Badass Biomimicry Inventions

Biomimicry is the science (and art) of consciously emulating nature, and is one of the four pillars of the Alchemus Prime Diamond Model, which we apply to social innovation.

Recently I came across an article from Grist summarizing four of the eight biomimetic inventions that made it into the list of finalists for the Biomimicry Global Design Challenge which focused on Food Systems. Looking through the finalists, five of them focus on producing food, two on how to keep nutrients in soil, and the last one is a low-cost desal project. Very impressive and creative!

Registration is now open for the 2016 challenge. Sign up if you’re an inventor who is interested in leveraging the wisdom of nature to benefit all life!
