We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

This is a presentation by Dada Robert in a Your Skill Boost masterclass organised by the Excellence Foundation for South Sudan (EFSS) on Saturday, the 25th and Sunday, the 26th of May 2024.
He discussed the concept of quality improvement, emphasizing its applicability to various aspects of life, including personal, project, and program improvements. He defined quality as doing the right thing at the right time in the right way to achieve the best possible results and discussed the concept of the "gap" between what we know and what we do, and how this gap represents the areas we need to improve. He explained the scientific approach to quality improvement, which involves systematic performance analysis, testing and learning, and implementing change ideas. He also highlighted the importance of client focus and a team approach to quality improvement.

Farming System
Definition: Farming system represents an appropriate combination of farm enterprises
through the Cropping system, livestock, poultry, fisheries, forestry, and the means available to
the farmer to raise them for increasing profitability. They interact adequately with the
environment without dislocating the ecological and socio-economic balance on the one hand
attempt to meet the national goals on the other.
Farming systems will be based on three technical principles:
Simultaneous achievement of increased agricultural productivity and enhancement of
natural capital and ecosystem services.
Higher rates of efficiency in the use of key inputs, including water, nutrients, pesticides,
energy, land, and labour.
Use of managed and natural biodiversity to build system resilience to abiotic, biotic, and
economic stress.
Farming System-Components
Labourer
Livestock
Crops
Water
Soil
Other resources
Functions within the limits of capability/resources/socio-cultural settings.
Interacting with physical, biological, economic factors.
Managing agricultural activity/even non-farm vocations

Advantages of the farming system:
1.Optimum and sustainable production
2.High farmprofitability
3.Resiliency to climate change effects
4.Optimized ecosystemfunction
5.Reduced emission of greenhousegases and carbon footprint from the agricultureindustry.
Factors affecting farming system:
HUMAN FACTORS IN AGRICULTURE
Population size leads to larger areas of cultivation and competition for land
Farming techniques.in developed countries, modern techniques,
Which include mechanization and fertilizers, which have increased production.in less
developed countries, traditional techniques keep production lower.
Globalization-economic globalization means countries can export their products to other
countries.producersmustcompetein quality and price. Thisleads to intensiveproduction
techniques.
Environmentalpolicies aim to protectthe environmentand guaranteesafe, healthy food.
Policies regulate irrigation, use of fertilizers, pesticides, and treatment of waste.
PHYSICAL FACTORS IN AGRICULTURE
Climate: Some crops grow better in one climate zone than in others. In general, plants
cannot grow in areas with very high temperatures or very low ones. They cannotgrow in
areas with too little rain or too much rain.
Soil: Plants need soil with certain characteristics. the grain size and porosity of the soil
affect the amountof oxygen the soil contains, and its ability to retain water. the chemical
and biological composition of the soildetermines its degree of acidity and the number of
mineral nutrients and organic matter.

Crop diversification: It refers to the addition of new crops or cropping systems to
agriculturalproduction on a farm. by diversifying, farmersincreasetherangeof potential
food and income sources available to them.
Scope for crop diversification, intensification, and value addition to agricultural produce.
The sector can absorb the labor force and generate income.
The scope for reducing yield gaps exists.
The agricultural sector is a single large contributor to GDP.
A crop production systemis highly labor-intensiveand labour is abundantin the country.
Agriculturalcommodities have comparatively higher value addition than non-agricultural
commodities.
Nowadays our country is exporting many of our local products to many foreign countries,
it is very much helpful for us.
Advantages:
1. Better use of land, labour, and capital: better area land through the adoption of crop
rotations, steady employment of farm and family labour and more profitable use of
equipment are obtained in diversified farming.
2.Less risk to crop failure and market price of the product
3. The by-productsofthis farmcan utilize properlyas cattle, poultry,birds,etc. arereared
with crop production.
4.Quicker returns obtained from various enterprises.
5. Diversified farming is less risky than specialized farming.
6.Best use of all types of equipment

Goals of Sustainable Agriculture:
Sustainable agriculture, therefore, is any system of food or fiber production that
systematically pursues the following goals:
More thorough incorporation of natural processes such as nutrient cycling nitrogen
fixation and pest-predator relationships into agricultural production processes
The fullparticipation of farmersandruralpeople in all processesofproblemanalysisand
technology development, adoption, and extension.
More equitable access to predictive resources and opportunities, and progress towards
more socially just forms of agriculture.
Greater productive use of local knowledge and practices, including innovation in
approaches not yet fully understood by scientists or widely adopted by farmers.
An increase in self-reliance among farmers and rural people
Profitable and efficient production with an emphasis on integrated farm management
and conservation of soil, water, energy, and biological resources.
Major components of sustainable agriculture:

THREE PILLARS OF SUSTAINABILITY:
Economic: The people in the western world are heavy consumers. In fact, we consume far
more than our fair share. meanwhile, the people in developing countries are exploding in
population and some are aspiring to have high consumption lifestyles too. We need a
sustainable economic model that ensures fair distribution and efficient allocation of our
resourcesthis pillar ensuresthat oureconomic growthmaintains a healthy balancewith our
system.
Environmental: We take our natural resources for granted and sometimes we forget that
those resources are not unlimited. This pillar supports initiatives like renewable energy,
reducing fossil fuel consumption and emission, sustainable agriculture and fishing, organic
farming, tree planting, and reducing deforestation recycling and better wastemanagement.
Social: As a global citizen, wemust never turn a blind eyeto social disruptions thatthreaten
the well-being of people and our environment. We have an ethical responsibility to do
something about human inequality, social injustice, and poverty. this pillar supports
initiatives like peace, social justice, reducing poverty, and other grass rootmovements that
promote social equity.
Benefits of Sustainable Agriculture:
It does not advocate for the use of chemicals and commercial fertilizers.

This reduces certain harmful effects on the environment that can pollute it.
It promotes the culture of raising animals through feeding on natural feeds.
These can fetch the best prices in the market.
Biodiversity is yet another advantage of sustainable agriculture.
It advocates for the production of various kinds of plant and animal species.
Plants are cultivated in rotations.
