VitaGoat

In part of catching up on what technology is doing, I decided to subscribe to the podcast APM's "Future Tense", and heard about an interesting "contraption" for fighting malnutrition in under-developed countries. It's called VitaGoat, and from what I understand, it allows the very efficient food-processing without the use of electricity, thereby allowing food to be preserved for consumption later. There are already nine being used around the world (in Africa, India, and North Korea), and the technology is being transferred to India and Africa for cheaper manufacturing and maintenance. So this invention is not only helping against malnutrition, but providing more jobs too!
