Cal lore dump

you asked for this @systembug

words are hard and I might forget to include stuff so feel free to ask questions and thinfs. stuff under cut. also beware, there is drama and tragedy

physical discription, for things that don't show in art very much: Cal is Large, they were chubby as a baseline human and have maintained that general shape even through the process of augmentatin. four bladed legs and a pair of extra arms add some bulk as well. their 6 eye-lenses can be colour manipulated to emulate emotion, this aids in interacting with baseline humans. as a scholar of languages, they maintain organic airways. the rebreather can be removed to give access to their mouth. (the downside of this is they have developed a habit of stress-eating only to realise later that they do no longer have the digestive system to actually process the stuff they "ate" and having to clean out their systems). They have two servo-skulls made from goat skulls and a cyber-goat (it's like a cyber mastiff) that follows them around. it's a shredder for documents. Oh, yes, their robes are dark purple, hemmed in red.

Early life, pre joining the mechanicus:

Cal was recruited from an agri-world. this is where the goat skulls come from, they belonged to Cal's beloved pets that they refused to leave behind when the mechanicus recruited them. They were recruited for their talent with archeo- and xenolanguages

Training and life on Aberdeen-6:

Not much to say about Cal here because this was pretty standard fare. Instead, let me tell you about Aberdeen-6. My main fanmade forgeworld is Repleator. Cal is not from there. Instead they hail from Aberdeen-6, a forgeworld located far from any other systems, bordering the void of space. The planet has pridominant trading connections to the space shark marine chapter, and relies strongly on their archeotech. as to why they are out there in the void? they're using spykic energy to power their generators. the planet has a strangely high number of psykers born among their ranks, and they send them out to platforms in the void (where they will not accidentally destroy the planet if a deamon gets summoned) to harness their energy. it is unsure if this is entirely throne-sanctioned. Cal is loyalist, though, in case that needs to be specified.

life as a Magos Dominus:

Despite being a scholar first and foremost, Cal eventually found themselves being pushed into the role of a military leader. Aberdeen-6 was short on those in an attempt to protect the planet from an encroaching threat. Cal underwent all of the augmentations needed for a dominus to thrive on the battlefield: their mechadendrites were fitted with tasers, they were given a pair of extra arms that had guns instead of hands, and the bladed legs to move without bounce for steadier aim. They also got the noospheric connection to their skitarii, connecting them to their vid-feeds and allowing for tactical taking control if the need arises. Caledon although pretty softhearted, did surprisingly well. Their campaigns were not as quick or efficient as others, but they consistently brought back their troops with minimal losses and the morale in these troops was consistently higher than anywhere else. They even became a parental figure to their skitarii alpha, Rho, though Rho might have wished it to be more than that.

This came to an end when they suffered a thundering defeat, wiping their ranks. Cal will never forget seeing their skitarii die before them and feeling them disconnect from the noosphere while their vid-feed goes dark. They have a lot of survivor's guild about this, and their internal systems still occasionally send out connection requests for skitarii that will never be able to heed the call again. Caledon stepped down from the position as a magos dominus and had their body rebuild to be more suited to work as a lexmechanic.

Working as a Lexmechanic:

their proclivity with archeo and xenolanguage became cal's main tool of the trade as they transitioned away from the battlefield. their brain was augmented to be able to process multiple feeds of information at once. This also removed their need for true sleep: different aspects of Cal's brain will take turns to perform sleep functions. Cal now spends almost all their time in the archives, translating and transcribing sources. They are key in aiding explorator fleets to translate their findings, as well as help current magi understand writing on stc fragments.

It was while working on one of these that Cal encountered the scared and mentally broken Intervallum, a skitarius (oc belongs to @thatspacecato). Cal, upon seeing this skittle, in fear and distress basically went "no. not this one. I will protect this one" and intervallum has been hanging around them ever since. I will not elaborate on skittle lore much more, because I feel like that's not my place, but yeah

I think that's about everything there is to say about Cal, feel free to send asks or something if you wish :D

Editor's Note: Below is a viewpoint from the Foresight Africa 2023 report, which explores top priorities for the region in the coming year. Read the full chapter on food security.

In Liberia, we hold one truth to be self-evident: If one has not eaten rice on any given day, then one has not eaten. Well, at least that is the conventional theory that has driven food policy and planning for the last 60 years.

Rice is Liberia’s staple food, and our contemporary history has been completely shaped by rice: Its availability on the local market, price, and, to a lesser extent, quality. Since 1979, when government plans to raise tariffs on imported rice caused deadly riots, and eventually a coup d’état, public policy has favored imports over locally produced rice.

Fast forward to 2022, and it’s 4Cs: COVID-19, Climate, Conflict, and Commodity price escalations. Four simultaneous and intensifying shocks, at a time when we have not fully recovered from the previous shock of Ebola.

And here is another incontrovertible truth: Liberians’ dogged reliance on imported food is not sustainable. The looming food security crisis is an opportunity to finally tackle rice availability on three main fronts: Boosting smallholder production; taking agribusiness micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) to scale; and attracting commercial agri-food enterprises.

