Questions related to Agriculture
How can you increase soil organic matter and what is the ideal percentage of organic matter present in different types of soils for best results of agriculture production?
Is regenerative agriculture sustainable and environment-friendly and regenerative agriculture mitigate climate change?
Which types of plant agricultural crops will decline production most rapidly in the future as a result of the increasingly rapid process of global warming?
Which types, varieties, species of vegetables, fruits and other vegetable agricultural crops will decline most rapidly in production globally over the next future decades of time as a result of the increasingly rapid process of global warming?
For example, by 2050, about 50 percent of arabica coffee plantations will disappear globally due to progressive global warming.
Ghana and Côte d'Ivoire are major producers of cocoa beans. In early 2024, these regions were hit first by heavy rains and then by droughts.
Cocoa prices on commodity exchanges quickly went up. These are further examples of the already realizing large-scale impact of climate change on crop production, more specifically, generating large drops in the level of said production.
The scale of weather anomalies and climatic cataclysms derived from climate change processes is increasing every year. April 2024 was the warmest April in Poland in the history of measurements. Some places in Poland saw temperatures of almost plus 30 degrees C. The spring and near-summer temperatures in April were followed by frosts that wiped out flowers on flowering fruit trees. Many fruit growers lost most or even almost all or all of their projected crop of apples, cherries or other fruits. Interviews with fruit growers show that for at least 2 generations of farmers, fruit growers had not previously experienced such severe weather anomalies
I have described the key issues concerning the problems of the ongoing process of global warming, the negative effects of this process and, therefore, the need to increase the scale and accelerate the implementation of the green transformation of the economy in the following article:
IMPLEMENTATION OF THE PRINCIPLES OF SUSTAINABLE ECONOMY DEVELOPMENT AS A KEY ELEMENT OF THE PRO-ECOLOGICAL TRANSFORMATION OF THE ECONOMY TOWARDS GREEN ECONOMY AND CIRCULAR ECONOMY
In view of the above, I address the following question to the esteemed community of scientists and researchers:
Which types, varieties, species of vegetables, fruits and other vegetable crops will be the fastest declining in production on a global scale in the perspective of the next future decades of time as a result of the accelerating process of global warming?
Which types of plant agricultural crops will be the fastest declining in production in the future as a result of the increasingly rapid process of global warming?

How to maintain agriculture in the situation of the progressive process of global warming and the resulting water resources that are rapidly decreasing from year to year?
How to maintain agriculture, a high level of agricultural productivity in a situation of rapidly declining rainfall from year to year, intensifying summer heat, the progressive process of soil aridity, declining supplies of surface water, subsoil water and in some areas even deep water levels, increasingly frequent phenomena of weather anomalies and climatic disasters and other negative effects of the progressive process of global warming?
One of the consequences of the progressive process of global warming is the rapidly declining surface and sub-surface water resources in increasingly large land areas, including areas used for agriculture. From the results of thousands of scientific papers, it is known that the global warming process, which has been progressing more and more rapidly over the past more than 2 centuries, is the result of the accumulation of excess greenhouse gases in the planet's atmosphere, including CO2, methane and others in the period since the beginning of the first industrial revolution. Therefore, on the one hand, in order to slow down the progressive process of global warming, a green transformation of the economy is being carried out with a special focus on those sectors of the economy that generate the most greenhouse gas emissions. This kind of sector is also carried out in a formula of climate and environmentally unsustainable and industrial livestock farming, mainly cows. However, the processes of green transformation of the economy, including the green transformation of energy, transportation, construction and also agriculture, including the development of sustainable agriculture of organic crop farming is progressing too slowly, greenhouse gas emissions are still high, the process of global warming continues to progress rapidly, the planet's greenhouse effect is worsening, the scale of weather anomalies and climatic disasters and the negative effects of climate change such as droughts, heat, water shortages are steadily increasing. Therefore, in parallel with the processes of green transformation of the economy, it is necessary to create systems for protecting the biosphere, counteracting the negative effects of climate change, safeguarding the achievements of human civilization from the escalation of the negative effects of the progressive process of global warming in the future, using new technologies at the same time to organize solutions to reduce the scale of the negative impact of climate change processes on the man-made economy, and thus safeguarding future generations of people from the development of negative scenarios of future deepening of the said negative processes of climate change. Such protective measures, safeguarding the economy and limiting the scale of the negative effects of the progressive process of global warming should also include farms. Within the framework of