PROBLEM: Ikea is known for its flat-pack kitchen tables  islands  and cabinets. Now the home furnishings retailer is experimenting with products that allow people to harvest food at home. Space10  Ikea's innovation lab  has designed a prototype of a mini-farm that can grow greens and herbs indoors. Called  Lokal    it  uses a hydroponic farming system — allowing crops to grow on trays under LEDs in a climate-controlled box. Space10 debuted the device in September at the London Design Festival in Shoreditch. Check it out below. View As: One Page Slides
The Lokal farm lets anyone harvest greens indoors.
Space10 gave 2 000 free samples of Lokal microgreens to London Design Week attendees.
Michael La Cour  Managing Director of IKEA Food Services  said in a statement that  Lokal  still needs to be developed further before  the company  decides whether to sell  it  in stores.

SOLUTION: Lokal

PROBLEM: The leader of India's main opposition Congress party   Sonia Gandhi   has retired from  her  post  the party confirmed on Thursday.
 Her  son   Rahul Gandhi   has been elected unopposed as the new president and will officially take charge on Saturday.
 Mrs Gandhi   71  has been the party president since 1998.  She  was elected to parliament in 1999.
 She  is  however  not retiring from politics and will continue as a member of parliament  the party said.
 Mrs Gandhi  entered politics in 1994   three years after after  her  husband  former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi  was assassinated.
 Her  power derived from being the head of the Nehru-Gandhi dynasty  which has led the Congress party and has ruled India for most of the years since it became an independent nation in 1947.
After distancing  herself  from politics following  her  husband's death   Mrs Gandhi  was initially seen as a reluctant and almost reclusive politician.
Under  her  leadership  the party turned in its second-worst performance since independence in the 1999 elections  but won the general elections in 2004 and 2009.

Mrs Gandhi  an Italian-born Catholic  would have been the first foreigner to become Indian prime minister had  she  not surprised everyone by turning down the post after  her  general election success in 2004. Yet  many considered  her  the de facto head of the Congress government.
In recent years  Mrs Gandhi  has faced health issues. In 2011   she  had surgery in the US for an undisclosed medical condition and in 2013  she  was taken to hospital from parliament after falling ill.

SOLUTION: Sonia Gandhi
