TORONTO, ON / ACCESSWIRE / October 27, 2021 / ITOCO INC. (OTC PINK:ITMC) is pleased to release information about the Nopal Cactus' ability to act as a key component to land reclamation in addition to its significant carbon reducing properties.
Desertification or land degradation is occurring worldwide and directly affects millions of people, especially the poor. Nopal Cactus is already widely cultivated in arid regions worldwide as a standalone crop because of its ability to grow and thrive in hard and dry conditions.
Importantly, their root characteristics allow them to prevent or avoid wind and rain erosion. When the Nopal Cactus is present, other plants and trees can take hold in poor growing environments more easily.
ITOCO's Nopal Cactus Carbon Credit program is designed to achieve significant land rehabilitation and reclamation by planting in association with less robust trees and crops. In Mexico, the Nopal Cactus has demonstrated an ability to turn dry desert into savannah like conditions relatively quickly and economically by leveraging it's unique properties.
Therefore, establishment of production systems based on cactus can bring food self-sufficiency in desert and arid areas, and well as reclaiming ‘wasted' land.
The Nopal Cactus is one of the best plants for the reforestation of arid areas as they strongly resist scarce rain and high temperature. Moreover, the Nopal Cactus itself provides food via its leaves and fruit; and can be used as a biofuel, fertilizer, and can be easily processed into an excellent substitute for leather. Cultivation of the Cactus is relatively simple, and the plant grows quickly.
Our ITOCO Nopal Cactus Carbon Capture Program in Mexico has demonstrated Nopal Cactus farming innovations that leverages Nopal Cactus' superb adaptations to dry and arid landscape areas that including fixing carbon dioxide at night and closing the spores (stomata) during the day, thus earning producers carbon credits at an accelerated pace in under twelve months.
ITOCO will be presenting its Nopal Carbon Capture program as an addition to the Great Green Wall project now being implemented in more than 20 countries across Africa. To date, more than eight billion dollars have been mobilized and pledged for its support internationally.
When complete, the Wall will be the largest living structure on the planet - an 8,000 km natural wonder of the world stretching across the entire width of the continent.
We believe that introducing a Nopal Cactus component to the Great Green Wall project would significantly improve the speed and efficacy of the land rehabilitation by allowing other plants to take hold more easily.
The ITOCO Nopal Cactus Program has already been proven with over 1,450 Hectares under management with the support of the Government of Mexico, which has endorsed the Paris Agreement adopted at the twenty-first session of the Conference of the Parties ("COP") to the United Nation Framework Convention on Climate Change ("UNDCC") and is taking action to mitigate its Green House Gas ("GHG') emissions in accordance with the Land Use Protocol of the United Nations (LULUCF), by 2030.

Innodata Releases the First Stage of Its AI Cyber Training Suite to Enable AI Coding Agents to Write - and Repair - Secure Code4.8.2026 14:30:00 CEST | Press release
Twelve datasets and evaluation systems, built by hand from thousands of real-world security flaws, give model builders and enterprises a proven way to keep AI-generated code from introducing vulnerabilities. NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / August 4, 2026 / INNODATA INC. (Nasdaq:INOD) today released the first stage of its AI Cyber Training Suite - twelve datasets and evaluation systems that train AI coding agents to write code that avoids known security flaws, to avoid introducing new ones, and to patch existing vulnerabilities in the software companies already run. The suite addresses what has become a central barrier to trusting AI-written code: the risk that an agent, while adding a feature or modernizing a legacy system, quietly opens a security hole. The AI Cyber Training Suite works across the stack of coding agents - the models, the harnesses, and the tools - to help ensure the code they produce is not just functional, but secure. It is available to model builders and enterprise
Ore Energy Raises $43 Million to Unlock Renewable Baseload Power for the AI Era4.8.2026 09:00:00 CEST | Press release
Ore Energy is building a fully European-manufactured battery to solve one of the biggest bottlenecks in the energy transition: multi-day storage Europe already wastes an estimated 72 TWh of renewable energy due to grid bottlenecks, equivalent to Austria's annual electricity demand, with losses projected to rise to as much as 410 TWh annually by 2040, according to the European Commission's Joint Research Centre Its iron-air batteries store power for 100 hours at 10x lower cost per unit of energy capacity than lithium-ion, without the need for critical raw minerals like lithium or cobalt AMSTERDAM, NL AND DELFT, NL / ACCESS Newswire / August 4, 2026 / As demand for electricity from AI, manufacturing, and the energy transition accelerates worldwide, Ore Energy has raised $43 million in Series A funding from Plural and HV to scale its iron-air battery technology.

Review of 31 Studies Finds Vegan Dog Food and Vegan Cat Food Are Well Digested30.7.2026 21:00:00 CEST | Press release
LONDON, UK / ACCESS Newswire / July 30, 2026 / A new scientific review has found that nutritionally sound vegan dog food, vegan cat food and vegetarian pet diets are generally well digested and broadly comparable to conventional meat-based diets. The review, published in the journal Animals, examined 31 existing studies assessing the digestibility of vegan, vegetarian and plant-based pet diets and ingredients in dogs and cats. Twenty-two studies focused on dogs, two on cats and seven included both species. The review found that across a wide range of study designs, dietary ingredients and digestibility measures, vegan and vegetarian diets consistently showed high digestibility and were not normally significantly less digestible than conventional meat-based diets. Digestibility is an important factor because it indicates how effectively animals can absorb and utilise nutrients from food. While modern commercial plant-based pet foods are generally formulated to provide all essential nutr