such protective measures, it is necessary to create technological solutions that increase the scale of saving water used in agriculture, develop systems and installations for catching rainwater and collecting it in specially created retention tanks, etc. In addition, as part of the development of sustainable organic agriculture, it is also necessary to improve waste separation and recycling systems, improve composting techniques, build small-scale power plants that generate energy for the farm from renewable energy sources (solar, wind, geothermal, biogas plants), return to old farming techniques, e.g., rotating and fallowing in order to increase the amount of water used in agriculture. rotation and fallowing to slow the process of soil aridity, replacement of pesticides and other chemical pesticides and fertilizers with their organic counterparts, increasing the scale of agricultural biodiversity instead of production monocultures of crops of a single variety of agricultural crops, creation of crop varieties more resistant to biotic and abiotic environmental factors, including more resistant to the worsening negative effects of climate change, etc. The implementation of this plan is expected to help
The implementation of the plan for the green transformation of the economy, including agriculture, is to be helped by a European Union program referred to as the EU's New Green Deal. Farmers are well aware of all this. However, on the other hand, in the online social media, organized criminal groups acting on behalf of certain political and business circles are carrying out disinformation and paraheterist actions vilifying the European Union and the EU's New Green Deal. Such organized disinformation and paraheterist activities have recently intensified in connection with the European Parliament elections.
I have described the key issues concerning the problems of the green transformation of the economy in the following article:

Compare the cost dynamics of organic production systems with conventional farming methods, considering inputs, labor, and overall operational expenses, and discuss the economic feasibility of organic agriculture.
I would like to open a discussion on my latest paper Ten reasons why Central Asia had to be the original homeland of Indo-Europeans, Gauls and Balkan peoples 04-24, which you can find on RG at :
Central Asia seems to me better suited than the Pontic steppe as the original homeland of the Eurasian original language, aswell as Indo-European language, taking into account linguistics, ancient scripts, genetics, archaeology, history, religion, thespread of agriculture, the PIE vocabulary relative to the horse, the wheel and the chariot, the development of long-distancetrade along the future Silk Road. The richness of mountain and river vocabulary also supports a PIE original homeland locatedin mountains with rivers rather than in the steppes. The Pontic steppe would be only a secondary homeland of IE languages. I welcome comments from researchers.
The data derived from the World Bank shows that the summation of the value added of different economic sectors (agriculture, industry, manufacturing, and services) is not equal to GDP! Why?
A similar question is that the summation of the proportion of the economic sectors to GDP (%) is not equal to 100. Why?
This is true about all countries.
Is agriculture prepared for the effects of climate change, including, in particular, the negative effects on agricultural crops of the ongoing process of global warming, the scale of which will increase in the future?
Since the beginning of the first industrial revolution, anthropogenic emissions of greenhouse gases resulting from human activities have been increasing. During this period, the average level of atmospheric temperature has also been rising as a result of the greenhouse effect generated by the accumulation of CO2 and other greenhouse gases in the planet's atmosphere, including primarily methane, a particularly greenhouse gas. The said greenhouse effect is the source of climate change, the main element of which is the accelerating process of global warming. The accelerating process of global warming is causing many adverse effects on human existence and on the planet's biosphere. The negative effects of the accelerating process of global warming include increasingly severe droughts occurring more frequently and covering larger and larger land areas, shortages of drinking water appearing in more and more new areas in many parts of the various continents, violent storms with heavy downpours becoming more frequent in some places, soil barrenness, increasingly higher temperatures and heat in the summer, a decline in the biodiversity of natural ecosystems, and so on. The impact of these processes varies considerably across the world's land regions. For example, according to the World Meteorological Organization and the Copernicus program, i.e. the European Union's Earth observation program, Europe is the fastest warming continent. Since the beginning of the industrial age, the average temperature of the planet has risen by about 2.5 degrees C. Globally, the increase has been about 1 deg C lower. Also, the impact of the ongoing global warming process, i.e. the negative impact on individual industries and sectors of the economy, is and will also vary considerably. Agriculture, for example, is one of those sectors of the economy that will be particularly extremely negatively affected by the global warming process. Accordingly, in some countries, the agriculture carried out in the formula of traditional, intensive, production-intensive, unsustainable agriculture is already being converted to sustainable organic agriculture, which not only produces healthy and mainly or exclusively vegetable crops without the use of pesticides, herbicides and other chemical pesticides and fertilizers, and also applies