To understand where to move next, sometimes it is worth looking back.
The team of the NGO “Foundation for Sustainable Change” has a number of initiatives behind it that have become important stages of our development even before the organization received its current name. These projects have become growth points that continue to inspire us to new solutions.

In 2021, the NGO team participated in a project on satellite monitoring of natural landfills in Ukrainian communities (https://inform.ikd.kiev.ua/2021/11/ldms_project/). This was a response to a real challenge — to combine digital technologies, local interaction and environmental action.

Among the main directions of the project:

• analysis of satellite images to detect illegal landfills;
• identification of environmentally problematic locations;
• cooperation with local authorities and activists to respond.

This experience was a revelation for us: technology is not a distant future, but a real tool for supporting communities today. It was then that we first saw how data can help make important environmental decisions.

Today we are opening a new direction – the development of a digital educational platform for students of agricultural universities.
Our goal is to create a space where young people can:

• model sustainable agricultural practices;
• work with open environmental data;
• research climate change;
• create their own innovative solutions at the intersection of agriculture, technology and ecology.

We believe that the path to a sustainable future begins with understanding. And modern environmental education is the key to this future.

We thank everyone who has been part of our journey and invite partners, mentors, teachers, students and everyone who shares our value of sustainable development to join us.
