The FAO's Rift Valley Fever Early Warning Decision Support Tool (RVF DST) is an innovative online platform. It strengthens early warning and response to Rift Valley fever (RVF), a persistent zoonotic disease in Africa. Built under the One Health framework, the RVF DST enhances real-time monitoring and multi-sectoral collaboration across animal, human, and environmental health.

By combining satellite data, climate trends, and field surveillance, the tool predicts RVF outbreaks up to three months ahead. This early insight allows farmers, veterinarians, and policymakers to take preventive action, protecting livestock, livelihoods, and lives. The RVF DST shifts countries from reactive response to proactive prevention, fostering resilient health systems and long-term One Health preparedness.

“The circular economy is more natural than we think,” states our speaker, a Doctor of Science from UNAM’s Institute of Geophysics and a Master in Volcanology/Geophysics from the University of Würzburg. She has conducted extensive research at international institutions across France, Australia, Germany, and the U.S., and worked as a consultant in Germany on environmental remediation and energy technology.

Currently, she is a Professor-Researcher at Universidad Panamericana, teaching engineering and languages. Her expertise includes engineering project development, the circular economy, renewable energies, and water/soil treatment. This talk was delivered at a TEDx event.

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.

On January 26, 2026, the Global Agenda for Sustainable Livestock (GASL) hosts Webinar 3, supporting the International Year of Rangelands and Pastoralists (IYRP) and the International Year of the Woman Farmer (IYWF). These 2026 observances recognize vital contributions of pastoralists, rangeland communities, and women farmers to sustainable food systems and rural development.

The webinar explores understanding, valuing, and promoting rangeland products. It highlights grassland systems, women's role in ruminant farming, and ecosystem services from grazing livestock. Subscribe to FAO on YouTube and visit FAO.org for more details.

Shubhanshi reframes sustainability as a crisis of broken relationships, not just broken systems. Drawing from the Bhagavad Gita, she introduces "Akash," an invisible field of connection often missing from modern climate discourse. Through personal stories and indigenous wisdom, she argues that ecological collapse mirrors inner fragmentation, emphasizing sustainability as relational restoration.

An 18-year-old filmmaker and environmental advocate, Shubhanshi Chakraborty directed the acclaimed, award-winning film "Natok." A UN Geneva Youth Icon, she studies Environmental Science and Sustainability and authored "Past is Forward." This TEDx talk highlights her commitment to rebuilding our relationship with the Earth.

Solving climate change demands bold experiments and a fundamental societal restructuring to achieve carbon neutrality. This massive effort requires global unity, akin to WWII, to reverse polarization and re-establish trust in collective action.

Jan Sendzimir, a systems ecologist with international experience, collaborates with scientists and laypeople to help communities address climate warming risks like droughts, floods, and fires. He uses modeling and field research within participatory processes to guide sustainable development in various river systems and the Sahel region.

As part of FAO's 80th Anniversary, former Assistant Regional Representative Eve Crowley reflects on the Organization's evolution and key food and agriculture challenges in Latin America and the Caribbean. This interview, part of a special series, highlights milestones that shaped a more integrated, field-oriented, and results-driven FAO.

Crowley discusses critical themes like food access, agrifood systems transformation, and climate change. She also addresses the COVID-19 pandemic's impact on food security, the shift to agile work, and FAO's commitment to underserved communities, including Indigenous Peoples, rural women, and small-scale producers, underscoring the region's leadership toward zero hunger.
