Sand dams provide water for vegetable nurseries. Increasing the range of produce grown improves both nutrition and food security. Because they are spending less time collecting water, people are free to spend more time working on their farms. A wider variety of crops can be grown to feed both people and their livestock.

Billions in Subsidies Prop up Unsustainable Overfishing
By Christopher Pala
WASHINGTON, Nov 8 (IPS) Calls are mounting for the world's big fishing powers to stop subsidising international fleets that use destructive methods like bottom trawling in foreign coastal waters, drastically reducing the catch of local artisanal fishers who use nets and fishing lines.

Another aerial view of the power of intermittent rivers across the landscape. These rivers are a Catch 22: they can provide much needed water storage (if you know where to look) but also ravage communities when they unexpectedly shift course during floods.

In 2010, Living Earth Foundation launched the pan African Waste to Wealth programme. The project responds to specific challenges faced by poor people living in urban slums in Africa.
The programme encourages all sectors of society to develop collaborative solutions to tackle the challenges of waste management. We support entrepreneurs, micro enterprises, social ventures and community groups to generate an income through waste recycling, and to develop public private partnerships with local government to improve waste collection and waste management in poor slum areas.
Living Earth’s Waste to Wealth programme is funded by the European Union, the UK Government’s Department for International Development and Comic Relief, and is currently active in Cameroon, Nigeria, Uganda and Sierra Leone.

Jeffrey D. Sachs, Director of The Earth Institute at Columbia University and Special Advisor to UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon.
Jeffrey D. Sachs' supporting statement for the Campaign for Climate Justice:
"What’s happening on climate combined with other pressures on our planet – population pressures, pressures of refugee movements, political pressures and of course this dramatic economic crisis – has raised probably by 150 or 200 million the number of people living in extreme hunger in the world and it has made the challenge of climate justice all the more urgent and manifest (…) We can’t let time run out.
What the new global campaign is calling for is of intense and profound interest for the whole world. I want to join the Global Humanitarian Forum’s call for action – recognition of time running out, call for an urgent response by all sectors in the world, the political leadership, the business leadership, civil society – so that we meet in Copenhagen and we take decisive steps forward that the world needs for its economic recovery, for meeting the needs of impoverished and hungry people and for creating a sustainable and prosperous planet."
