FAO scientists Marco and Enrico have developed a WEFE Nexus system, tested with the Jordan Valley Authority at King Talal Dam. This innovation significantly reduces water loss from evaporation, addressing Jordan's annual loss of 25 million cubic meters and enhancing water security in a water-scarce region.

The system promises billions in cost savings, boosts energy efficiency by 20%, and supports healthier food cultivation and agricultural expansion. It also extends solar panel lifespan, embodying the principle: "Every Drop Counts." Visit [fao.org](http://www.fao.org).

This record from La Higuera, Coquimbo, Chile, highlights the development of the La Higuera-Freirina Birregional Coastal Heritage Route. Set to launch in 2026, this initiative by Chile's Ministry of National Assets aims to provide public access to areas of high social, natural, cultural, and tourist value. It will offer accessible routes for vehicles, walking, cycling, and horseback riding, with local and institutional actors discussing its benefits.

Key support for this route comes from the GEF Marine Coastal Governance Project, implemented by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and executed by Chile's Ministry of Environment, Undersecretariat of Fisheries and Aquaculture, and National Fisheries and Aquaculture Service.

The La Higuera-Freirina Coastal Heritage Route, highlighted in Freirina, Chile, is a Chilean Ministry of National Assets initiative. It aims to provide public access to valuable natural, cultural, and tourist sites, offering various transport options. Local and institutional actors have discussed its benefits, with the route expected to launch in 2026.

Development of this route is significantly supported by the GEF Marine Coastal Governance Project. This project is implemented by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and executed by Chile's Ministry of Environment, Undersecretariat of Fisheries and Aquaculture, and National Fisheries and Aquaculture Service.

The "Youth Forum for the Transformation of Agri-food Systems" aims to establish a regional platform for young people across Latin America and the Caribbean. Its core objective is to strengthen their capacities, expand knowledge, foster collaborative networks, and develop joint proposals for transforming the region's agri-food systems.

The forum is structured over two days. Day one focuses on youth capacity building through workshops and interactive sessions, enhancing leadership, communication, and advocacy skills. Day two features a Preparatory Youth Dialogue, where participants will collectively develop a Regional Youth Declaration. This declaration will be a crucial input for the 39th FAO Regional Conference (LARC39) and other key decision-making forums.

Marco Colangeli and Enrico Mandola have developed an innovative solar energy system. Their active-cooled photovoltaic panels float on water surfaces, simultaneously reducing evaporation, increasing energy efficiency by 20%, and creating affordable energy production space for local farmers.

Tested and scientifically approved between August and December 2025, this system is ready for implementation. It offers a significant solution, potentially reducing Jordan's annual water loss from dams by approximately 25 million cubic meters.

The "Youth Forum for the Transformation of Agri-food Systems" aims to establish a regional platform for youth in Latin America and the Caribbean. Its goal is to strengthen their capacities, expand knowledge, foster collaboration, and develop joint proposals for transforming the region's agri-food systems.

This two-day forum dedicates its first day to youth capacity building through workshops and interactive panels, enhancing leadership, communication, and advocacy skills. The second day hosts a Preparatory Youth Dialogue, where participants deliberate on priorities and create a Regional Youth Declaration. This declaration will be a key tool for the Civil Society Consultation at FAO's 39th Regional Conference (LARC39) and other decision-making spaces.

This video highlights ISPM 5, the Glossary of Phytosanitary Terms, a key reference for harmonizing terminology within the International Plant Protection Convention (IPPC). It ensures contracting parties share a common understanding of terms used in International Standards for Phytosanitary Measures (ISPMs).

Promoting clarity and consistency across languages and regions, ISPM 5 strengthens global cooperation in plant health, supporting pest prevention, safe trade, and worldwide plant resource protection.

Germán Rojas, former FAO Information Officer, reflects on the strategic role of communications throughout FAO's 80-year history. He details the evolution from analog methods—like print and press relations—to digital technologies, and the challenges of coordinating communications in a decentralized, transforming organization.

Communications proved vital in supporting food security policies, major global hunger conferences, and establishing World Food Day. Rojas's insights show how FAO enhanced its public visibility, advocacy, and collective work against hunger, rural development, and international cooperation.
