Biomimicry is a collection of visual presentations and student design proposals containing biomimicry design theory and strategies. Students submitted work to the 2019 Global Design Challenge, sponsored by the Biomimicry Institute. The students pictured submitted “Tomato’s Home,” which focused on design strategies to reduce waste in the post-harvest stage of tomatoes, particularly in Nigeria.