the goals of sustainable development, the principles of the circular economy and generates energy from renewable and emission-free energy sources. In addition to the conversion of intensive-production formula agriculture to sustainable, emission-free organic farming, in some countries farms are already being prepared and hedged for the future scenario of deepening global warming in the coming years. In order to ensure that the level of crop yields does not drop significantly in the coming years, it is becoming necessary to build rainwater catchment facilities, building ponds and other retention tanks to collect rainwater. To this end, financial subsidies are offered to farmers from the state's public finance system for building such rainwater catching and collecting installations. In a situation where the green transformation of the economy is proceeding far too slowly relative to the needs, i.e. so as to quickly reduce the level of greenhouse gas emissions and slow down the process of global warming, the potential negative scenario of failure to carry out the plan to stop the increase in the average temperature level of the planet's atmosphere at up to 1.5 degrees C (since the beginning of the first industrial revolution) should be considered highly probable. However, if possible, it is necessary to carry out the green transformation of the economy as quickly and efficiently as possible, so that the exceedance of the 1.5 deg C level is as low as possible and thus the escalation of the negative effects of the progressive global warming process is as low as possible. Since agriculture is one of those sectors that are most vulnerable to the negative effects of the progressive process of global warming, then in addition to the green transformation of agriculture that is being carried out, it is necessary to protect farms from the negative effects of climate change, which are steadily increasing from year to year, including increasingly frequent periods of drought, summer heat, weather anomalies, severe storms, etc., in a multifaceted way. In addition to this, it is also necessary to create new crop varieties that will be more resistant to the mentioned negative effects of climate change.

What are the adaptation strategies for climate change in agriculture and what are the factors affecting climate change in agriculture?
In the current year, what are the effects of the progressive process of global warming in your region, in your country, in your environment, in terms of local microclimate, etc.?
In the current year, what are the effects of climate change, the accelerating process of global warming in your environment, in your region, where you operate, in your country, in the surrounding natural environment, in nearby agricultural areas, in the city or countryside where you live, in terms of local microclimate, etc.?
For example, in the country where I operate during the winter season, during a period where for many previous decades of time there was usually snow and temperatures were minus temperatures reaching as high as 20-30 degrees Frost is during the current "winter" in February 2024 there are positive temperatures all over the country, even positive double digits. Hoteliers, owners of ski slopes in the Tatra mountains are reporting much lower interest in their services. Fruit growers fear the return of morning frosts, which would cause the buds of flowers, which appear exceptionally early on shrubs and fruit trees, to freeze. Beekeepers fear for their bees, which have begun to leave their hives unusually early. But these are not the only effects of weather anomalies, climate disasters, climate change, the process of global warming, which has been occurring with increasing frequency in recent years. The negative effects of the increasingly rapid process of global warming on the environment, on agriculture, on the economy as a whole, on human existence in cities and in the countryside are constantly increasing, and the scale of the negative impact of climate change is constantly growing. In the country in which I operate in the summer season in recent years there have been record high temperatures, increasingly persistent heat, longer and longer periods of drought, little rainfall and increasingly frequent forest fires. In some regions of the country, water supplies are already beginning to run out during periods when citizens are watering their gardens and flowerbeds, washing cars, filling swimming pools, etc. At that time, local authorities are recommending restrictions on the use of tap water and imposing periodic bans on the use of clean water from the municipal water supply for watering lawns, washing cars and filling swimming pools. On the other hand, financial incentives, i.e. subsidies for the creation of water reservoirs for rainwater collection, rainwater catchment systems and irrigation of gardens, lawns, green areas, etc. with the help of rainwater thus collected, are being introduced as part of the increase in the scale of economical water consumption. The scale of the negative effects of the ongoing process of global warming is increasing every year. In many regions of the world, due to the accelerating process of global warming, the productivity of agricultural crops in agriculture is declining, the number of pollinating insects is declining, green areas in cities are drying up, living conditions in urban areas are deteriorating, the demand for electricity is increasing, which is caused, among other things, by the increase in the scale of use of cooling equipment during summer heat waves, the level of biodiversity in areas of natural natural ecosystems is decreasing, etc. Therefore, it is necessary to accelerate the processes of green transformation of the economy, including green transformation of such economic sectors as energy, agriculture, transportation, construction, heavy industry, etc.
