Globally, 500 million smallholder farmers produce much of the world's food yet disproportionately face hunger, poverty, and climate change. Improving farm design and management for productivity and profitability is vital. Emma Naluyima, a Ugandan farmer, exemplifies this, achieving abundant, diverse food on one acre through circular resource management, healthy soils, and appropriate technology.

The Ellen MacArthur Foundation, a UK charity, accelerates the transition to a circular economy. Learn more about their initiatives, Emma Naluyima's work, and the circular economy in Africa.

Cities annually produce one billion tons of organic waste, often dumped at high cost, causing pollution and emissions. Insects offer a proven, sustainable solution, efficiently converting this waste into food, feed, and nutrient-rich compost. Companies like Sanergy and InsectiPro show how insects transform waste into profit, supporting soil fertility and a circular food economy.

Julia Blocher, a researcher at the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) and President of the International Youth Federation (IYF), explores the global impacts of climate change and human responses. She illustrates how climate events drive migration while highlighting young people making real change.

With a decade of experience in climate change and human movement, Blocher believes youth are pivotal in solving global challenges like climate change and migration. Her work, focusing on regions like East Africa and island nations, underscores the potential of this new generation to lead towards a just, peaceful, and inclusive future. This talk was given at a TEDx event. Learn more here.

Solving climate change demands bold experiments and a fundamental societal restructuring to achieve carbon neutrality. This massive effort requires global unity, akin to WWII, to reverse

Solving climate change demands bold experiments and a fundamental societal restructuring to achieve carbon neutrality. This massive effort requires global unity, akin to WWII, to reverse polarization and re-establish trust in collective action.

Jan Sendzimir, a systems ecologist with international experience, collaborates with scientists and laypeople to help communities address climate warming risks like droughts, floods, and fires. He uses modeling and field research within participatory processes to guide sustainable development in various river systems and the Sahel region.

Corrina Gould, Tribal Chair for the Confederated Villages of Lisjan Nation and a leading Indigenous activist, will discuss "Rematriation" at this year's conference. This practice involves reclaiming traditional land and sacred sites to rebuild cultures, heal colonial wounds, and prioritize women's unique role in this vital undertaking.

Gould co-founded Indian People Organizing for Change and the Sogorea Te’ Land Trust, an urban Indigenous women-led organization based in her ancestral territory (Oakland, CA). Through rematriation, cultural revitalization, and land restoration, the Land Trust calls on all people to heal and transform legacies of colonization.

This keynote was delivered at the 2024 Bioneers Conference. For more talks, visit Bioneers.

Join Jeff Corwin on Wildlife Nation as he embarks on a coast-to-coast adventure to save two iconic American species: the California condor and the Massachusetts saltmarsh sparrow.

First, Jeff travels to Big Sur, California, to the Ventana Wildlife Society, where he helps prepare young condors for the wild. Later, he works with the Massachusetts Department of Fish and Wildlife to conserve unique saltmarsh sparrows in his home state.

Teaming up with Defenders of Wildlife, Corwin highlights these critical conservation efforts and invites you to join the adventure.
