The National Agricultural Olympiad (NAO) assesses knowledge, identifies talent, and promotes achievements across vital agricultural disciplines, including agronomy, food technology, and veterinary medicine. It serves as Georgia's unique platform for professional knowledge evaluation and recognizing informal education, promoting the sector and raising youth awareness of agriculture and environmental protection.

Organized since 2021 by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) with support from Georgia's Ministry of Environmental Protection and Agriculture (MEPA) and the Austrian Development Agency (ADA), the NAO's concept was developed by the Agricultural Development Association, with EIEC of MEPA as a partner.

Free online data, including satellite, sensor, and climate models, empowers individuals to understand and address air pollution and climate change. These petabytes of resources offer immense value in devising solutions to critical environmental issues.

James Poetzscher, a 17-year-old high school student, exemplifies this. He has authored four research papers, mapped global air pollution decline for the European Environmental Bureau (published by BBC, Reuters), and created a global map inventory on his website greeenhousemaps.com. He also built an air quality data portal and writes for major media. James aims to inspire young people to take collective action on these century-defining issues.

Inaam Chattha, who experienced eco-anxiety as a teen, channeled his concern into environmental activism, volunteering, and exploring the intersection of race, land, grief. Now a medical student, he authored children's books on eco-emotions and was named a Top 25 Under 25 Environmentalist by Starfish Canada.

In 2023, Chattha launched Green Mind, a national, youth-led initiative. It provides culturally grounded educational materials and a bilingual Climate Wellness Toolkit to help young people, especially from underrepresented communities, cope with climate anxiety and take action. The toolkit is used in Ontario classrooms for somatic grounding, journaling, and peer connection.

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).