I am conducting research on this issue. I study in a multifaceted and interdisciplinary way the issue of factors, determinants of climate change, the increasingly rapid process of global warming, and the effects of these processes on the environment, on civilization, agriculture, the economy, etc. On the other hand, I analyze the possibilities of smoothly carrying out a pro-environmental and pro-climate transformation of the classic growth, brown, linear economy of excess into a sustainable, green, zero-carbon zero-growth and closed-cycle economy. By building a green, sustainable closed loop economy, it will be possible to slow down the still accelerating global warming process and reduce the negative effects of these climate change processes. Will it be possible to reverse these processes? Unfortunately, this is unlikely with the green transformation of the economy progressing as slowly as it is now, and the still low level of awareness of many citizens on this topic, ignoring the high level of relevance of this issue in the business and political world. I have included the conclusions of my research in the following article:

I want to know what is the new problems at agriculture in Egypt
The importance of agriculture for the Egyptian economy is still high today; almost 11 percent of the GDP is generated from the agricultural sector. Egypt's real GDP growth is expected to recover, reaching 4.7 percent, in the upcoming fiscal year (FY) 2024/2025, backed by the financing and policy package set by the International Monetary Fund (IMF), Agriculture is a major component of the Egyptian economy, contributing 11.3 percent of the country's gross domestic product. The population of Egypt stood at 113.6 million in January 2024. However, Egypt is the world's principal producer of long-staple cotton (1.125 inches [2.85 cm] and longer), normally supplying about one-third of the world crop; total Egyptian cotton production, however, constitutes just a tiny fraction of the global yield.
The Egyptian agriculture sector had been plagued by numerous problems and obstacles
1. Degradation of arable land in the Nile Valley and Delta,
2. Population growth,
3. Declining productivity, and
4. Farmers abandoning agriculture due to its perceived lack of profitability.
5. Factors such as soil erosion, improper irrigation techniques,
6. Overuse of chemical fertilizers, and urban expansion contribute to the degradation of arable land.

The ever-increasing price of food products purchased by consumers in stores is another argument for buying products directly from a farmer producing real healthy, non-chemical-soaked crops produced according to the formula of sustainable organic farming, bypassing middlemen, commodity logistics centers, processing plants, stores and shopping malls, which sell crops or processed food products many times more expensive compared to the farmer's prices, and/or to set up a fruit and vegetable garden for your own needs and become independent of expensive middlemen and unnecessary costs. With such a solution, the farmer would earn more and the consumer would buy healthy crops much cheaper. Well, but the political pressure for these simple solutions to many problems is not there. Why? Because then the revenue from indirect taxes to the state budget, from VAT would be able to fall significantly, and after all, VAT is still the main source of revenue to the state budget in Poland. Well, such is the tax system we have. And could it be different? It could, but unfortunately it's easier to tax citizens and entities with lower and lowest incomes than those with higher incomes, who often also set up fictitious headquarters in tax havens in order to additionally pay even less taxes into the state's public finance system. Besides, this kind of solution would be good for the climate and the environment for many reasons. Maintaining home vegetable, fruit and flower gardens would save money for citizens, reduce environmental pollution from exhaust fumes emitted by cars transporting agricultural crops from the field to logistics centers, agri-food processing companies and then processed food products delivered to stores, shopping centers in cities, food discounters and hypermarkets. In addition, citizens who run vegetable and fruit gardens to obtain their own vegetable crops, their own vegetables and fruits usually do not use chemical pesticides, so the resulting food is realistically healthier than what is purchased in vegetable stores, discount stores and hypermarkets, where vegetables and fruits and the processed food products made from them go, which were grown in farm fields in a model of intensive, production-intensive, highly exploitative soil, climate and environment unsustainable agriculture formula. On the other hand, in the situation of running subsistence vegetable, fruit and flower gardens without the use of chemical pesticides, in which most or all of the farming and tending work is done by hand, with a high level of biodiversity, taking into account the coexistence in the garden of different species and varieties of crops, vegetables, fruits, flower meadows, shrubs and trees is this type of mini-agriculture, running the said gardens is close to the formula of pro-ecological, pro-climate, pro-environmental sustainable organic agriculture. Occurring in this kind of biodiverse gardens also flower meadows, flowering various species of grasses, perennials, meadow plants, as well as shrubs and trees is very friendly to pollinating insects, including bees, whose population has declined by several tens of percent over the past few decades of time. In addition, in such flower gardens, insect houses are increasingly being built and/or beehives are being erected to ensure the functioning of pollinating insects in the micro-biodiversity ecosystem thus created. On the other hand, in managing even small home vegetable and flower gardens, in their planning and organzation, the new information technology of advanced data processing, including generative artificial intelligence technology, can be of great help.

