For individuals experiencing partial or complete vision loss, navigating the world independently can be a major challenge. Loved ones may not always be available for assistance, and guide dogs are not readily accessible. However, advancements in modern technology are revolutionizing this area!

The rapid growth of the global population (expected to reach around 9 billion by 2050) and the widespread urbanization pose the challenge of ensuring food security for all Earth's inhabitants. To tackle this issue, scientists at the Finnish research company VTT have developed an innovative solution. Their brainchild, the CellPod, enables individuals to cultivate cell-based food from common berries within the comfort of their homes. This breakthrough technology presents a promising step towards addressing the looming food crisis caused by population expansion and urban sprawl.
