i don t know how many tons of tomatoes, but a lot. it s done better than we d anticipated in its first year, if i m honest. yes. but, you know, great. so this project has proven that you can grow a large scale of produce in a low carbon way you just need to be near a waste heat source and there are plenty of those around the world. thanks, jen. of course, once our crops have been harvested, they need to be stored safely so they don t spoil. an estimated 630 million tonnes of grain goes bad each year, which is such a waste. well, dr lorenzo conti thinks he might have a solution. dr lorenzo, what is it? what we have developed, lara, is the world s first subterranean drone and we re using it specifically to help the grain storage operators maintain the quality of their stock. you called it a drone, but it doesn t look much like a drone. that s right. since there wasn t a word in the dictionary to describe what it is, we have come up with one. we call it a crover .
