NASA scientists are actively engaged in discussions concerning global food security. Their unique expertise, often stemming from space exploration and Earth observation, provides valuable insights into this critical challenge.

These discussions likely explore how space-based technologies, such as satellite monitoring, can enhance agricultural practices, predict crop yields, and manage resources more effectively. Furthermore, research into sustainable food systems for long-duration space missions offers potential solutions applicable to terrestrial food production, addressing future food needs.

Nature-based solutions (NbS) offer multiple benefits for business, nature, and people, yet their adoption by companies to meet climate goals and mitigate risks remains limited. Increased corporate engagement across value chains is crucial for achieving a net-zero, nature-positive world.

CISL acknowledges the challenges companies face in adopting NbS, particularly in quantifying benefits for initial projects like regenerative agriculture. To address this, CISL, with support from the We Mean Business Coalition, launched a diagnostic tool in March 2022 to help unlock NbS investments within value chains.

An upcoming webinar, part of CISL’s project to support business to #GetNBSready, will explore progress on nature-positive ambitions, discuss implementation challenges, and demonstrate how this tool can assist companies.

Today's corporate economy is radically unequal and unsustainable, prompting a search for alternatives. This episode explores community wealth building, a strategy to reorganize local and national economies for better outcomes for people, communities, and the planet. Guest host Laura Flanders features Democracy Collaborative's Marjorie Kelly, Preston City Council Member Matthew Brown, and Scottish Government adviser Neil McInroy.

This is part two of a four-part series on how communities transform local economies by harnessing assets and anchoring capital locally. Explore the full series here. Additional resources include the Democracy Collaborative and Marjorie Kelly's book, Wealth Supremacy.

On September 12, 2024, WECAN launched its "Gendered and Racial Impacts of the Fossil Fuel Industry in North America" report. This fourth edition details how fossil fuel extraction disproportionately harms women, particularly in Black, Brown, Indigenous, and low-income communities, leading to increased health risks, violence, and human rights violations. It also identifies complicit financial institutions and recommends steps for accountability and a just transition.

The virtual launch featured frontline women leaders, health experts, and advocates. Speakers like Roishetta Sibley Ozane, Rene Ann Goodrich, Sharon Lavigne, and Casey Camp Horinek demanded that financial institutions take action to protect communities, ecosystems, and the climate.

Wallace’s flying frogs employ a unique camouflage strategy: masquerading as bird droppings. Researchers discovered that young froglets, painted to resemble fecal matter with red and white splotches, were attacked half as often by predators as those with solid colors. This "fecal camo" helps these young frogs survive to adulthood, allowing them to grow into the green, web-footed adults found in rainforest canopies.

This fascinating research was highlighted by the Center for Biological Diversity in [Endangered Earth Online](https://www.biologicaldiversity.org/publications/earthonline/endangered-earth-online-no1231.html) and a [Scientific American report](https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/this-flying-frog-spends-its-youth-masquerading-as-poop/). The Center, a 501c3 nonprofit, works to protect diverse wild species through science, law, and creative media, ensuring a future where the wild thrives.
