Seven years ago, Esther Bonney lost her brother to suicide at just 12 years old, leading her to find solace in nature. Her walks along a creek in Charles County, Maryland, sparked a passion for native pollinators and ecosystems, culminating in the founding of the nonprofit Nurture Natives in 2022 to promote biodiversity in the Chesapeake Bay region.

Nurture Natives collaborates with community organizations to offer educational programs and native plant giveaways. The nonprofit has engaged over 15,000 youth, planted 3 million native seeds, and restored 420 acres of habitat in Maryland. Recognized with the 2024 Presidential Environmental Youth Award, Bonney aims to expand this healing initiative nationwide.

During a summer job in 2024 as a trail host with the Southern Nevada Conservancy, USC student Garrett Ordonez observed visitors eager to photograph the landscape. This inspired him to create Hike for Habitats, a student-led organization that promotes environmental stewardship through guided hikes and hands-on conservation activities.

Following the January 2025 wildfires in Pacific Palisades, Hike for Habitats mobilized volunteers for recovery efforts, including debris removal in Altadena. The organization has expanded from five members to a community of 600, supported by partnerships with conservation groups. For Ordonez, the most rewarding aspect is seeing volunteers return for multiple events, fostering a strong commitment to ecosystem healing.

This video explores the intricate connections within food systems, highlighting how agroecology can bridge production and consumption for sustainability. By promoting agricultural diversification that includes trees, crops, and livestock, we can enhance biodiversity, soil health, and climate resilience while providing diverse, nutritious foods.

As demand for healthy, local, and sustainably produced foods grows, it encourages further diversification in production. This creates a virtuous cycle where diversified production, markets, diets, and supportive policies mutually reinforce each other. Guided by the 10 Elements of Agroecology, these interactions can transform agrifood systems, benefiting people, nature, and the climate.

The Agri-FIT project revolutionizes inclusive agriculture by removing barriers that exclude persons with disabilities from farming. This video showcases a specialized soilless farming system designed for wheelchair users and those with mobility impairments, featuring a plant-stem lifting mechanism that enables independent management of vertical crops like tomatoes and cucumbers.

Agri-FIT combines ergonomic design with environmental sustainability, optimizing water use and enhancing productivity. The project promotes autonomy and skill development, transforming agriculture into a field where physical limitations do not hinder the ability to create a sustainable livelihood.

The aroma of freshly brewed coffee and the warmth of a cup in hand create a moment of connection. Coffee transcends cultures and generations, linking economies and sustaining livelihoods. Each cup tells a story of dedication, from Ethiopian shade trees to Colombian hillsides, highlighting the 25 million farmers and workers behind this beloved beverage.

However, climate change and market fluctuations threaten their livelihoods. Supporting sustainable coffee production and empowering farmers, especially women, is crucial for a resilient future. This International Coffee Day, let’s honor the people behind every cup and work towards better production, nutrition, and environmental practices, ensuring that no one is left behind.

Actions on One Health: Voices from youth showcases insights from young professionals in agrifood systems, emphasizing the importance of the One Health approach. This video results from a call by the Global Youth Network on Sustainable Livestock Transformation, encouraging youth to share their inspirations and experiences related to One Health.

Over 100 videos from 40 countries were submitted, reflecting diverse perspectives on the interconnectedness of human, animal, plant, and environmental health. The video premiered at the FAO Global Conference for Actions on One Health in Agrifood Systems, held from September 21 to 23, 2026, at FAO headquarters in Rome.

This FAO Technical Lecture Series webinar, part of the FAO & AUN-AFS Research Proposal Competition for Youth 2026, introduces the One Health approach to combat antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in agrifood systems. Dr. Alessandro Patriarchi from FAO discusses AMR as a shared challenge across human, animal, plant, and environmental health, emphasizing the need for coordinated action.

The session highlights FAO’s RENOFARM initiative, which promotes responsible antimicrobial use and good practices in food production. It also underscores the importance of youth, researchers, and institutions in developing evidence-based solutions to mitigate AMR risks and enhance the sustainability of agrifood systems.
