FAO scientists Marco and Enrico have developed a WEFE Nexus system, currently tested at Jordan's King Talal Dam. This system reduces water loss from evaporation, a critical issue for Jordan, which loses 25 million cubic meters annually from its dams.

Upon successful implementation in Jordan and the Arab region, the system promises billions in cost savings and enhanced water security. It also boosts energy efficiency and production by 20%, providing affordable energy for farmers and extending solar panel lifespan. It supports healthier food cultivation, agricultural expansion, and ecological systems, embodying the principle: "Every Drop Counts."

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).

Our livers use enzymes to break down complex molecules, inspiring Sudoc, a non-toxic industrial cleaning solution. While traditional cleaning often relies on harsh chemicals, creating toxic conditions, Sudoc offers a sustainable alternative.

Sudoc employs biomimicry, mimicking liver enzymes to create catalysts. Paired with oxidants like hydrogen peroxide, these catalysts accelerate the breakdown of pathogens, drugs, pesticides, and industrial contaminants in land and water, achieving zero elemental toxicity.

The Biomimicry Institute recognized Sudoc in its 2022 Ray of Hope Prize Program. For more, visit Sudoc, Biomimicry Institute, AskNature, Root House Studio, and Ray C. Anderson Foundation.

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

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.

President Biden recently designated the Baaj Nwaavjo I’tah Kukveni – Ancestral Footprints of the Grand Canyon National Monument, protecting nearly 1 million acres around the national park.

President Biden recently designated the Baaj Nwaavjo I’tah Kukveni – Ancestral Footprints of the Grand Canyon National Monument, protecting nearly 1 million acres around the national park. Guided by the Grand Canyon Tribal Coalition, this action safeguards Tribal homelands and the region's watershed, culminating decades of effort.

In southern Angola’s Banda Chibia, drought once forced residents like Rita to walk for water. This struggle has ended. Through a partnership between the Government of Angola, the European Union, and FAO, the Banda Chibia Dam now secures water for agriculture and livelihoods. With over 21 million cubic meters capacity, it irrigates 750 hectares, supporting thousands and enabling climate-smart agriculture and resilience.

Farmer Field Schools taught communities efficient water management and sustainable farming, resulting in green fields, year-round harvests, and improved incomes. Rita now harvests food, not searching for water. This project demonstrates how partnership and innovation transform vulnerability into hope.

Addressing obsolete Soviet-era pesticides is an urgent priority in Central Asia and Türkiye. The FAO and GEF "Lifecycle Management of Pesticides" project tackles this challenge, promoting sustainable agriculture to safeguard health, restore land, and build a cleaner future.

Implemented across Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, and Türkiye, the project embeds Integrated Pest Management (IPM). This has significantly reduced pesticide use—70% in Türkiye and 80% in Kazakhstan—without sacrificing yields. The initiative also strengthens national capacities through training and technical guidelines, demonstrating that a healthier agricultural future is achievable through innovation and partnerships.

John Fullerton, founder of the Capital Institute, transitioned from Wall Street to become a sustainability advocate. Influenced by E.F. Schumacher's "Small is Beautiful," he collaborated with Allan Savory, founder of Holistic Management, to restore grasslands and return carbon to the soil. This work was highlighted in an October 2010 interview.

The Capital Institute seeks to harness capital for a just, resilient, and sustainable economic system. The Savory Institute restores global grasslands through Holistic Management. The Schumacher Society, founded in 1980, promotes strong local economies linking people, land, and community.

Colorado Parks and Wildlife released five GPS-collared gray wolves (three males, two females) from Oregon into Grand County on December 18, 2023. This historic effort aims to reestablish a healthy wolf population, fulfilling a 2020 voter mandate.

Under a finalized restoration plan, the agency will release up to 10 more wolves by mid-March 2024 and 30-50 over the next three to five years. The Center for Biological Diversity, a nonprofit, advocates for the protection of all species and their habitats through science and law.
