This video highlights FAO's decade-long cooperation with the Government of Azerbaijan to strengthen its agricultural sector. Joint efforts focused on policy, institutional support, crop and livestock development, animal health, plant protection, education, and research.

Over 20,000 farmers, officials, and rural communities benefited from training, equipment, and modern practices in livestock, potato farming, and beekeeping. This initiative reflects FAO’s commitment to sustainable, innovative, and inclusive agrifood systems in Azerbaijan.

In 2022, aspiring marine biologist Asa Miller, with deep roots in Cuba, learned about coral restoration efforts in the country's Matanzas Province. Recognizing that developing nations like Cuba disproportionately suffer from global coral loss and often lack resources, Miller launched `¡Viva el Vivero!` (Long Live the Nursery!) in 2023. This international campaign to restore Cuba's stunning coral reefs has since won multiple conservation awards.

During visits to Matanzas, 17-year-old Miller interviewed divers and scientists, analyzed coral nursery data, and mapped restoration sites. Back in New York, he founded a high school marine biology club to raise funds for planting coral fragments. Miller also produced an award-winning documentary showcasing his team's restoration methods, serving as a primer for other developing countries.

Humanity is increasingly turning to nature's wisdom, or biomimicry, to solve critical challenges like sustainable nutrition. Visionary Janine Benyus illustrates how agriculture is evolving from single-solution approaches to system-savvy, nature-inspired healing.

Benyus previews innovative entries from the Biomimicry Global Design Challenge in food systems. She highlights how the "democratization of invention" fosters collaborative, biomimetic solutions, as teams collectively discover systemic ideas. Cooperation, she notes, is vital for learning from life's genius.

Late Native American scholar John Mohawk explored the interrelationship of human evolution and today's climate crisis. He observed that historically, hunter-gatherers and farmers maintained an intimate knowledge of the natural world, especially plants, a connection now rapidly diminishing.

Mohawk highlighted "Native American pragmatism," which successfully balanced practical and spiritual aspects for millennia. He argued that re-establishing this kinship with the plant world, guided by such pragmatism, is crucial for surviving dramatic climatic changes.
