  • Well Into the Future

    Nevada launched a $25 million pilot program in 2023 that pays farmers to voluntarily retire groundwater rights in over-pumped basins. The state-funded buyback purchases water rights at competitive rates and retires them to reduce unsustainable groundwater extraction, with the help of local organizations like the Walker Basin Conservancy. Since forming, the program retired approximately 22,500 acre-feet of groundwater rights, and the program's success led to unanimous bipartisan legislation to expand it.

  • America's Rye Whiskey Resurgence Could Help the Climate, But Not By Itself

    The Rye Resurgence Project planted 4,000 acres of rye in Colorado's San Luis Valley, leading to a 30% reduction in soil nitrogen leaching, dramatically improved water infiltration, and reduced soil erosion and dust storms, while providing farmers with profitable markets that incentivize soil-protecting practices.

  • Mapping a fairer future: The open-source movement that's mobilising for climate resilience

    The Humanitarian OpenStreetMap Team (HOT) trains local communities to create and use open-source maps with low-cost tools like drones and mobile apps, enabling them to prepare for and respond to climate disasters. Firefighters used the maps to prevent casualties during a 2021 wildfire in Argentina, and in Kenya maps were used to secure World Bank funding for flood infrastructure improvements.

  • The Farmer Who Lets Nature Take the Lead

    Czech farmer Wenzel Lobkowicz adopted regenerative grazing on 200 hectares of degraded pastureland in Drahenice, moving cattle herds to fresh pasture sections daily to allow vegetation time to regenerate and soil to recover. After implementing this approach in 2019, Lobkowicz documented significant improvements, including a longer grazing season, deeper root systems, improved water retention and soil structure and increased biodiversity. Lobkowicz’s experience with regenerative farming has also inspired other area farmers to consider its feasibility.
