The Problem & Solution

Effective pest control has long been a pivotal issue in modern agriculture. With the escalating growth of world population and the change in diet, high levels of agricultural production are required to meet the demand for food production. To date, a vast majority of farmers uses chemical pesticide to kill the pest worldwide[1], it is by far the most convenient and effective way of pesticide control. However, the increased production chemical pesticides brought entails multiple negative costs that are usually overlooked, sacrificing human health and the environment. Thus, problems of chemical pesticide involving food safety, farmers’ health, soil & water pollution, and the existence of drug-resistant insects are looming. An alternative solution of pest control is urgently needed, necessitating the nascence of our project.

Overview

We designed a nature-inspired system to offer farmers a safe, environmentally-friendly, accurate, and automatic style of farming. Inspired by the spiders using web and venom to achieve the predation, the system also contains two concept-resembling parts—“Device and Pantide.” As engineering, internet of things(IOT), and synthetic biology collide, the transference of knowledge to state-of-the-art system helps farmers no longer need to do laborious farm works and spray hazardous chemical poisons. It is a revolutionary system that not only guarantees the safety of the farmers and customers worldwide but also safeguards the sustainability of the environment and ecosystem. (see Pantide) (see Device)
