There are existing prototypes of laser systems for killing fast moving insects such as mosquitos. Imagine a device on a fence pole covering the surrounding acre.
There are plenty of slow moving pests, weeds and the like as well.

- mkl 8y agoWhere do you think that canned and baking fruit comes from? It's grown just the same.
- Nzen 8y agoPresumably, canned fruit could involve less organic waste as the canner can use ugly fruit that consumers may reject for long enough that it spoils. I don't know enough to guess whether this is more energy 'efficient', given that we need glass or metal containers, in this case.
- ip26 8y agoYes, but there's probably less loss & spoilage in the supply chain for canned/frozen/dried/etc.
- mkl 8y agoSame pest/weed control, though, and that's what we were talking about.
