Anatolie Spivacenco is a food hero from Moldova. Even though Moldova is relatively septentrional and we might have the misconception that it is pretty cold, the summer in recent years have been very tough. The heat is very extreme, and it often causes draughts and lack food. Anatolie is considered a food hero because of one of many inventions. One problem Moldova often faced during these droughts is that the heat is so extreme that many grains from milder places don't grow in the first place. What Anatolie developed is one breed of seed that grows before the heat sets in. Making the grain capable of growing.


Conclusions

Seeing people who are actively trying to develop new technologies in order to help people is something that is always inspiring to see. Anatolie helped a lot of farmers and local people with this invention, and I aspire to have something to say I helped people with.

My notifications were turned off, so I didn't notice that he had called me around 10 times. In the end, it turned out ...
