For the months of July and August 2022, APBN considers how technology, for better or for worse, allows us to engineer a future where we can grow crops in the ocean, save endangered animals, and possibly even bring extinct animals back to life.

Here, we have Alex Teo, Managing Director and Vice President of Siemens Digital Industries Software, Southeast Asia, on how we can look towards the ocean as a viable alternative to traditional farming; Dr Sebastian Diecke and Steven Seet on the use of stem cell-associated techniques to rescue the northern white rhino from extinction; and Vanessa Quek on considering what de-extinction really means for us and other animals.

Other highlights in this issue include highlights from a webinar hosted by Professor Michael S. Strano, Joint Principal Investigator at Disruptive & Sustainable Technologies for Agricultural Precision (DiSTAP), on the recent advancements in AgriTech to help meet the increasing demand for food, and an interview with Dr Mee-ran Kim, Professor in Obstetrics and Gynaecology at Korea Seoul St. Mary's Hospital, Chair of the APAC Consensus, on the gynaecological condition, endometriosis.
