J-WAFS at MIT develops technologies that provide low cost clean drinking water and reduce pesticide use

New research into using wood to provide low cost clean drinking water and reducing the amount of pesticides needed for crop production are among several new projects being developed by the Abdul Latif Jameel World Water and Food Security Lab (J-WAFS) at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), reports Gulf News.

These technologies propose solutions to these and other global water and food supply challenges by improving food and water safety monitoring, water filtration, irrigation, and reducing pesticide use.
