Guatemala's third largest export, coffee, thrives on the country's mountainous slopes. However, changing rainfall, rising temperatures, and a fungus called "coffee rust" threaten this vital crop and the livelihoods of indigenous farmers in the region.

Scientists believe they have found a way to ensure climate models are correct, which might help these farmers adapt. Filmmaker Mari Cleven interviews researchers Diego Pons and Kevin Anchukaitis about their work in the informative short film, "Climate Research Offers Coffee Farmers Hope For Their Crops."

Babs Behan, a Natural Dyer and "Soil-to-Soil" Textile specialist, challenges us to consider our clothes' origins. She highlights the textile industry's shift from natural herbal dyes to a "chemical era" of toxic fashion, urging us to rethink what we put on our skin and Earth. Babs advocates for making daily dressing an act of activism.

Author of "Botanical Inks" and founder of Botanical Inks Natural Dye House, Babs launched Bristol Cloth in 2014. This British-based, circular textile system uses regenerative farming and heritage natural dyes to restore environments, ensure animal welfare, and sustain local culture.

Join world-renowned researcher Dr. Alberto Burquez for a free presentation on giant columnar cacti, including Arizona's iconic saguaros. Dr. Burquez will detail his research on their evolutionary history, ecology, adaptations to the Sonoran Desert, and the effects of climate change.

A researcher at the Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México (UNAM), Dr. Burquez is a co-author of "The Saguaro Cactus: A Natural History" and an expert in columnar cacti population ecology and genetics. His work also covers plant-animal relationships and land-use change in the Sonoran Desert.

Motivated by the disparity between advanced deforestation technology and stagnant tree planting methods, Bryce Jones founded Flash Forest. As Canada's first drone reforestation company, Flash Forest aims to create a practical, scalable solution to accelerate global reforestation and address the climate crisis.

Flash Forest's mission is to maximize carbon sequestration and restore ecosystems worldwide. CEO Bryce Jones envisions planting one billion trees by 2028, with continued efforts beyond this ambitious goal.

Bryce leads Flash Forest from Toronto, Ontario. This talk was given at a TEDx event. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx.

In the 1970s and 80s, the Ecology Action Center (then Operation Recycle) used recycling profits to plant trees at Comlara Park on Evergreen Lake. These trees now form the beautiful woods surrounding the lake, enriching our lives year-round. Learn more about tree planting efforts: https://ecologyactioncenter.org/climate/tree-corps/

Myra Gordon, Executive Director of the Illinois Prairie Community Foundation, had a diverse career. She served as a Girl Scout Professional, Executive Director for Operation Recycle, and worked at State Farm before leading the Illinois Prairie Community Foundation. She also volunteers for organizations like the Ecology Action Center.

In an era of extreme social, political, and religious polarization, healthy communities are vital. Utilizing community empowerment and development principles through agriculture can foster sustainability.

Buddy Walker, called to international missions at 16, developed extensive experience in disaster relief, mission coordination, and sustainable community development partnerships. His agricultural expertise, including soil science and micro-intensive farming, culminated in the 2012 establishment of the Empower School & Farm in Umatilla, Florida.

This residential program trains individuals in Christian discipleship, micro-enterprise, sustainable agriculture, and world missions. This talk was presented at a TEDx event. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx.

The Agri-FIT project revolutionizes inclusive agriculture by removing physical barriers for persons with disabilities. It features a specialized soilless farming system, designed with universal principles, allowing wheelchair users and those with mobility impairments to manage, prune, and harvest vertical crops independently using an innovative plant-stem lifting mechanism.

Beyond ergonomics, Agri-FIT combines social equity with environmental sustainability. This soilless technology optimizes water use and boosts productivity, fostering autonomy and skill development. The project transforms agriculture, enabling individuals to build livelihoods and contribute to a sustainable food system.

Former U.S. Energy Secretary Dr. Steven Chu, who oversaw a doubling of renewable energy

Former U.S. Energy Secretary Dr. Steven Chu, who oversaw a doubling of renewable energy deployment from 2009-2013, addresses if falling fossil fuel prices threaten wind and solar power.

Chu explains that 78% of U.S. economies have state-mandated renewable portfolio standards, requiring a fraction of clean energy. Renewables, currently supplying 13% of U.S. electricity, have seen significant cost reductions. Wind power, even without subsidies, is nearly as inexpensive as natural gas.

Solar generation in sunny regions nears cost parity with new natural gas plants. Wind and solar costs are projected to decline for decades, potentially making them competitive with any new energy source across much of the U.S. within a decade.

Join host Jeff Corwin on "Wildlife Nation" as he explores North America's remarkable reptiles. He visits Florida to see how a nuclear power plant aids American crocodile habitat and uncovers the Eastern indigo snake, the continent's largest non-venomous species. Later, Jeff helps save a beloved turtle in Massachusetts.

Teaming up with Defenders of Wildlife, Corwin celebrates these incredible creatures and the dedicated conservationists protecting them. You're invited to join this adventure.

Ecological restoration is challenging, with many advanced technologies being costly and complex. However, effective, low-tech "old school" methods have been successfully employed by land managers

Ecological restoration is challenging, with many advanced technologies being costly and complex. However, effective, low-tech "old school" methods have been successfully employed by land managers for decades.

Dr. Elise Gornish, a UA restoration ecologist, will share these accessible techniques, from seed balls to rock lunas, for restoring disturbed ecosystems. Her work focuses on arid land restoration and integrating approaches into weed management. She also directs UA GALS, a program offering STEM leadership to underserved female high school students.
