There are some established, openaccess agricultural research networks with extensive research data in the United States, but there is a major need to improve connections between those networks and the emerging data in order to address complex questions. Improving the connections and flow of information among agricultural research networks will enhance the scientific community's ability to simultaneously increase crop yield, sustainability of natural resources, and environmental quality, as well as food, feed, and forage quality, and thus human and animal health. Establishing a network of agricultural databases is crucial for facilitating information flow among different research disciplines. Doing so will also enhance multidisciplinary research opportunities and help build transdisciplinary teams that can provide answers to complex, whole-system research questions and thus solve some of the globe's greatest challenges. GLOBAL CHALLENGES The ever-growing human population is facing one of the greatest challenges of the twenty-first century: to ensure the sustainability of agricultural and natural systems. Both are under the pressure of a changing climate and the increase in extreme events that accompanies it. A statement by the United Nations (UN) Secretary General about a special climate change report recently released by the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, warns the global community that climate change is occurring at a faster rate than humanity is addressing it and that environmental consequences, including more extreme weather and sea level rise, will continue impacting humanity in the years to come (United Nations 2018).

Alternativas de reúso devem ser estudadas, em prol da manutenção da vida e da dignidade humana. Com base neste entendimento, foi proposto um sistema simples para o reúso da água condensada de aparelhos de ar-condicionado, reaproveitando-a de forma mais nobre para uso em laboratórios de química, trazendo benefícios à casa comum, o mundo.
Sustainable water use is increasingly discussed in the academic world. Alternatives to the reuse of water must be considered in order to conserve human life and dignity. Based on this reasoning, a simple system was proposed to reuse the water from air conditioners, utilizing it in chemistry laboratories, benefiting our house, the world.
