This document outlines a two-day agenda to help manufacturers improve sustainability practices and reduce costs through efficiency gains. Day 1 focuses on mapping current manufacturing processes to identify waste and potential energy savings opportunities. Participants will collect data on the factory floor. Day 2 involves analyzing the data to identify specific lean and clean methods to reduce waste, along with reporting findings to management to facilitate implementation of changes. The goal is to help manufacturers lower costs through increased process efficiencies while gaining a competitive advantage with state-of-the-art sustainable operations.

Het einde van honger wereldwijd is in zicht.
The Hunger Project ziet geen miljoenen monden om te voeden, maar miljoenen ondernemende en veerkrachtige mensen. Als wij samen investeren in deze mensen, dan kunnen zij op eigen kracht een betere toekomst tegemoet.
Hierbij een korte presentatie van de strategie van The Hunger Project.
We zijn er bijna, maar nog niet helemaal. Samen kunnen we een einde maken aan honger!

In this session the new WOCAT Network was launched. The new set-up and latest advancements, innovations and challenges were presented and WOCAT national network members talked about their involvement and perspectives in a panel. The Consortium Partners of WOCAT International were introduced and the launch was rounded up with an informal get-together.
WOCAT was involved in the panel of a side event of the Soil Leadership Academy (SLA) at the UNCCD 3rd Scientific Conference in Cancún, Mexico (9-12 March 2015).

Sustainable management of the natural resource base is one of a very few, truly fundamental issues that the international community will be obliged to address effectively over the next two decades. The last twenty years have seen an emphasis on global and national economic management; the next twenty will need to address environmental management effectively.
This needs to follow a globally structured approach, based on adequate, reliable, up-to-date data and knowledge, and governed by appropriate international strategies and agreements. One key product sorely lacking to reach this goal is an overview of where land degradation takes place at what intensity and how land users are addressing this problem through sustainable land management. In order to fill this knowledge gap, three projects (WOCAT, LADA, DESIRE) have come together to establish the current status, while mapping out a route forward.
WOCAT (World Overview of Conservation Approaches and Technologies) is an established global network of Soil and Water Conservation (SWC) specialists, dedicated to sustainable land management (SLM).
The overall goal of the WOCAT Network is to unite the efforts in knowledge management and decision support for up-scaling SLM among all stakeholders including national governmental and non-governmental institutions and international and regional organizations and programmes. The network provides tools that allow SLM specialists to identify fields and needs of action, share their valuable knowledge in land management, that assist them in their search for appropriate SLM technologies and approaches, and that support them in making decisions in the field and at the planning level and in up-scaling identified best practices.
