Synopsis (short abstract) As women and men farmers are increasingly adopting powered and automated equipment, the dangers of related accidents are rising. These accidents can cause grievous bodily harm from simple cuts and scrapes to loss of fingers, limbs and life. Operators of these machines must be very conscious and constantly aware of the safety of everyone involved and working near these powered machines. A poster on the safety and the correct use of powered machines should be made available in the communities. Please print this safety poster and display it at the mechanization service centres and where gatherings take place. There is great need to create many other safety posters for other popular powered agricultural machinery.

    Projecting forest dynamics is the foundation for sound decision support in adaptive forest management. However, due to their complexity, many forest modeling techniques addressing global changes in terrestrial ecosystems are limited to scientific applications. Integrating conventional research and artificial intelligence technologies has the potential to bridge research and practical use. In this study, we propose a Machine Learning (ML) framework that facilitates the implementation of long-term forest projections under climate change scenarios. Our approach combines ML and forest simulations based on process-based models to project forest dynamics. The goal is to leverage the complementary strength of process-based and state-of-the-art ML models to improve predictions at a reduced computational cost. We use environmental data and periodic field measurements at a national scale to train ML models to predict forest growth. By integrating process-based simulations we investigate how the additional variables can improve the prediction accuracy. The proposed hybrid ML framework identifies forest dynamics processes and drivers across spatial and temporal scales, contributing at many levels to the climate change adaptation: from increasing awareness of the climate-induced hazards to enhancing education and assisting in sustainable natural resource management and planning.
