Good news rarely makes the headlines... except in Ode. To celebrate 2010-and anticipate more good news to come in 2011-we'd like to share with you Ode's 10 most positive stories from the year that was.

On our list are stories about how co-ops are merging economic growth with social goals, how biochar-charcoal derived from burning plants-can boost crop yields and help fight climate change, how three friends rescued hundreds of Uganda's child soldiers and why urban agriculture is changing our relationship with food - for good.

Ode is a print and online publication about positive change-about the innovations and ideas that are changing the world for the better. While most media focus on what's going wrong, Ode looks at what's going right by telling the stories of people who are making a positive difference in their communities, their countries, their worlds. To this end, Ode focuses on stories about sustainable business and innovation, alternative energy, green finance and economics, leadership and management, and health, healing, and spirituality.
