As climate change drives drought, and the rising global population drives food demand, the world's food security is ever more precarious. But struggling farmers may find relief from the soaring temperatures from the sun itself--and the technology that harnesses its power. HuffPost reports students at the University of Arizona noticed that vegetables grown under the cover of solar panels flourished during the hottest summer on record. The observation provided food for thought for Prof. Greg Barron-Gafford’s research in 'agrivoltaics': growing food and generating solar energy on the same land. The concept could fulfill the need for land on which to build new solar installations while also helping farmers stay afloat. It’s a case where one plus one could equal more than two.

Weight loss apps were one of the first apps to start selling when smartphones came on the market. Today, there are literally thousands of them available. However, they vary so much in quality, price, and focus that it can be difficult to pick the best one for you. Nutritionist Samantha Cassetty says the best apps support a variety of healthy foods, in balanced amounts, that are right for your needs. Free apps, like Lose It!, can help you track your food intake. However, Cassetty says they're unlikely to lead to any real, lasting weight loss. Instead, she suggests focusing on developing healthy habits, like regular exercise and increasing the number of fruits and vegetables in your diet. According to Business Insider, the apps Noom, Weight Watchers, My Fitness Pal, and the free MyNetDiary do a great job at helping you meet some or all of these goals.
For the tens of millions who have lost their jobs in the wake of the pandemic, life at home has also changed dramatically for millions of Americans. According to Business Insider contributor Rebecca Chamaa, there are ways to keep your grocery bill under control, even if eating out is no longer an option. First, start with shopping by list, not by impulse. Plan your meals and shop accordingly. Pick recipes that use what you've already got. Become a big fan of leftovers. Freeze excess portions, and dub one night a week 'Leftover Buffet.' Finally, check expiration dates. Make soup stock from vegetables before they go off. Buy foods just about to go off from the bargain rack, and use immediately.
Farmers in Zhejiang Province have designed 'smart' vertical farms which allow vegetables to be grown without much soil or sunlight. Plants are provided with nutrient solutions through an intelligent control system. A shorter growing season and a ban on pesticides also make smart farms more environmentally friendly. With Chinese people on average consuming around 276 grams (9.7 ounces) of vegetables daily, the farm's harvest would be enough to provide greens for more than 36,000 people.
