As climate change accelerates and traditional crops face mounting pressures from drought, extreme weather, and soil depletion, innovative solutions are emerging from unexpected sources. Explore the soil-restoring potential of the pongamia tree with Marc Diaz, Chief Commercialization Officer at Terviva, an agtech company that has spent over a decade unlocking this hardy species' dual capabilities as a nutritious food source and sustainable fuel feedstock. Through their Ponova platform, Terviva is demonstrating how pongamia can restore degraded agricultural land while building equitable supply chains that empower smallholder farmers, particularly women in India, with above-market wages and technical support. The tree's versatility extends beyond environmental benefits. Pongamia beans are rich in both protein and oil, positioning them as valuable ingredients for food applications while simultaneously serving as feedstock for biodiesel and sustainable aviation fuel.Marc explains how pongamia's nitrogen-fixing properties improve soil health over time, making it ideal for regenerative agriculture practices, while its protein- and oil-rich beans serve as valuable ingredients for both food applications and biofuel production. With recent partnerships involving Chevron Renewable Energy Group and Japan's Idemitsu scaling pongamia cultivation for sustainable aviation fuel, and expansion into citrus-depleted regions of Florida and California, this versatile tree exemplifies the kind of adaptive, multi-purpose approach needed for climate-resilient agriculture. He also shares insights into what farmers need most when transitioning to climate-resilient crops: technical support, financial backing, and education about new cultivation methods. By addressing these needs while placing equity at the center of their business model, Terviva is proving that commercial success doesn't require compromising social impact.Tune in to discover how one species is helping reimagine food and fuel systems for a changing world, and learn more at terviva.com and ponovafoods.com.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for May 5, 2024 is: proliferate • pruh-LIF-uh-rayt • verb To proliferate is to increase quickly in number or amount. // Problems have proliferated in recent months; every day seems to present a new challenge that needs sorting out. See the entry > Examples: “Patches of scrub continue to emerge and then fall away as the canopy of young self-sown trees begins to shade them out. The beavers have created hectares of new open water and channel complexes. Deadwood is ubiquitous. Topsoil continues to grow, and fungi proliferate.” — Isabella Tree, The Book of Wilding: A Practical Guide to Rewilding, Big and Small, 2023 Did you know? Proliferate is a back-formation of proliferation. That means that proliferation came first (we borrowed it from French in the 1700s), and was later shortened to form the verb. Proliferation originally referred to the botanical phenomenon of some plants having buds, flowers, or other parts that are adventitious—that is, that arise or occur sporadically or in other than the usual location (e.g. pitch pines' ability to sprout new trees directly from their stumps after a fire). With advances in the study of biology in the 1800s, proliferation came to be used to refer to the rapid and repeated production of cells by division. That sense in turn begat the verb proliferate, which eventually came to be used when anything—whether living (such as yeast) or nonliving (such as data)—quickly increases or multiplies.
