How can we gain more living space for the growing population on planet earth. one fith of the planet is covered with infertile grounds how can we cultivate those hostile grounds in a cheap, doable and sustainable manner?
Oplossing
We designed a "plant-bomb"that can be thrown out of an airplane thus planting huge areas of deserted lands with quick-growing polants like mimosa. The flowerpot carries seed/sprouts and fertilizer in the form of cattle excrement that is over-produced in Western countries. The pot is cone shaped so it penetrates the ground on impact. If it crashes the dung will fertilize a patch of land anyway.