Does rice cultivation in Iran and all over the world cause the production of methane gas and destroy the ozone layer?
As you know, one of the most destructive gases that destroys the ozone layer is methane gas (CH4). About 60% of the total methane gas is related to human activity. The most methane gas emissions are from rice fields. Paddy fields are responsible for nearly a quarter of human resource methane gas production. Decomposing bacteria in the stagnant water of rice fields (especially in South and Southeast Asia and the Far East) are the main cause of methane gas production. Other activities that cause an increase in methane gas include animal husbandry, burning of straw and coal, burning and agricultural waste water. Since the number of livestock increases by 5% and the amount of agricultural land increases by 7%, the annual share of these resources is increasing every year. Because the rate of decomposition of methane gas by bacteria is slower than its production rate. Ruminant animals speed up the production of methane gas by digesting food and excreting it. They are in the atmosphere. And it causes the ozone layer to be destroyed sooner.
Henrik Rasmus Andersen added a reply
You are right about the emission of methane. However methane doesn’t destroy the ozone layer. Methane is a strong greenhouse gas, though.
Prem Baboo added a reply
Yes, growing rice produces methane, a greenhouse gas more than 30 times as potent as carbon dioxide. Methane is also a potent greenhouse gas, meaning it affects climate change by contributing to increased warming and The reaction of ozone with methane produces carbon dioxide and water vapor. Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) have been identified as the main cause of the destruction to the ozone layer, but there are also compounds containing bromine, other halogen compounds and also nitrogen oxides which cause damage.
Alain Robichaud added a reply
I agree with Henrik. Methane does not directly participate to ozone layer destruction. But methane is a strong greenhouse gas. However, indirectly it could contribute through climate change.
Climate change can influence the size of the ozone hole indirectly by affecting the temperature and dynamics of the stratosphere, where ozone depletion occurs. The cooling of the stratosphere due to increasing greenhouse gas concentrations can enhance certain chemical reactions that contribute to ozone depletion.
-Polar Vortex: The size of the ozone hole is strongly influenced by the polar vortex, a large-scale circulation pattern that forms in the stratosphere during the polar winter. Within the polar vortex, temperatures drop significantly, creating conditions that facilitate the chemical reactions responsible for ozone depletion. Climate change can affect the strength and stability of the polar vortex, which in turn can influence the size and duration of the ozone hole.
-Feedback Loops: Changes in atmospheric circulation patterns and temperature gradients due to climate change can lead to feedback loops that further enhance ozone depletion in polar regions. For example, changes in atmospheric circulation can affect the transport of ozone-depleting substances and ozone-depleted air masses, exacerbating ozone loss in the polar regions.
In summary, while climate change can indirectly influence the size of the ozone hole by affecting stratospheric temperatures and atmospheric circulation patterns, the primary cause of ozone depletion and the expansion of the ozone hole in polar regions is the release of ozone-depleting substances by human activities. These references could help you.

