Seaweed farming is a key opportunity for Blue Transformation in Latin America and the Caribbean, led by Chile, Venezuela, and Brazil. It provides sustainable food, supports coastal livelihoods, strengthens local economies, and delivers environmental benefits such as ecosystem restoration and carbon capture.

This video highlights FAO’s perspective on seaweed farming as a pathway to inclusive, low-carbon, and sustainable development. Subscribe to FAO on YouTube and follow us on Facebook and other social media platforms.

During the Covid-19 pandemic, 16-year-old Riya Chandra discovered a passion for hiking but noticed a lack of girls of color in outdoor spaces. Research revealed historical non-inclusivity and systemic barriers preventing families of color from accessing nature, validating her own experiences.

To address this, Chandra founded HYPE: GIRLS (Hiking Youth Program for Equity: Girls) in 2021. The program organizes hikes, nature walks, and lectures for teenage girls of color in New York's Westchester and Yonkers areas. HYPE: GIRLS fosters a safe, inclusive community, promoting nature interaction for coping and self-discovery. It aims to inspire young people to protect our environment and become role models for future generations.

Grace became a primary caregiver for her grandparents at a young age, an experience that ignited her passion for elderly care. Raised by them, she intimately understands the challenges of the caregiving journey and the critical need for preparation and support.

Driven by her firsthand experience, Grace founded Agewhale, a startup dedicated to transforming elderly care through innovative solutions. She offers valuable guidance for navigating the often-overlooked yet inevitable aspects of end-of-life care, aiming to make it a meaningful experience.

Before Agewhale, Grace led the social enterprise Fair Employment Agency as General Manager, fighting forced labor for migrant domestic workers. This talk was presented at an independently organized TEDx event. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx.

Intropic Materials has developed a groundbreaking solution for rapid plastic degradation. Inspired by nature, they embed enzymes directly into plastics. Protected by biodegradable covers during production, these enzymes mimic "chaperone proteins" to ensure their effectiveness.

When composted, these enzymes quickly break down plastics from the inside out into simpler, biodegradable molecules within hours or days. This eliminates slow microbial breakdown and harmful microplastics, promoting a circular economy or natural degradation in soil and water.
