CURIOUSLY, we usually associate innovation with humans. But the master innovator is nature. View in LinkedIn

INNOVATION. "Human beings are obsessive innovators. Homo sapiens (knower) is by nature Homo faber (fabricator). Life without what philosopher Michael Novak has called ‘the fire of invention’ doubtless would be nasty, bloody, and brutish." https://lnkd.in/ejS2tMH View in LinkedIn

EXTRAPOLATION. “Loladze scoured the scientific literature for any studies and data he could find. The results, as he collected them, all seemed to point in the same direction: The junk-food effect he had learned about in that Arizona lab also appeared to be occurring in fields and forests around the world.” https://lnkd.in/eq-SAGC View in LinkedIn

CO2 IMPACT ON PLANTS. “It was already well documented that CO2 levels were rising in the atmosphere, but he was astonished at how little research had been done on how it affected the quality of the plants we eat.” https://lnkd.in/eq-SAGC View in LinkedIn

CO2 AND LIGHT. “In the outside world, the problem isn’t that plants are suddenly getting more light: It’s that for years, they’ve been getting more carbon dioxide. Plants rely on both light and carbon dioxide to grow. If shining more light results in faster-growing, less nutritious algae—junk-food algae whose ratio of sugar to nutrients was out of whack—then it seemed logical to assume that ramping up carbon dioxide might do the same.” https://lnkd.in/eq-SAGC View in LinkedIn

FROM ALAGE TO COWS. “What struck me is that its application is wider,” Loladze recalled in an interview. Could the same problem affect grass and cows? What about rice and people? “It was kind of a watershed moment for me when I started thinking about human nutrition.” https://lnkd.in/eq-SAGC View in LinkedIn
