Agriculture; Nigeria embrace green alternative policy.

Nigeria’s Minister of Agriculture has unveiled a new plan aimed at ensuring the protection of local and foreign investments. Audu Ogbeh told journalists after this week’s Federal Cabinet meeting, that his ministry was talking with the Interior Ministry about training personnel, to take up that responsibility. State House correspondent Tai Amodu reports that the cabinet has endorsed a document containing all policies needed to make agriculture the alternative to oil. The document, called “The Green Alternative,” contains objectives, policies and interventions needed to be put in place in order for Nigeria to achieve self sufficiency and become a major importer of agricultural products as it used to be in the 60s and 70s. Ogbeh concedes that times are hard and there is severe shortage of food, noting that this is due to the fact that Nigeria imports a large part of the food it consumes.Read more

3D printing facilitates innovate surgery in veterinary medicine for blue macaw..

A prosthetic titanium beak has been manufactured using 3D metal printing and implanted on Gigi, a blue macaw (a genus of the parrot family). This unusual prosthetic saved Gigi’s life, as macaws are unable to eat solid foods without a beak. A team of veterinarians, together with 3D printing experts from the Renato Archer Technology and Information Center (CTI) in Campinas, Brazil, developed an implant solution. The successful operation took place at the Animal Care Center in Ipiranga near Sao Paulo. The artificial beak was created thanks to the cooperation of three specialists. The team, dubbed the “Avengers,” was comprised of veterinarian Roberto Fecchio, 3D designer and facial-reconstruction specialist Cicero Moraes, and veterinary dentist Paul Miamoto. The “Avengers” are pioneers in the use of 3D printing technology for saving the lives of wild animals, and previously made a new shell for Freddy the turtle and a beak for an injured toucan. These prosthetics were made of plastic. In Gigi’s case, however, plastic wasn’t suitable. Macaws use their beaks to open seeds and break other hard shells, so their beaks need to be extremely long-lasting and strong. See more

Entrepreneur turns trash to gold by making 3D- printer filaments.

A new startup plans to help waste pickers earn more by turning plastic waste into a more valuable product 3-D printing filament. The company is turning trash to gold by buying trash and making a component of 3D printer. They produce the plastic thread-like material that 3-D printers use instead of ink. Recycling plastic bottles into filament can help waste pickers increase their incomes by as much as 20 times.The startup will launch in Dar es Salaam and plans to expand to other cities. Around the world, around 40 million waste pickers currently earn less than $2 a day for their work. The demand for the filament is growing a one forecast suggests that 3-D printer sales will double each year for the next few years. By 2019, 5.6 million 3-D printers will sell in a year.The company is working on various models to pay waste pickers. The value increase for them is around 20 times what they make now from the plastic they sell, but that's not the best way to go about impact—giving one waste picker 20 times as much as he makes now. The company is looking into finding ways to either prolong the impact—give them a sustained level of income—or spread it out over a larger group. The company plans to expand to various cities they hope to locate near their biggest markets.The company thinks that developing countries will eventually also become bigger markets for the product, 3-D printing objects that are currently shipped in from elsewhere.
