World Solve

Develop mapping, treatment, and enforcement strategies where homes, workshops, tanneries, and small factories discharge into the same unmanaged drainage networks.

Design repair financing, local spare-parts networks, remote diagnostics, and accountability models that keep water points functional after initial projects end.

Create low-cost monitoring, recharge, storage, and governance systems for coastal aquifers threatened by sea-level rise and excessive groundwater extraction.

Map and mitigate heavy metals, flame retardants, acids, and other pollutants leaching from informal electronics-processing sites into drinking-water aquifers.

Develop credible worker-centered systems that identify recruitment abuse, debt bondage, and wage theft in supply chains that currently rely on superficial audits.

Create legal, technical, and cooperative mechanisms that protect farmers' ability to save, exchange, and improve seeds while maintaining quality and disease safety.

Identify affordable feed, breeding, veterinary, and manure-management interventions that lower methane without reducing farmer income or animal health.

Develop scalable methods to harvest, process, and use invasive water plants without spreading them further or introducing toxins into feed, compost, or consumer goods.

Map and govern seasonal livestock routes so roads, farms, conservation zones, and private enclosures do not trigger conflict or livestock losses.

Develop surveillance and quarantine systems that work across informal nurseries, border markets, and online plant commerce where official controls are weak.

Design cooperative, rental, robotic, or service-based machinery systems suitable for farms too small to justify individual equipment ownership.

Create practical monitoring, veterinary access, and disease-prevention systems that reduce indiscriminate antimicrobial use in fish and shrimp farming.

Build local value chains for millet, sorghum, cassava, bambara groundnut, and other resilient crops that remain economically disadvantaged against imported staples.

Develop restoration models that reduce emissions and fire risk while providing viable incomes for communities dependent on drained peatland agriculture.

Create cheap, reliable detection and mitigation systems for aflatoxin contamination in maize, groundnuts, and other staples before they enter diets and markets.

Develop economically viable integrated pest-management alternatives for small growers who rely on highly toxic chemicals because safer options are inaccessible or ineffective.

Create traceability systems that can document catch location, species, labor conditions, and gear use for artisanal fishers without requiring expensive onboard technology.

Design affordable storage, logistics, grading, and processing systems that prevent fruit spoilage between small farms and markets without imposing high capital costs.

Develop low-cost ways to map and manage rising soil salinity before farms become economically unviable due to over-irrigation, seawater intrusion, or poor drainage.

Create screening and referral models that use portable imaging, AI validation, and dependable follow-up for people with diabetes outside urban eye-care systems.
