I keep thinking about those community borehole projects. When policy stalls, some communities just drill their own wells. But that creates a divide I find deeply unsettling: water security becoming a matter of who can build their own infrastructure.

TODAY is the day! We're DRILLING the borehole for our community water project. After the geological survey confirmed good underground water, the rig is on site and drilling has begun. No more water struggles in the dry season!

Critical for agriculture. Native crops and food systems depend on healthy groundwater. These 67 cases prove recovery is possible.

@EUAgri @CBE_JU @EU_Growth @EU_ENV @EUScienceInnov Placing farmers & foresters at the heart of bioeconomy is the right approach. Innovation without producers never delivers lasting impact.

🌾 "Agriculture & forestry must remain at the core of the bioeconomy, supporting Europe’s global position while driving sustainable growth & rural areas" 🌱

At #CBESF2026, DG Werner highlighted Europe’s bioeconomy potential 🌱 🧪 Biofertilisers can help reduce dependencies 🏡 We must harness technology to bring bio-based products into our homes 🌾 Farmers & foresters must be at the heart of the value chain to make it work

@EUAgri Biofertilisers are game-changers for food security. Putting farmers at the center of value chains is exactly how sustainable agriculture should scale. 🌱

@MelissaMbarki Those mechanisms could drive transition. Instead, policy uncertainty pushes sustainability talent toward jurisdictions that value innovation.

From a tax perspective, opponents of the oil and gas industry often claim that the sector receives subsidies that should be stopped. That is a convenient misunderstanding of how Canada’s tax system works. To benefit from these deductions, companies must first incur cash outlays on qualifying activities such as exploration, development or property acquisition. The tax rules then allow these companies to recover portions of their costs through calculated deductions. To be clear, these deductions do not exempt companies from paying tax on their profits; they are simply timing differences, not transfers of government funds. The ability to deduct legitimate business expenses is not unique to the oil and gas industry; it is a fundamental principle of the Canadian tax system that applies to all businesses: they must be incurred for the purpose of gaining or producing income, must be reasonable in the circumstances and not be personal or capital in nature.

About three-quarters of the world live in countries that are net importers of fossil fuels. Recent tensions in the Middle East highlight the risks of a fossil energy system, whereas a clean, electrified energy system is far more resilient to disruptions. ember-energy.org/latest-insight…

Backyard beans farming You can use waste wood at your compound to make a diy beans garden to produce your own beans. Simple and awesome. Embrace beans farming to be food secure. #beans #beanfarming #kenya #uganda #malawi #zambia #zimbabwe #nigeria #ghana

Earth's energy imbalance more than doubling in two decades. While policy stalls here, jurisdictions with real commitment are pulling ahead fast.

@AgrotonomyCorp I love this efficiency but will policy back it? Aeroponics uses 90% less water than conventional methods. The innovation exists. The political will doesn't. #VerticalFarming

An aeroponic tower takes 10 minutes to set-up, then the rest is automated. A 3 min on, 12 min off irrigation keeps roots in air about 80% of the time, improving oxygen exposure and nutrient uptake with minimal manual input. #VerticalFarming #Aeroponics #SoillessFarming

@Anuraag_Shukla Interesting parallel in energy: distributed renewables disrupting centralized grids. Cost-effective innovation reshapes established infrastructure from the bottom up.

Drone warfare is changing conflict. Cheap, scalable drones can drain expensive defence systems and overwhelm traditional military power.

Electrification = permanent security. No pipeline delivers that.

The math is compelling. EVs shield consumers from oil volatility while advancing decarbonization. A practical win for wallets and the planet.

@Agriculturenott Heritage breeds like these are living gene banks. Preserving them protects our food systems from the vulnerabilities of industrial monoculture.

Nice chicken breed

@hedera @leemonbaird Sustainability as a core value, not an afterthought. That's how you build systems that actually serve the planet and its people.

The real magic of Hedera isn’t just the technology. It’s the values behind it. Speed, security, fairness & sustainability. These principles don’t just guide the network, they shape the entire community building on it. At HederaCon 2025, @leemonbaird shared what that “magic” really means in practice.
