🌍 Happy Earth Day everyone! 🌱 Today, let's celebrate by embracing the wisdom of nature through #biomimicry. Here is a short video explaining the meaning of biomimicry using text from "Biomimicry: Innovation Inspired by Nature" by Janine Benyus! 🔍 Nature has been a master engineer for billions of years. Every organism and ecosystem has adapted ingenious solutions for survival and efficiency. From the water collection abilities of the Namib Desert beetle to the architectural marvels of honeybee hives, nature holds the blueprints to sustainable innovation. 📖 Drawing inspiration from Janine Benyus's groundbreaking work in "Biomimicry: Innovation Inspired by Nature," we see how nature’s designs can solve human challenges—without depleting our planet's resources and causing serious environmental issues. She teaches us that by mimicking these natural processes, we can develop technologies that are both sustainable and revolutionary. A huge shoutout to the amazing teams behind Biomimicry 3.8 and Biomimicry Institute for making this field super accessible and developing excellent resources to teach this vast subject. 🚀 Imagine buildings that self-regulate temperatures like termite mounds without using fossil fuels or materials as resilient as spider silk. By learning from nature, not only do we solve engineering or design problems, we also contribute to preserving the environment that inspires these innovations. 💡 As we celebrate Earth Day, let's commit to learning from the greatest designer of all—Mother Nature. Let’s invest in biomimicry to create a future where technology and nature thrive together. What nature-inspired solution inspires you the most? #EarthDay #Innovation #Sustainability #Nature #Biomimicry

Interesting take on what can & is being leveraged off to inspire innovation and solve problems. #Biomimicry (literally: imitation of the living) aims to take inspiration from natural selection solutions adopted by nature and translate the principles to human engineering. The biomimicry approach aims to favor “choices” tested by nature which had millions of years to understand what works best and what doesn't. #innovation #problemsolving #naturalsystemsandstrategies #modelimitation
The world is poorly designed. But copying nature helps.

Laying down the baseline measurements for another year. To complement the BioHub Sequest we are applying BioHub LaB for the first time. The strategy is to utilise the biology for salt mitigation in the plant whilst the Sequest will help move it through the profile. BioHub Sequest has already proved successful over a variety of soil types so we are excited to see how the biology will perform. #bioplan #measuremeasuremeasure

There is generally no silver bullet to a solution. With so many variables in agriculture, getting a complementary solution increases your chances of success. Whilst I have a focus on biology, I am always looking at other influences that could be limiting and then try to address them as well. This illustrates a level of integrity for the solution and not that you are just trying to push a product. #measuremeasuremeasure #keepitsimple #nosilverbullet #takingthebsoutofbiology
