Instead of neat rows of monoculture, forest gardens combine fruit and nut trees, shrubs, herbs, vines and perennial vegetables together in one seemingly wild setting. This type of agroforestry mimics natural ecosystems and uses the space available in a sustainable way. UK-based Martin Crawford is one of the pioneers of forest gardening. Starting out with a flat field in 1994, his land has been transformed into a woodland and serves as an educational resource for others interested in forest gardening. This short film by Thomas Regnault focuses on Crawford's forest garden, which is abundant, diverse, edible, and might be one answer to the future of food systems.

In Haiti, the machete is both a weapon and a farmer’s key to survival. This dichotomy is especially true for Alfred Avril, a master machete fencer and subsistence farmer. The traditional art of machete fencing can be traced back to the Haitian Revolution. With fewer guns than the soldiers they were battling, many slaves fought with the machetes they had used to toil the sugarcane fields. In this short film from Third Horizon, Avril shares his mysterious craft as well as the practical and spiritual value of the machete throughout Haitian history.

Also known as the ‘Uranium Capital of Africa’, Niger is the world’s fourth-largest producer of uranium ore, it provides 7.5 percent of the world's mining output, from Africa's highest-grade uranium ores, according to the World Nuclear Association. But as the usual narrative goes, uranium represents around 80 percent of the country’s exports but contributes only 5 percent to the national GDP.
Uranium is arguably the most strategic commodity for France and since its discovery in Niger a major chunk of the ore has been exclusively exported to France for over 50 years by Areva, the massive state-owned nuclear power company of France.
While Niger’s uranium lights the Eiffel Tower including one-third of households in France, add to that propping up France's nuclear superpower status, the people of Arlit and Akonan, popularly known as the twin mining towns in Niger – the real owners of this valuable wealth - are living in squalor.
When France began mining uranium ore in the deserts of northern Niger in the early 1970s they promised to build a ‘Little Paris’, in the country. However, the mining towns remain dusty and neglected, scoured by desert sandstorms and barely touched by the mineral wealth it ships off to Europe each year.

Researchers have offered a chemical explanation for sex change in a tropical fish. ↓↓More info and references below↓↓
For a tropical fish called the bluehead wrasse, sex isn’t always permanent. When a group of the fish loses its dominant male, the biggest female rapidly changes sex, taking on distinctive male coloring and producing mature sperm in as little as 8 days. Although this change is well documented, the molecular mechanisms that drive it have remained unclear. Now, an international group of researchers has offered a chemical explanation for the transformation after analyzing tissue samples from transitioning fish.
