Farm Day Out demo: Biomimicry bite-size by Dr Anuj Jain & Grace Lim

Biomimicry is about looking at nature for inspiration for new inventions, to solve challenges by consulting nature and to seek nature’s advice as a guiding framework towards sustainable living and more. Biomimicry is not technology or biology; it’s the technology of biology. Biomimicry is about studying nature’s best ideas like photosynthesis, kingfisher beaks, and pangolin scales - and to mimic them for human use.
