An Israeli innovation for raising seafood anywhere -- including the desert - could be the answer to the world's growing problem of over fishing and water shortages. "Our technology is totally independent of the sea," says Dr. Yossi Tal of Israel's Grow Fish Anywhere, a company that invented a way to raise fish commercially under any kind of conditions. "We are establishing our own unique ecology in our system to sustain the fish, without discharging any pollution." GFA's solution could signal a breakthrough as the world's fishing industry faces the effects of over fishing, as well as chronic water shortages.

Many fields in Tajikistan have been neglected for generations because it seemed that they were not fertile. But now, thanks to help from the Tajikistani Government and the World Bank, projects are underway to provide these lands with irrigation techniques which will then make the land arable. Part of the problem is that so many children help their parents in the fields and are therefore unable to attend school. Hopefully, with these new water techniques, children can go to school as their help on the fields will no longer be crucial to the family’s survival.
