Since 2004, AeroFarms has envisioned a new, innovative method of farming–one that produces high-quality greens year-round, uses less water, and yields higher levels of produce. The story begins with Ed Hardwood, a Cornell professor and a pioneer in aeroponics–the process of growing plants with a nutrient-laden mist and without the use of soil–when he invented an aeroponic system using fleece cloth to grow greens. AeroFarms understood the future potential of this new method of farming, turned the idea into reality, and now operates the largest indoor vertical farm in the world in Newark, New Jersey.

Through the conventional means, the brewing process causes tons of water to be turned into waste; at Angry Erik Brewing, Heide and Erik literally threw out the book and made their own way of brewing. With a motivation to have a greener brewing process, they implemented using a heat exchanger which is a radiator like device that they use clean cool water on one side to cool their hot wort and in turn heat the clean water that they then use to clean the equipment. This saves on both heat energy and water waste which both also in turn helps save on costs.
The innovation helps in increasing the income of the farmers by getting them better prices for their produce and reducing their costs.

The innovation of the company is on the automation system as the Rotor is an improved version of the Flettner Rotor from 1926. The automation system calculates the wind’s conditions and when these are favourable, it launches the rotation of the turbine that creates a lift and pushes the boat, therefore reducing the fuel consumption. The innovation helps solving three SGDs: clean energy, innovation and infrastructure and climate action

EcoDesign addresses Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 9 - Industry Innovation and Infrastructure, and SDGs 12 - Responsible Consumption and Production.
Catalina Sea Ranch wants to grow giant kelp off the coast of California and convert it into biofuel. Kelp is the fastest growing organism on the planet, it can be converted into bioehtanol and bio jet fuel fuels, it sequesters carbon dioxide out of the ocean and regenerates the ocean by mitigating ocean acidification. This is an opportunity to help California reach its goal to have 100% of its energy renewable by 2045 and to protect the environment that is being polluted by jet fuels that are increasing every day.

Helloscience is a new, online collaboration network that aims to bring together innovators, start-ups, and companies to find solutions to global challenges such as water scarcity and wastewater biotechnology.
For each ton of steel produced, the Colombian steel companies produce 125 Kg of Scoria. Monthly a Steel Company produces 35000 Tons of Steel on average, so monthly they are generating 4.3 Tons of Scoria. In Colombia there are currently five Steel Companies operating, two in the Boyaca Department.
The Scoria is an aggregate made to oxides: calcium oxide, silicon oxide, magnesium oxide and iron oxide.
For this, the material is very strong, wear resistant and high density, very difficult to destroy, according to laboratory tests the scoria is not toxic.
Nowadays, the disposition for this scrap is burial, in cells building specially for this process, but then the land cannot used for agriculture or cattle raising
The innovation is the use the scoria instead of burial, BB Equipos Topograficos process the scrap, recuperate steel for the steel Company and the residual “Black Scoria” is used to made brick Lego for building.
Through the use of bacteria and innovative water treatment processes, GRUMA is able to reuse 90% of the water that nixtamalization requires, thus saving 5.5 billions of liters of water per year.

On 13 February 1996, the Maoists in Nepal waged a decade long civil war. It ended with the signing of the Comprehensive Peace Accord on 21 November 2006 between the political parties and the Maoists. The decade long war took a toll of over 17,000 people and displaced hundreds of thousands. People still remember the period as a great tragedy and a nightmare in Nepal’s modern day political history.
One of the most important routes in this war was the guerilla trail stretching around 30 Km from Beni Bazar to Sulichour in Rolpa district. The route was a place for Maoists' hideouts, training ground and surprise attacks. Many historical events took place there and hundreds of people were shot, killed, maimed and wounded. While people still remember the war as a big tragedy, the route stood as Maoists’ renaissance ground. The route is now preserved and converted into a trekking route for the curious and adventure seeking tourists. Under the initiatives of the locals and Government of Nepal, this route is now developed as a trekking route and has started welcoming hundreds of tourists both foreign and Nepalese.
The route provides an opportunity for the tourists and trekkers to see the effect of the Maoist war and have a feel of the war-time situation in remote areas and rugged terrain of Western Nepal, especially, the Rukum and Rolpa districts. The route covers major war affected areas of the western region of Nepal where the Maoists established their headquarters and declared the region as their base area. In spite of a blooded past, these days, the route is very much peaceful and offers an excellent view of the snowy Himalayas in the north and tourists get to have first-hand experiences of the life in remote areas.
The innovation is to generate a higher performance motor based on water to generate less pollutants.
The story of Urban Farm began when Gonzalo realized that small farmers in Nuevo León, México were used to produce tons of a single type of product (monoculture) and most of the time they sold them very cheap, barely making a profit on its production. Placing their products in the market with the current international competition was difficult, so Gonzalo built up a team and together they found another way around to put this farmer's products in the market for a fairer price.
Solar panels can help us achieve more sustainability in cities and communities. By using the sun’s energy and transforming it into clean electricity, we are taking climate action by reducing carbon emissions. This is an example of responsible consumption and production in an age where the environment is in a fragile state.
