the latest version of the flying dune buggy developed by Steve Saint and his crew at the Indigenous Peoples Technology and Education Center (ITEC).
So, how'd the Indigenous Peoples Technology and Education Center (I-TEC) guide their creation through the narrow, winding halls of state and federal transportation institutions?
I-Tec is we're reinventing the technology so it fits the people so that they don't have to become like us,
the bigger thing that we do is developing health care technology and tools and training systems so that we can train people that live out in the jungle areas,
The technology is new and its legal use is caveated heavily, but Saint is optimistic, and sees the Maverick's potential uses as extremely diverse, from security to recreation to search and rescue.

In effect, Picarro's technology can be used to double-check that what the label or barcode says

Technology for tracing food origins has been available for decades. What is different now is that it is now cost-effective enough to be used more widely in food quality control operations
Picarro's technology costs about $100, 000, which is about one-fifth the traditional cost,
Picarro expects food companies to use its technology to prove the authenticity of food origins, and the company is already working with a number of the larger ones.
In addition, the technology is being used by those concerned with fair trade labeling, to ensure that the source is said credible,

To understand the role of innovation and technology in saving ourselves, Smartplanet turned to David Biello who has been writing about the environment and energy for nearly 15 years, most recently for Scientific American.
So what can we do with technology and innovation to save ourselves? DB: The good news is that we â â¢ve been dealing with sea level rise and weird weather for most of human history.
On the technology side the most disconcerting proposals are these so-called geoengineering schemes. This is where we would actively manage planetary scale systems, particularly the climate.
Richard Branson has offered the Branson prize of $25 mil the first technology that can suck CO2 out of the air.
Thus far no one has come up with a technology that economically and successfully sucks the CO2 from the air.

and crops could halve food price inflationresource conservation technologies in agriculture could potentially halve the staggering increases in food prices in the face of climate change,
and I think that we're at a point where it will be very good to see how these resource-conserving technologies can perform to help solve food insecurity issues."
IFPRI researchers have found that drought tolerance technologies for rain-fed agriculture would increase maize output by 27 percent,
assuming farmers fully adopt the technology over a 30-year period. Integrated soil fertility management--a term for a variety of nonchemical practices that raise the nutrient levels of soils--could raise maize output by up to 50 percent,
or high technology could improve maize yields by 22 percent, rice yields by 12 percent and wheat yields by 19 percent.
said Ephraim Nkonya, a senior research fellow in the environment and production technology division of IFPRI.
