Boosting fig yields with sustainable pollination
People are interested not only in creating comfort in artificial environments but also in using natural resources correctly and sustainably. Nature’s long evolution, with its adaptability to environmental changes, serves as a model for innovation. The Fig Wasp Module supports fig wasps, the natural pollinators of fig trees, to optimize fig production. Designed around their life cycle and habitat, the module uses artificial textures to facilitate access to fig flowers, enhancing the natural pollination process and contributing to a healthier ecosystem and increased biodiversity.
