The effort in establishing the Hong Kong Branch of Biomaterials seeks to promote further collaboration with the Main Centre with the goals of promoting synergy and a win-win cooperation between mainland China and Hong Kong in scientific research, talent cultivation, clinically driven novel biomaterials product design, and preclinical and clinical testing.
So Colombian cocaine traffickers decided to diversify and launched a poppy-cultivation drive, importing seeds, equipment and expertise from Southwest Asia.
The higher cultivation levels were driven by high prices for the crop as well as instability in the main growing areas, which made it easier for farmers and traffickers to operate.
Complete Farmer: A "crowdfarming" platform that enables users to invest in sustainable farms and monitor farming activities without discarding their daily routine using data driven cultivation protocols and IoT enabled precision farming.
The increase in poppy cultivation in Mexico was driven partly by the diversion of Mexican soldiers from poppy eradication to urban peacekeeping, under a crackdown on organised crime launched in 2006.Heroin traffickers are also responding to market forces in America.
Intensive sampling during this study revealed that within a 2-year period local extinction/recolonization events occur and may be driven by cultivation practices as described above that remove entire host plants, causing the distribution and abundance of E. flavipes populations to change in both space and time (see Anderson et al. 2009).
Therefore, investigating crop domestication genes will shed meaningful light on genetic variation that drives cultivation adaptation [ 15].

While historically crop cultivators, many Djermas increasingly rely on livestock, which follows the regional trend towards mixed farming systems, blurring the dichotomy between ethnicities who traditionally based their livelihoods uniquely on either livestock owning or crop cultivation, a trend which is driven by the need for diversification to reduce vulnerability.
