Seth Watkins, a fourth-generation farmer at Pinhook Farm in Clarinda, Iowa, is a passionate advocate for sustainable agriculture. He champions land and natural resource stewardship, focusing on water quality and restoring prairies, woodlands, and riparian corridors. His overarching mission is to build an equitable food system that values equality, inclusion, and accessibility.

Through conservation practices, Seth promotes healthy, diverse landscapes, aiming to prevent future shortages of nutritious food and clean water. He contributes to this mission by serving on the boards of several nonprofit conservation organizations, including the Iowa Natural Heritage Foundation and Iowa Learning Farms.

Seth lives with his wife, Christy, and their two children. This profile relates to a TEDx talk. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx.

Geothermal energy, despite lower carbon emissions than coal, is not benign. Projects like Nevada's proposed Baltazor site highlight significant environmental and social costs. Geothermal development leads to habitat destruction (e.g., in Kenya and for Nevada's Dixie Valley toad) and violent evictions of indigenous communities.

Drilling releases toxic elements like mercury, arsenic, and boron into groundwater. Facilities also cause air pollution, including sulfur dioxide and hydrogen sulfide, contributing to acid rain and health issues, as seen in Iceland. Moreover, "enhanced geothermal systems" (EGS) utilize fracking technology, injecting high-pressure slurries that can poison groundwater and induce earthquakes, mirroring problems in the oil and gas industry.

Technology is vital for sustainable agriculture, especially in water conservation. Techniques like drip irrigation precisely deliver water, while hydroponics recycles every drop, boosting yields ten-fold and strengthening plants. The focus is on "right-tech," not just high or low, paving the way for autonomous farms.

Sachin, CEO of Simply Fresh Private Limited, exemplifies this innovation. His team successfully combined hydroponic soil-less farming with AI to create "Farm in A Box" (FiAB), India's largest state-of-the-art precision farm. This transformative approach was shared at a TEDx event.

Anishinaabe Elder Nii Gaani Aki Inini (Dr. Dave Courchene) advocates for youth to learn ancestral land stewardship, re-establishing a sacred relationship with Earth. His insights were central to "Setting the Foundation for Good Relations in Our Homeland," a January 2021 webinar where nearly 500 Canadian health leaders met virtually. Led by the National Turtle Lodge Council of Knowledge Keepers, the event addressed racism in healthcare.

Food loss is a major challenge in Africa; up to 50% of produce never reaches markets, impacting farmer incomes and food security. Agricycle addresses this using passive solar dehydrators and market linkages, helping over 35,000 farmers globally secure fair prices and invest in a better life.

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.

The UK, hosting COP26 in November 2021, is committed to significant climate action and a Net Zero Strategy. Achieving net zero requires government, business, and civil society to partner, ensuring a credible pathway and ambitious emissions reductions across all sectors.

CLG UK's report, "Bridging the gap: UK business and policy leadership for net zero," analyzes progress in power, built environment, road transport, and agriculture. It outlines how business and government can collaborate to bridge the gap between current efforts and necessary ambition. This report was launched via a webinar exploring UK climate leadership.
