#Drone Regulations in India

If you ever had pastries at breakfast, drank soy milk, used soaps at home, or built yourself a nice flat-pack piece of furniture, you may have contributed to deforestation and climate change.

Every item has a price—but the cost isn’t felt only in our pockets. Hidden in that price is a complex chain of production, encompassing economic, social, and environmental relations that sustain livelihoods and, unfortunately, contribute to habitat destruction, deforestation, and the warming of our planet.

Approximately 4 billion hectares of forest around the world act as a carbon sink which, over the past two decades, has annually absorbed a net 7.6 billion metric tons of CO2. That’s the equivalent of 1.5 times the annual emissions of the US.

Conversely, a cleared forest becomes a carbon source. Many factors lead to forest clearing, but the root cause is economic. Farmers cut down the forest to expand their farms, support cattle grazing, harvest timber, mine minerals, and build infrastructure such as roads. Until that economic pressure goes away, the clearing may continue.

In 2024, however, we are going to see a big boost to global efforts to fight deforestation. New EU legislation will make it illegal to sell or export a range of commodities if they have been produced on deforested land. Sellers will need to identify exactly where their product originates, down to the geolocation of the plot. Penalties are harsh, including bans and fines of up to 4 percent of the offender's annual EU-wide turnover. As such, industry pushback has been strong, claiming that the costs are too high or the requirements are too onerous. Like many global frameworks, this initiative is being led by the EU, with other countries sure to follow, as the so-called Brussels Effect pressures ever more jurisdictions to adopt its methods.

The impact of these measures will only be as strong as the enforcement and, in 2024, we will see new ways of doing that digitally. At Farmerline (which I cofounded), for instance, we have been working on supply chain traceability for over a decade. We incentivize rule-following by making it beneficial.

When we digitize farmers and allow them and other stakeholders to track their products from soil to shelf, they also gain access to a suite of other products: the latest, most sustainable farming practices in their own language, access to flexible financing to fund climate-smart products such as drought-resistant seeds, solar irrigation systems and organic fertilizers, and the ability to earn more through international commodity markets.

Digitization helps build resilience and lasting wealth for the smallholders and helps save the environment. Another example is the World Economic Forum’s OneMap—an open-source privacy-preserving digital tool which helps governments use geospatial and farmer data to improve planning and decision making in agriculture and land. In India, the Data Empowerment Protection Architecture also provides a secure consent-based data-sharing framework to accelerate global financial inclusion.

In 2024 we will also see more food companies and food certification bodies leverage digital payment tools, like mobile money, to ensure farmers’ pay is not only direct and transparent, but also better if they comply with deforestation regulations.

The fight against deforestation will also be made easier by developments in hardware technology. New, lightweight drones from startups such as AirSeed can plant seeds, while further up, mini-satellites, such as those from Planet Labs, are taking millions of images per week, allowing governments and NGOs to track areas being deforested in near-real time. In Rwanda, researchers are using AI and the aerial footage captured by Planet Labs to calculate, monitor, and estimate the carbon stock of the entire country.

With these advances in software and hard-tech, in 2024, the global fight against deforestation will finally start to grow new shoots.

Lockheed Martin announces European F-16 Training Center in Romania 🇷🇴

Center will have the participation of the Dutch.

Fernando Valduga By Fernando Valduga 08/31/2023 - 18:31 in Military, War Zones

Lockheed Martin and the governments of Romania and the Netherlands have announced a Letter of Intentions to establish the European F-16 Fighter Training Center in Romania.

For the center, the Dutch Ministry of Defense should lend F-16 fighters to help in the training of Ukrainian pilots in Romania.

Putting the pen on paper in Madrid, on August 30, the Minister of Defense of the Netherlands, Kajsa Ollongren, along with her Romanian counterpart, Angel Tîlv? r, and Filippo Marchetti, from Lockheed Martin, signed this decision.

“The F-16 continues to play a crucial role in 21st century security missions to the United States, Europe, NATO and allies around the world,” said OJ Sanchez, vice president and general manager of the Integrated Fighter Group. "LockedLock Martin is proud to partner with the Netherlands and Romania in this European F-16 Training Center in Romania, which will increase mission readiness through a comprehensive F-16 training solution for Romanian pilots."

The center will focus on ensuring the effectiveness and safety of Romanians flying and operating F-16 fighters and may eventually expand to include training for other nations.

“As soon as the details are finalized, we are confident that the training center will benefit Romania and other regional F-16 operators, potentially including Ukraine,” Sanchez added.

F-16 training for Ukrainian pilots will be held in Denmark and Romania, with the expectation that the initial group of Ukrainian F-16 pilots will complete their training in early 2024.

The United States gave the green light to the plan, fully in accordance with the supply of the F-16s, granting authorization to transfer third parties to the Romanian training center.

With the Dutch flight training of the F-16 previously taking place in the United States, the current capacity restrictions and the transition to the F-35 led to the interruption of this training last summer. Now, as the Netherlands prepares for the complete transition to the F-35 by 2024, Lockheed Martin will be in charge of operating and maintaining the aircraft in conjunction with Romania, all in line with Dutch military aviation standards and European regulations, while providing the necessary training.
