The 'Notiphy Box' Warns of Pesticide Use Around French Vineyards
Michael Hemsworth — August 31, 2018 — Lifestyle
Pesticides are an essential part of the farming process around the world but are notorious for being harmful to human health, so the 'Notiphy Box' has been developed as a solution to help warn those who visit the land.
The prototype device has been installed on one of the Chouilly-sur-Marne vineyards in France and looks like a friendly birdhouse that will provide essential information to workers and visitors about the pesticide use. This ensures that everyone will know exactly what areas have been treated recently to stay away to limit unnecessary exposure to the chemicals.
The 'Notiphy Box' shows distinct promise for helping to keep consumers better informed of pesticide use and has already piqued the interest of vineyards in the Burgundy and Bordeaux regions.
