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).

The Food Systems Integrated Program (FSIP), a joint initiative by FAO, IFAD, and the Global Environment Facility (GEF), is transforming food systems across 32 countries. It aims to foster sustainable, resilient, inclusive, and nature-positive practices.

A video features Peter Umunay (GEF Secretariat) explaining FSIP's focus on integration, inclusion, and impact. This interview was recorded at the First Global Meeting of the Food Systems Integrated Program and the 2025 Standing Committee on Finance Forum, held at FAO in Rome from September 8–12, 2025.

Climate change not only destroys land but also erases cultures, identities, and ways of knowing. In this talk, Riley Devereaux explains how rising seas and climate displacement inflict cultural and epistemic violence on Indigenous communities, such as those in Tuvalu. Riley argues that climate action must be recognized as a human rights responsibility, not just an environmental concern.

Riley Devereaux, a senior at Battlefield High School, is a passionate advocate for politics and civic engagement, holding numerous leadership positions. This talk was delivered at a TEDx event, educating the community on these critical issues. Learn more at ted.com/tedx.

Rivers are major conduits, carrying waste from land to the ocean. To combat this, we launched our 30 Cities Program, strategically deploying Interceptor technology in key waterways responsible for the most pollution.

First deployments of this program are anticipated in the coming months. Follow our progress for updates on new deployments.

In southern Angola’s Banda Chibia, drought once forced residents like Rita to walk for water. This struggle has ended. Through a partnership between the Government of Angola, the European Union, and FAO, the Banda Chibia Dam now secures water for agriculture and livelihoods. With over 21 million cubic meters capacity, it irrigates 750 hectares, supporting thousands and enabling climate-smart agriculture and resilience.

Farmer Field Schools taught communities efficient water management and sustainable farming, resulting in green fields, year-round harvests, and improved incomes. Rita now harvests food, not searching for water. This project demonstrates how partnership and innovation transform vulnerability into hope.

Sahara silver ants exhibit an extraordinary tolerance for extreme temperatures, surviving heat that would be fatal to other land animals. However, even these resilient creatures can only endure the desert's scorching conditions for less than ten minutes.

This captivating clip is from 'Africa' (2013), an epic documentary exploring the continent's diverse landscapes and mesmerising creatures. Discover more thought-provoking natural history content from BBC Earth, offering 50 years of dramatic and exclusive stories.

The world's agricultural heritage is sustained by the voices and faces of farmers, fishers, and herders globally. For millennia, these women and men have preserved our agricultural legacy, using traditional knowledge, creativity, and innovation to produce food while caring for the land, air, and water that sustain us.

Let's celebrate these vital people and honor the traditions that feed our future. Learn more about Globally Important Agricultural Heritage Systems (GIAHS) at fao.org/giahs/en.

Rivers act as arteries, carrying land waste to the ocean. Our Interceptors are deployed to stop this flow.

After removing trash, we ensure it won't re-enter the water. We collaborate with local partners for responsible disposal, prioritizing recycling and strictly adhering to local regulations.
