Using Innovation to produce food - 2 great videos from Catalyst

We wanted to share two very important videos that we think people should watch, that have been shown recently on the ABC's Catalyst program.

The first is about an amazing agricultural project in a remote Australian location on the edge of a desert. This highly productive farm is run by solar power and desalinates water from the abundant salt water sources. This amazingly innovative and sustainable way of producing food could be the future for Australia.

The second is about using flies and their maggots to recycle waste food and produce nutritious feed for animals.




We think that there are some amazing innovative ideas out there that make the challenge of feeding a growing world population all the more possible. WE CAN DO IT SUSTAINABLY - we just need to be innovative!!!!!!
