Zeddy Rotich creates cooking and heating fuel from cow dung. A digester separates the gas, which she uses in her stove, from waste and water, which she uses to fertilize her coffee farm.
In Beijing, Stuart Oda grows produce in shipping containers and parking structures converted to vertical farms; he uses hydroponic systems. A third of the global economy is connected to agriculture. Current practices use large amounts of natural resources and chemicals.
In Dubai, indigenous plants help conserve water. Kamelia Bin Zaal works to change client attitudes toward native vegetation. Her “Beauty of Islam” garden won the silver medal at the Chelsea Flower Show.
Shakti Teker works to protect marine life; Mauritius dolphin watching has significantly increased. She educates skippers and the public on dangers posed to ocean animals. Tekker monitors population and behavior and lobbies for ecotourism regulation.
