With all eight native freshwater turtle species of Ontario considered at-risk, researchers have created protective nests to help boost offspring survival. Researchers at the University of Waterloo and McMaster University designed a nest with materials like moss and lichen to mimic the turtles’ natural rocky nesting sites. As the research team pointed out in their […]

Water and Energy for Food Grand Challenge Final Evaluation Webinar

The water-energy-food nexus faces many challenges that negatively impact the farmers growing our food – not enough water, potential effects of climate change, difficulty connecting to markets, inaccessible renewable energy technologies, and a lack of agricultural knowledge, to name a few. However, with all these challenges come opportunities for businesses, non-profits, and academic/research organizations to step in, leverage their innovative solutions, and help improve the agricultural sector’s sustainability while helping farmers grow more food with less water and energy. One of the ways in which these innovations have been able to scale and create impact, is through the Water and Energy for Food Grand Challenge.
Since 2020, the Water and Energy for Food (WE4F) Grand Challenge has worked with innovators through five Regional Innovation Hubs covering East Africa, Middle East and North Africa, South and Southeast Asia, Southern and Central Africa and West Africa. These hubs have provided more than 135 innovators with grants, technical assistance, investment facilitation, and enabling environment support. Through this support, innovators scaled their nexus solutions, impacting 3.6 million end-users and helping them grow 6.8 million tons of food, save 1.2 billion kilowatt-hours of energy, reduce water consumption by 10.8 billion liters, and prevent 1.5 million tons of CO2e.
As the program draws to a close over the next year, there are many lessons learned and recommendations to be shared with the broader community. To begin learning about WE4F’s experiences, the program cordially invites you to attend a webinar scheduled for June 18th at 9am ET.
Entitled “Water and Energy for Food Grand Challenge – Final Evaluation Webinar”, and hosted by Dexis Consulting Group, this webinar will present findings on USAID-implemented activities in the Middle East and North Africa, South and Southeast Asia, and Southern and Central Africa.

For the first time, a NASA satellite has been launched with the purpose of improving the ability to predict climate change by measuring the heat that escapes from Earth’s poles. The satellite — the first of a pair — is in orbit following lift-off from Rocket Lab’s Electron rocket in Māhia, New Zealand, on Saturday, […]
