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.

Rocky Mountain Institute (RMI) documented the University of California, San Diego's (UCSD) microgrid, a leading example of a locally controlled electricity network interconnected with the larger grid. This system manages 42 megawatts of generating capacity, comprising a central cogeneration plant, solar photovoltaic installations, and a fuel cell utilizing natural gas reclaimed from a landfill.

RMI seeks to identify and amplify solutions capable of transforming the electricity system. Learn more about their work at http://www.rmi.org/electricity.

The "Race for American Jobs: Clean Energy Leadership" was a four-week, coast-to-coast virtual campaign by BICEP, in partnership with We Can Lead. It aimed to highlight the economic and job-creation benefits of national climate and energy legislation, advocating for investment in a low-carbon economy and establishing a carbon price.

The campaign engaged business leaders nationwide through events in Oregon, Colorado, Ohio, and New Hampshire, concluding in Washington on March 10. Each event featured panel discussions with major consumer brands and local clean economy entrepreneurs, contributing to thought leadership in Sustainability, Clean Tech, and Energy in 2010.

Robin Wall Kimmerer emphasizes the transformative power of stories to shift our worldview. She suggests living "as if the world is a gift for which I need to be grateful, for which I need to reciprocate, for whom I am accountable," believing that a changed narrative can align our behaviors with nature.

Kimmerer joins AskNature to discuss cultural biomimicry, blending Western science with traditional ecological knowledge to navigate climate uncertainty. She also champions Plant Baby Plant, a grassroots movement encouraging people to "Raise a garden, and raise a ruckus!" Discover more at plantbabyplant.com.

This episode is hosted by Amanda Sturgeon and Andrew Howley, and is a project of The Biomimicry Institute.
