Grain storage monitoring

Crover wrote: Cereal grains are the basis of staple food, yet post-harvest losses during long-term storage are exceptionally high, above 20%, making storage the single phase from harvest to final product with the highest losses. This is responsible for about 6% of total greenhouse gas emissions from food waste. Crover is the first robotic device able to ‘swim’ through grains stored in bulk and autonomously monitor their conditions, helping grain operators like farmers and grain merchants maintain the quality of their stock...

Hike&Bike

Hike&Bike wrote: Hike&bike provides a solution to the current nature mobility problem where the trails are scattered between many different platforms and provide only part of the information needed for a great hike or a bike ride. The solution would unite the currently available routes in a single user and mobile-friendly plugin/app, which allows the user to select their preferred difficulty level, mobility solution, read and leave reviews. The idea also relates to the current challenges faced by the cēsis city where the city center is poorly connected with its periphery and thereby it is a challenge to reach some of it's best-known nature tourism spots...

Suncrowd

In turn, the customer has to draw electricity directly from suncrowd at a competitive price (cheaper or equal to grid price).

BioKind

BioKind wrote: Aquaculture production in europe has increased 60% since 1998, but these farmed animals need to eat lots of protein. This traditionally comes from wild fish (fishmeal), but 90% of fish stocks are fully or over exploited. To meet demand, many thousands of hectares of soybeans have been planted globally, resulting in widespread deforestation in brazil. Through our innovative, proprietary process, we upcycle non-edible crop waste into a high-protein feed ingredient. We are valorizing a waste product to make agricultural land more efficient, and stop the expansion of other destructive protein ingredients... Source: EIT Climate KIC's ClimateLaunchPad
