Hej Merle,</div>
<div style="font-family:Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:12pt; color:rgb(0,0,0)">
All farming-land need a rotation of different crops. Some times perennial plants to increase the nitrogen and some time other crops<span style="font-family:Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align:left; background-color:rgb(255,255,255); display:inline!important">.</span></div>
<div style="font-family:Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:12pt; color:rgb(0,0,0)">
<span style="font-family:Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align:left; background-color:rgb(255,255,255); display:inline!important">So it means that we need a rotation program (3-5 year) and this different plant must stand the climate change.</span></div>
<div style="font-family:Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:12pt; color:rgb(0,0,0)">
<span style="font-family:Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align:left; background-color:rgb(255,255,255); display:inline!important"><br>
</span></div>
<div style="font-family:Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:12pt; color:rgb(0,0,0)">
<span style="font-family:Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align:left; background-color:rgb(255,255,255); display:inline!important">A bigger problem is the insects. We need them for this rotation. I have been working with my local food program since we met
in Stockholm.</span></div>
<div style="font-family:Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:12pt; color:rgb(0,0,0)">
<span style="font-family:Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align:left; background-color:rgb(255,255,255); display:inline!important">I talk to fisher/hunters and they told me that this year the fishing was zero. So I talk to next village and next village and
next village and everywhere the same problem.</span></div>

</span></div>
<div style="font-family:Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:12pt; color:rgb(0,0,0)">
<span style="font-family:Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align:left; background-color:rgb(255,255,255); display:inline!important">So I find some experts (entomologist) of insects and they told me that the situation i<span class="x_gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">s
</span>catastrophic. The insect are more or less extinct. In this clean country?</span></div>
<div style="font-family:Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:12pt; color:rgb(0,0,0)">
We <u>cant focus on climate change</u>, it is only a part of the problem. Just now, just here it is not a problem at all. The problem with lack of insects is worse.</div>
<div style="font-family:Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:12pt; color:rgb(0,0,0)">
<br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:12pt; color:rgb(0,0,0)">
The entomologists told me the they have warn the government years ago. The problem is the management of the forests and the pesticides from the farming.</div>
<div style="font-family:Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:12pt; color:rgb(0,0,0)">
This is two sensitive areas for the government so they did not listen. If the scientist was to
<span class="x_gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">tell about it</span> the<span class="x_gmail_default" style="font-family:verdana,sans-serif">y</span> lost their titles so they could not tell the truth about it.</div>
<div style="font-family:Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:12pt; color:rgb(0,0,0)">
And it is still the same situation.</div>
<div style="font-family:Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:12pt; color:rgb(0,0,0)">
<br>
</div>
<div style="font-family:Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:12pt; color:rgb(0,0,0)">
So in my topsoil improvement program I involve the insects and now it is emergency. We have 2-3 years to help them to survival. </div>
<div style="font-family:Calibri,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size:12pt; color:rgb(0,0,0)">
If the insects will be extinct the climate doesn't matter we can't survival. It takes millions of years to repair. Climate can be adjusted i 100 year if we want.</div>
