needed o know about research on date palm based on drought occurances and develop recommendations based on technologies, or research and development that can provide solutions to farmers in australia to ensure resillience during drought times. Growing and production in drought and desert climates, and report on how farmers here in australia can implement date trees on their farms to increase resillience during times of drought when other crops would otherwise fail.
Unfortunately data palms do not have drought resistance, that is why they are grown around oases instead of found out in pure desert areas. Instead would suggest Australian farmers replant native grasses to sell carbon credits to the oil companies, so that their country can become Carbon Neutral a lot faster than a few decades to a century from now.
All of the world's marginal farmers and persons grazing desert areas, need to convert from conventional crops and grazing in drought prone areas, to replanting local natives to sequester carbon in the soil, so we can keep burning fossil fuels. We need to have the native plants put the carbon back into the soil before we burn the fossil fuels. That is what Occidental Petroleum did last year, bought carbon offsets so they were able to sell 2 million barrels of Carbon Neutral oil to India.
That is what Saudi Arabia and 24 countries have done last week at COP27, going to plant 50 billion trees with their "Middle East Green Initiative" to offset CO2.
Also, see my website at https://www.ecoseeds.com/cool.html
Australia itself, needs to start its own "Green Initiative" to start offsetting all of the coal production that they are exporting to China and elsewhere. Plant enough native grasses and native trees, so they can sell already Carbon Neutral coal to their customers. Then, there customers can be immediately carbon neutral instead of waiting decades to a century.
And that applies to your country of Pakistan, which joined the "Middle East Green Initiative" when your Prime Minister made a pledge to be part of the 24 countries that are going to plant 40 BILLION trees to offset Global Warming.
The good thing about planting trees, is you will also help cure droughts that way. That is what the people of the Indus Valley found 3,500 years ago, chop down all the trees to fire the millions of bricks to build your 1,000 cities, and the rain stops, and all of your five million people must abandon every one of those 1,000 cities forever.
