Dry_Farming

Dry Farming: A Regenerative Path Through El Niño A New Era of Climate-Resilient Agriculture El Niño is reshaping climate in certain key areas of agriculture lands all over the World with delayed monsoons, prolonged dry spells, and rising temperatures.   WARNING SIGNS As groundwater levels fall and irrigation becomes unreliable, farmers need a system that works with drought-not against it.

Alcoholism, Alcohol Consumption on Rise, Human Resources going waste

Both of them fainted because they did not have anything to eat. The elderly person did not even know that his daughter died because he himself was not in sense due to hunger.

I pray to God to give you the right heart to do atleast some good, so we do not hear such tragedies. True leaders were there long back and they have guided you. Those golden words were never followed and these tragedies are occuring even now. Senior Citizens" But...
