In this compelling seventh episode of the MEER Podcast, Dr. Ye Tao shares fascinating updates from his recent travels in China, delving into the state of climate, agricultural, and water resource research. Amidst exploring the potential for international collaboration, Dr. Tao sheds light on the challenges faced by Chinese researchers within the state-funded system and the implications for innovative climate solutions like MEER.

The episode takes a deep dive into the impact of climate change on agriculture, highlighting recent studies that predict significant declines in crop yields due to increasing temperatures and changing precipitation patterns. Dr. Tao discusses how MEER's technologies could potentially mitigate these effects by improving water efficiency in agriculture through passive radiative cooling techniques.

Join us as we explore the nexus of technology, policy, and climate action, examining both the challenges and transformative potential of MEER in addressing urgent global issues.
