopping 3.2 billion roosters get killed on their first day? Yes. They only need the hens for eggs. However, In Ovo has developed a revolutionary technique to determine the sex of an egg! Great step forward!

Architecture on a mission
Relying on natural phenomena such as gravity, condensation and evaporation, Warka Water is able to harvest potable water from the atmosphere. Owned and operated by locals, the Warka Water tower creates a social place for the community as well. Fact: daily water collection is 50 to 100 liters!
