farmers to cope with extreme climatic change in agriculture . Recent changes in climate have implications on agriculture , especially in the decrement of productivity . However , farmers ’ ITK practices have contributed to climate change adjustments . Nevertheless , climate change has lots of uncertainties and unpredictability ; ITK infusion with modern technology can lead to strong coping mechanisms in the face of climate change and helps in sustainable farming practices .

Message N-8848
24th July , 3010 , SpaceNEP-
Hi ! This is captain Jay , a representative of Homo Sapiens , commonly called the humans . If you could read this message , we offer you warm greetings from the 31st-century mankind . We are the inhabitants of planet earth but there might not be much of us left there to greet you now , more probably none . But don ’ t worry we humans are quite well-fashioned when it comes to greeting guests , at least in my country we are .
You might be in a bit of confusion about how the message got to you and what it ’ s actually about . Well , in short , this message was shot into the C-16504 wormhole by my spacecraft during our quest to find an alternative home planet for my fellow human beings . The earth is ruined now , incapable of sustaining life . Our people are dying of exposure to cosmic rays and frequent virus outbreaks . Not to mention the recurrent devastating Tsunamis and earthquakes followed by drought and famine . But the earth wasn ’ t the same always . It used to be a beautiful place , at least the pictures of the past say so . Life used to boom and gloom there . This message is to briefly tell the story of the earth and the human race to intelligent species possibly hidden on the other side of the wormhole . It is to mark the proof of our existence ; to tell how the humans came , conquered , and collapsed .
Well , our origin is much more of an open-ended question to date . Some religious researchers state that we were created by God , just like the rest of the universe . They however have their own different theories regarding this creation and the God-appointed to create people of each religion is different . Then there are some intelligent guessers , who select and finalize truth and science about creation . Some believe we evolved from microorganisms others suppose life was brought by outsiders from space but nobody explains who created these microorganisms and who these outsiders are . Long story short , we have no clue where we come from . Sad , but it ’ s true .
It might sound astonishing for a species , who is unaware of its own creation , to dominate an entire planet . To add to your astonishment , we aren ’ t the strongest or fastest beings on planet earth . But we do possess something that other species don ’ t ; an insatiable thirst . This was both a boon and a bane for human history . We never have enough of something . A thirst that tends to get anything and everything , a thirst that can ’ t be