Intelligent chatbots available on the Internet are used, among other things, for the rapid development of plans, projects of various activities, ventures, etc. Since chatGPT and other similar intelligent chatbots were taught, trained using artificial neural networks as part of a deep learning process on large data sets downloaded from the Internet from selected database websites, libraries, indexing databases of scientific publications, articles and books, etc., so they take into account a large body of knowledge from various scientific disciplines. The aforementioned body of knowledge also covers various aspects of agriculture, including organic farming. In this regard, artificial intelligence technology combined with Big Data Analytics can help in the design, planning and development of a crop farm within the framework of the sustainable organic farming formula as an important component of the green transformation of the agricultural sector, the green transformation of the economy and the protection of the climate, biosphere and biodiversity of the planet's natural ecosystems. Planning for the green transformation of agriculture takes into account, first of all, increasing efficiency with a return to traditional agricultural techniques developed several centuries and more ago, i.e. agriculture without the use of pesticides, herbicides and other chemical pesticides; cultivated fields of small areas separated by green belts composed of flower meadows, shrubs, trees, forests; various vegetables and fruits grown side by side; crops characterized by high levels of biodiversity; incompletely regulated rivers, occurring floodplains, marshy areas not drained; additionally created ponds and other water reservoirs to collect rainwater; home gardens and orchards with beehive apiaries containing swarms of honey bees; compost piles with superfluous waste from used crops, etc. In addition, sustainable organic farming is being developed with the goal of decarbonizing agriculture in terms of greenhouse gas emissions, including methane, which is particularly dangerous to the climate. Reducing the emissivity will slow down the planet's greenhouse effect and slow down the progressive process of global warming. Besides, the green transformation of agriculture will reduce the scale of environmental pollution, deforestation, contribute to improving the microclimate, slow the process of soil aridity and reduce the scale of increasingly frequent periods of drought. Thus, thanks to the implemented green transformation of agriculture carried out in accordance with the implementation of the goals of sustainable development, climate and environmental social responsibility, the implementation of the principles of sustainable organic farming will significantly increase the scale of sustainability of agriculture in relation to the climate and the surrounding environment. Since in the framework of the carried out green transformation of agriculture, including the planning of farm organization in accordance with the formula of sustainable organic agriculture, it is necessary to take into account a lot of data, information on the ever-changing factors of climate, environment, soil, surrounding natural ecosystems of nature, different techniques of crop production, different varieties of crops, etc. so helpful in this regard probably is the application of analytical technology of multi-criteria processing of large sets of data and information using big Data Analytics platforms and generative technology of artificial intelligence enabling intelligent processing of large sets of data.
The key issues of opportunities and threats to the development of artificial intelligence technology are described in my article below:

How to build an effective system of rainwater harvesting in floodplains with river flooding, local flooding and waterlogging occurring after winter or violent storms in a situation of successively worsening drought, declining surface, subsurface and deep water resources?
Under the conditions of deepening negative effects of climate change, the accelerating process of global warming, the following question becomes more and more relevant and timely: how to build an effective system of rainwater collection in floodplains, where river flooding, local flooding and flooding occurring after winter or violent storms in a situation of successively parallel deepening problem of drought, declining surface, subcutaneous and deep water resources?
The negative effects of progressive climate change, the occurrence of more and more frequent weather anomalies, the occurrence of climatic disasters in many parts of the world and other effects of the increasingly rapid process of global warming are deepening year by year. In many parts of the world, due to the accelerating process of global warming, higher and higher temperatures during summer heatwaves, longer and more severe periods of drought are being recorded year after year. Low surface water levels and droughts are not only the result of the progressive process of global warming, but also of improperly carried out land reclamation and drainage of wetlands and marshes, as well as the overexploitation of a large part of the land area under unsustainable agriculture carried out under the formula of intensive production of agricultural crops, including crops mainly for the production of livestock feed. On the other hand, in some parts of the world, increasingly frequent weather anomalies cause violent storms and downpours resulting in the occurrence of floods and flooding. The aforementioned floods and waterlogging are increasingly occurring in areas used for agriculture and in areas of urban agglomerations, which causes additional problems and economic losses.
At present, i.e. in February 2024, in many parts of the world in the Northern Hemisphere of planet Earth on the one hand where the snow has recently fallen there are floods and waterlogging during the thaw, and paradoxically in other countries next to those lying tens or hundreds of kilometers away there are record high temperatures and record particularly troublesome droughts, historically lowest water levels in rivers and lakes, a decrease in the level of subcutaneous and deep-sea water resources. In countries currently experiencing record droughts, legally normalized bans are being imposed on the use of water for watering lawns, washing cars, filling swimming pools, etc., and even restrictions are being placed on the use of water in the irrigation of agricultural fields. On the other hand, the Southern Hemisphere of the planet experiences record heat during the summer season of the planet's south and subtropical zones. Chile in South America in January-February 2024 is experiencing record heat, high temperatures causing numerous forest fires. The burning forests caused fires in many cities, towns and villages, where many citizens ran various tourist and other services and lost everything because of the fires. The scale of the fires that occurred in Chile caused the government to impose states of disaster and states of emergency in many regions of the country, in which many residential homes, business buildings, hotels, tourist resorts and other building infrastructure were socialized. The scale of damage caused by these fires is the largest in many years.
