Things like climate change, a high carbon footprint, deforestation continue to seriously threaten the future of our planet and living species. That is why scientists are trying to take steps towards a more sustainable future.

As we all know, the cause of the destruction of the lungs of the world deforestation It is a problem that is getting worse by the day. It is said that humans destroy up to ten million hectares of forest land every year. Using trees for our own benefit causes damage to these areas, which are of great importance to our planet. Scientists researching this topic have announced that there may be a method that could help fight deforestation.

It may be possible to produce wood in the laboratory

Growing products in a laboratory environment has been a topic that has been on the agenda for a long time. As is well known, artificial meat is expected to become widespread in the coming years to protect animals. Now scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) wood in the laboratory environment that it can be produced.

Experts said in their statements that a wood-like material can be produced in the lab that will not harm the trees. when building environmentally friendly houses; even when making durable furniture even stated that it can be used.

Researchers have yet to fully understand how this species of wood can be grown in the lab. they couldn’t fix it states that they have taken important steps in this regard. Accordingly, experts state that this is possible by using cells in the young leaves of a flower called Zinnia elegans (dirty lady), some nutrients and two hormones.

Can reduce energy consumption and waste

In addition, it is argued that the material can be more useful than traditional wood. According to the descriptions of this product; changing hardness and density through chemicals and 3D bioprinting techniques. shaping in any shape It might be possible. One of the researchers, Ashley Beckwith, also suggested that this material can be grown as needed; that too can reduce the amount of energy and waste say.

Finally, Beckwith states that this kind of research and forests are very important for our future, adding: “Trees and forests are a great tool to help us manage climate change. For this reason, careful strategic use of these resources, future-oriented is a social necessity†
