Excellent Development initially supplies seeds which are available for members of self-help groups to use. The farmers commit to return double the quantity of seeds after harvest, building up their own seed store - ensuring that there will be seed to plant in the coming seasons, even if one harvest fails. Communities create 'independence', improving food security.

The Secondary school covers 6 host-communities in the Zalingei region along with some children of nomad pastoralists. It serves 780 girls with 13 classrooms.
The Community-Driven Development grant covered the rehabilitation of 2 classrooms, the construction of 1 classroom and the construction and an office. The community contributed sand, soil, compact soil and water.
Before this there were more than 80 students in one classroom. This development helped to increase the attendance, as well as space for the existing students.
A new community garden has been created by community members in Lodz for the Municipal Social Therapy Centre for Youth.
Constructed according to the principles of permaculture design, the garden encourages community life, environmental awareness and the sustainable development of urban areas.

Rio de Janeiro, looking very different than looking from its main touristy beaches.
Note the new cable car connection, perhaps a controversial project, claiming to provide connections to the citizens of the favelas and reduce crime. Nevertheless, it was with little sign of locals, when we were there. A curiosity among an neighbourhood, which is lacking many basic facilities for a quality life. Its building costs are said to reach 210 million R$ (1 R$ = 0,39 €, 6/2012).
On Monday, after dropping my son off at the Airport in his shiny black Chevy Volt I hung out in Winthrop to avoid the morning rush traffic into Boston. I headed in around 10am to US Fed District Court to pick up a Pass for Media coverage of the same. I turned left on Farnsworth thinking it was a through street. Instead it was a dead end with RCN on the right and what? on the left. I tried both ends for another outlet out. Then turned around heading a right turn out onto Farnsworth. Whatever happened that I did not see this short pile of cones was beyond me., In a split second it seemed I was hearing sounds no one wants to hear. I backed up and knew there had been some serious damage., OMG what a shame. I think it was the sun coming over the buildings as the only shot I have here is from an hour or so later and it was still piercing down pretty bright. I saw nothing. I was so shocked and saddened. My journey into the City was so pleasant driving slowly from 99 to South Station. I thought that was a cool way to come in again . I had never tried that and I loved that route. Then this happened. I had fire police ambulance tow trucks and me delivered to a Body Shop in Revere I had experience with before by 3pm I was ready to bus it home. Got home at 800pm. What a day you don't want to happen. The Fire Department said this never should have been there and removed the 36inch pipe putting it against the wall. They stuffed the cones into the hole and then the police showed up. The police paid a visit to the building 46 Farnsworth and that manager came out and stated the property was owned by Boston Globe or Sustainable Development. Whoever stuffed that pipe into the hole was what I call meathead anonymous. I will forever be ungrateful for that move. Can you hear plastic crunching and metal scraping and grimy fluid draining like blood on the gound? Sad Sad Sad

Through a Green Fund investment, each Rweru Green Village household receives a pregnant cow. The cow provides milk for the family and the manure will be used to power biogas systems being installed in August 2016. The cow sheds were also built as a result of the fund's investment. This cow shed can accommodate 138 cows.

Living Earth Foundation has been working in Nigeria since 1996, previously in partnership with the Living Earth Nigeria Foundation (LENF).
Living Earth Foundation has primarily worked in two key states in Nigeria; Bayelsa and Cross River State, located in the heart of the Niger River Delta on the southern coast of Nigeria. The Delta region is one of Nigeria’s most biodiversity rich areas; its mangrove forest is the largest in Africa and the third largest in the world. The area also contains Nigeria’s main oil reserves and since the discovery of oil in the region in 1956, major infrastructural developments including the building of roads and pipelines, along with an influx of migrant workers have taken place. Two million people now live in Bayelsa State and this, along with on-going development, is greatly impacting on the Delta’s ecosystem.
The natural resources of the Niger Delta are vital to the livelihoods of communities living there; communities generate income through livelihoods including farming, hunting, fishing and trading in forest products. As the oil industry has expanded, increased immigration and access to forests and fisheries has resulted in an over exploitation and unsustainable use of the Delta’s natural resources, threatening the livelihoods of the inhabitants in the area.
Living Earth’s community development and environmental education work enables communities to identify and address environmental problems whilst learning to manage their own resources.

Eight years ago Kenbesh Mengesha earned an uncertain income collecting firewood from local government forests and selling them to her fellow slum-dwellers in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. She would earn on average about 50 cents a day, if she was lucky.

From intensifying hurricanes to melting icecaps, climate change is causing unprecedented disruption around the globe.
And it is the largest single threat to sustainable development.
Our region, Eastern Europe and Central Asia, is no exception. In the last three decades alone, floods, droughts and melting glaciers have caused 50,000 fatalities, affected nearly 25 million people and resulted in over US$80 billion in damage.
In Belarus, we helped build the country’s biggest wind-farm. Wind energy could help Belarus become energy-independent by 2050.

The hydro power project of Suweco is the first renewable energy resources that help stabilize the power supply in Catanduanes province."

Singapore has a rich biodiversity for an island of its size. As a comparison, Singapore, which is 0.2% the size of UK, has some 360 species of birds or 60% of the number of species found in the UK. This is despite us having a vibrant economy, one of the highest population densities in the world, and no countryside or hinterland.
To promote and enhance biodiversity, NParks is developing an action plan – the Singapore National Biodiversity Strategy and Action Plan – to conserve our natural heritage for the next 10-15 years.
Read more about the action plan in the Sustainable Development Blueprint at www.sustainablesingapore.gov.sg.
Transport hubs such as MRT stations and bus interchanges make it easy for people to get around towns.

The lead up to the COP15 nurtured a lot of hope and ambition for sustainable development, but at Find Your Feet we were keen to know what will be its impact on agriculture and consequently, on the lives of the rural farmers who categorically depend on it.