In view of the above, it is necessary to take systemic and integrated measures, which, on the one hand, should limit the scale of the progressive process of global warming and thus should result in reducing the scale of the negative effects of climate change. On the other hand, it is necessary to adequately protect land areas characterized by a high level of risk of periodic accumulation of large amounts of surface and subsurface water from flooding and waterlogging. As part of the improvement of flood risk management, it is necessary to create a system of retention reservoirs, in which the regulation of the level of accumulated water reserves should be correlated with the results of the long-term weather forecasts carried out and the weather and climate change forecast models developed on their basis. Big Data Analytics, cloud computing, artificial intelligence and other ICT information technologies of advanced multi-criteria data processing and Industry 4.0/5.0 can help in this regard. Besides, over-regulated and concreted riverbeds should be naturalized to allow controlled dumping of excess water into areas of natural restored greenery, restored forests and swamps. In addition, reservoirs should be created to collect rainwater for agricultural purposes, i.e. to irrigate areas used for agriculture during periods of drought. These issues should be key elements in the sustainable management of water resources and the management of the risk of floods, drought and other consequences of the increasing occurrence of situations of weather anomalies and climatic disasters.

Helle fellow researchers,
I have the following problem and also after long research have not find a good way to analyze my data. I want to find groups within my data and I have the following variables avaiable:
Age (in groups e.g. 21-25, 26-30 etc.)
Farm mode (Main occupation or part time)
Farm system (conventional vs organic)
Farm status (owner vs. family member vs. other)
Three yes - no type answers
School education (5 answer possibilities, one could be chosen)
Professional training (several answer could be chosen, can be transformed in yes - no for each type of training)
Sex (male-female-divers-no answer)
Two continous variables with agricultural and grassland area
Four likert scale answer
I have looked into farmer typologies and into PCA and/or clustering, however as I have not a very high number of variables and many categorical variables it is quite difficult to find a method that is adequate.
Would you have any suggestions? I would be very grateful as this is my first analysis regarding those kind of methods.

Prem Baboo added a reply: Professor from India:
There are four seasonal divisions in India, out of which two are monsoon divisions. This automatically makes us aware of the importance of Indian monsoon. Also, India is an agricultural country and the onset of monsoons in India mainly contributes to the country's GDP. A good monsoon brings an economic boom to the entire country and boosts India's economy as agriculture accounts for about 16% of its total GDP. High temperature and heavy rainfall in summer months are important for all kinds of kharif crops
Based on the time of year when these winds hit India, monsoons can also be divided into two periods:
1. Summer monsoons (May to September)
2. Winter monsoons (October to November)
Indian Monsoons, the world's most prominent monsoon systems, mainly affecting India and its surrounding waters. It blows from the northeast. At the equator, the region near India is unique in that prevailing or frequent westerly winds at the surface occur almost continuously throughout the year.
Indian monsoon features:
Dry spells and wet spells: Monsoon in India clearly has a wet phase and a dry phase, characterized by weeks in which there is no rainfall.
Uneven distribution: Monsoons are unevenly distributed and the peninsular part of India receives more rainfall than the plains.
Influence of Topography: Monsoons are influenced by topography. The western part of the Western Ghats receives heavy rainfall while the eastern side is deficient.
Fixed schedule: Monsoons in India usually have a fixed schedule. It usually starts by the first week of June and ends by September. Read more at: https://www.studyiq.com/articles/characteristics-of-indian-monsoon/

Why are microorganisms important in soil agriculture and how do microorganisms living in soil help producers like plants?
I have been doing feasibility studies on the use of microbial biostimulants in agriculture. Compared to conventional fertilizers, they have many advantages, they require a much smaller application and if they can help with increasing yield, a small application can provide a large value proposition.
My question is, if biostimulants are used in a real world agricultural setting, what increases in yield could one see with optimistic assumptions (assuming the choice of crop and associated biostimulant are matched, etc) while being reasonable.
Thank you !
