Entry Description

Introducing OASYS, the Omni-Agricultural System. This smart piece of technology works in tandem with agroforestry techniques and is designed to redirect resources including sunlight, carbon dioxide, and rainwater for various functions to the crops and farmers advantage. OASYS mimics a species in nature who has already adapted its own efficient resource management system. The Begonia pavonina, a fern home to the dark undergrowth of the Malaysian tropical rainforest similarly redirects resources like sunlight using structural interference, to ensure its survival in low-light conditions.
