Welcome to CHEAP, our series about things that are good, but most of all, cheap. CHEAP! You can never have too much digital stuff. Whether that’s music, movies, photos, documents, or whatever else tickles your virtual fantasies, it’s all good. The issue though is space. How are you meant to store all of that juicy content in an easy way? External hard drives. The answer, to reiterate, is external hard drives. But what’s the point in having a 1TB storage device?

Proponents of nanotechnology say it will revolutionize farming and global food systems, with applications being explored that could cut waste, make food safer and help create ‘super crops’ that escape the controversial label of genetically modified organisms (GMOs). If successful, it could help to overcome poor yields, malnutrition and opposition to GMOs – all of which are still large challenges in the global South. The science of nanotech is cutting-edge but simple enough to be affordable globally. And the development prospect is huge. So it’s no surprise that many developing countries have already embarked on commercializing the technology. But the…
