of grain goes bad each year, which is such a waste. well, doctor lorenzo conti thinks he might have a solution. doctor 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 . how does it work and what does it do exactly? it swims through grain in storage, like in silos and sheds, monitoring conditions of the grain like temperature and moisture and helping maintain quality. how does this vary from conventional methods of looking after your grain? well, traditionally, you would need a farmer to physically walk on top of the grain bulk with a heavy spear and taking samples at a few points, which is dangerous and in some
22 million peppers. 22 million peppers?! 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. um, 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 tons of grain goes bad each year, which is such a waste. well, doctor lorenzo conti thinks he might have a solution. doctor 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 drone. that s right.
