Description

An English company has developed a new way of growing trees for commercial and landscape use. Conservationists in Britain are campaigning to protect the countries ancient trees. We take a look at the millennium seed bank and its research. Plants have grown from over 200-year-old seeds from the national archives that scientists at British's Millennium Seed Bank have planted. Is genetic modification the answer to feeding the world or damaging to the environment? The University of Warwich has upgraded their fertilization process; it combines irrigation with fertilization and provides underground hoses delivering water and fertilizer to plants via holes in the pipes.
