ARTI, India, Biogas from food waste – Ashden Award winner
This video can be downloaded here: http://www.ashdenawards.org/winners/arti06
ARTI won an Ashden Award for Sustainable Energy in 2006.
The Appropriate Rural Technology Institute (ARTI) in Pune has developed a biogas plant which uses food waste rather than manure as feedstock and supplies biogas for cooking. The plant is sufficiently compact to be used by urban households, and over 700 are currently in use. Around 100 plants are now being installed every month.
Pune is a relatively affluent city in south India, and many people use liquid petroleum gas (LPG) or kerosene for cooking. Waste food is often discarded at the side of the road, as in many cities, attracting stray dogs, flies and rats and creating a public health hazard. The plant safely digests kitchen waste, food waste or waste flour from mills, thus reducing the problem of waste disposal. The ARTI biogas plant can, at least, halve the use of LPG or kerosene for cooking in a household, as well as provide a small amount of liquid effluent which can be used as fertilizer.
The first-prize Ashden Award to ARTI recognizes the enormous potential for using this compact biogas digester in towns and cities, both to supply cooking gas and to assist in the disposal of organic waste.

animate – digital sport
In trying to counter the current trend of obesity and lack of physical activity in children, a sports related product
has been developed.
This device has been interpreted anew by using children’s enormous interest in technology. “Animate” is an
electronic device that evolved due to children’s fascination with video games by integrating a movement element to
motivate them to participate in physical activity. Such activity is recorded with the use of sensors and saved as
playing credits (reward), which can be used to improve ones avatar (personal playing character) skill level when
playing games in an urban landscape.

Shut up and eat your clones
With the casual admission that meat from cloned animals have entered the Canadian food supply despite a Health Canada ban, we are once again faced with a choice: Will we stand up and demand that this food is clearly labeled or will we allow it to be quietly slipped into the food chain in the same way GMO food was in the 1990s? Once again, a potentially dangerous new biotechnology is threatening us where we are most vulnerable: our dinner plate.

Contaminated-The New Science of Food
There are currently over 786 million hungry people on planet Earth. And while few would deny that world hunger is one of the most important issues facing mankind today, if the solution is left to companies like Monsanto, Aventis, Dow, and DuPont, we may face even greater challenges to the security of our global ecosystem.
