Here in Israel we are in a strange waiting period right now – waiting for a possible retaliation by Iran, Hezbollah, Hamas, the Houthis, Iraq; our very own ring of fire. At the start of the week, when attack seemed imminent, people were worried. Fast forward a few days, however, and with the wait still on, fear has worn off, and everyone’s minds are back on work. With good reason. Israelis are coming up with innovative solutions that can solve some of the world’s pressing problems. Take HarvestR for instance. Over a third of all fresh produce globally ends up as waste after it’s harvested, and much of it is down to crop disease. HarvestR has come up with a solution that could stop it. Nicky Blackburn |
