Het Kiemcollectief is an initiative by Wenxin Lin and Laura van Bellen to tackle monoculture and the use of pesticides in Dutch agriculture. Their solution is to create a farmer cooperative to reintegrate the practice of farmers producing their own seeds, thereby becoming less reliant on firms - who often also sell pesticides - and decreasing monoculture by diversifying seed-supply.

To accomplish this, Het Kiemcollectief facilitates the exchange of seeds between farmers. Using native, reproducible crops, farmers will use a small part of their land for the production of new seeds; the rest of the crops can be harvested for consumption. Het Kiemcollectief will take care of harvesting, processing and distribution of the seeds.

Team HydroAs consists of David Agoungbome, Steaven Chede, Audrey Kakpohoue, Claude Lewis Mbua, and Foutse Yuehgoh. HydroAs strives for a more resilient ecosystem where humans are aware of the impact of their activities in the ecosystem and warned in case of extreme climate disasters such as flooding.

Their plan is to implement low-cost, solar-powered sensors to monitor bodies of water in Cameroon and Benin. By connecting these sensors to a smart software system, they aim to create an Early Warning System that will alert citizens, farmers, and local governments in the event of droughts and floods. With data insights, this system can help inform decisions to reduce the negative effects of these events on people and nature in the future.

Antonia van Vlastuin was inspired while doing fieldwork in the Colombian Amazon for her master's research. There she met the Tikuna people of the Amazon rainforest, who have developed a unique way of life that incorporates their cosmology, which recognizes the interconnectedness of all living things and the importance of respecting and maintaining balance in the natural world.

However these systems are facing a crisis due to a rapid decrease in varieties and species and the associated loss of traditional knowledge as the people are moving towards the cities for alternative labour opportunities. By supporting the regenerative use of the traditional agroforestry systems developed by indigenous populations in the Amazon region, it is possible to enhance the commercial and ecological value of these systems and promote behavioural change that leads to harmonious living with nature while generating income.