Since we have ostensibly been doing just these things for years, now is the time to innovate the “how” of agri-food production. The “innovation” is simple: Enhance what is working, what is familiar and help farmers and businesses to produce more, faster, cheaper—and get surpluses to market. The technologies exist to do this.

Take rice. President Weah has set up a National Rice Stabilization Task Force to ensure constant availability of rice in our markets. We have set a national goal to grow 75 percent of what we consume in four cropping seasons: A 150 percent increase in production over what we are doing now.

In setting these targets, we considered the production realities of our smallholders. Realizing the adoption of yield improving technologies has been poor, and rarely sustained past project-end, we are resolving some of the challenges brought on by limited capital and labor for any given piece of land: Improving weed and pest management on farms; post-harvest processing capacities at village level (to optimize use); and access to markets and digital buying platforms. Couple these with solutions that enhance food and nutrition security, water, and energy at community level.

We work with MSMEs along the value chain to grow or build and service and maintain the seeds, tools, and equipment needed to produce, package, transport, and market rice to urban consumers. The Liberia Agricultural Commercialization Fund is providing critical financing to innovations that service food markets and helping rice processors to scale up operations.

We are building our knowledge base and creating business profiles to attract private investments.

The global food security crisis compels Liberia to draw on its legendary resilience and creativity. We are intentional about getting rice right. And we will.

semiochemical-based agricultural biologicals are projected to experience the highest CAGR throughout the forecast period.

Semiochemicals are a class of naturally occurring compounds that can affect the behavior of pests by interfering with their mating, feeding, or any other communicating process. Unlike conventional pesticides, semiochemicals only have negative actions on target pests and do not impact helpful insects and the surrounding environments; hence, they are efficient tools in integrated pest management programs. Also, the increasing adoption of IPM practices, coupled with growing precision needs in pest control, fuels the demand for semiochemicals. The improvement of formulation technologies that better guarantee stability and delivery will further enhance the growth of the semiochemicals market. Some of the key benefits associated with semiochemicals that make them rapidly adaptable in most agricultural settings include pest resistance reduction and the possibility of long-term pest control solutions.

Fruits & vegetables are projected to experience the highest CAGR in the crop type segment throughout the forecast period.

Farmers are increasingly turning to agri-biologicals to protect their crops, as even minor damage can lead to significant economic losses. Also, most fruits and vegetables have a much faster growth cycle; accordingly, protection from pests and diseases demands more frequent and precise measures, which are provided by agri-biologicals. The perishability and quality requirements of fruits and vegetables also drive the adoption of biologicals that offer residue-free solutions and comply with strict safety and quality standards in both domestic and export markets. Moreover, the intensive cultivation practices involved in fruit and vegetable production create a higher demand for effective biological solutions in order to maintain yield and quality.

The North American agricultural biologicals market is projected to experience the highest CAGR throughout the forecast period.

The key market participants, coupled with the continuous launch of newer and more advanced biological products with applications in local agriculture, are driving this growth. Besides, the well-developed regulatory pathways in North America help in faster approval and adoption of new products. Large-scale commercial farming in the region focuses on higher yields with lesser resistance development in pests and diseases, raising demand for new-age agricultural biologicals. This, therefore, boosts the market through increased adoption of precision agriculture technologies in North America, hence the better application and resulting efficacy of biologicals.

Agricultural Biologicals Companies

The key players in the agricultural biologicals market include BASF SE (Germany), Syngenta Group (Switzerland), Bayer AG (Germany), FMC Corporation (US), Corteva (US), UPL (India), Nufarm (Australia), Novozymes A/S (Denmark), Lallemand Inc (Canada), Mosaic (US), Rovensa Next (Spain), Sumitomo Chemical Co., Ltd (Japan), SEIPASA, S.A. (Spain), Koppert (Netherlands), and Gowan Company (US). These market participants are emphasizing the expansion of their footprint via agreements and partnerships.

Industrial policy: European Union action

The industrial sector, which now accounts for almost a quarter of Europe's GDP, is facing increasing global competition. The European Union seeks to stimulate its development by funding projects and setting a number of regulations. The EU is currently the third largest industrial power in the world, behind China and the US.

The continent is home to a large number of large companies, particularly in the automotive, transport, defence, chemical/pharmaceutical and agri-food sectors. However, compared to the services sector, the weight of industry is gradually declining. Between 2000 and 2020, industry's share in the EU fell from 25.5 to 22.2% of GDP (including the construction sector). Industry is also the largest employer in several Eastern European countries, but on a European scale it now accounts for less than 22% of jobs.

The role of the European Union

Industrial policy is essentially the responsibility of EU member states. However, since the 1950s, the EU has limited the practice of state intervention within the single market to encourage competition between states. Under the 1992 Maastricht Treaty, industrial policy became a subsidiary competence of the EU. This means that the EU can intervene ‘to support, co-ordinate or supplement actions taken by Member States’.

Since then, European industrial policy has aimed at creating an environment that favours the competitiveness of companies in the sector. Its objectives, as defined in Article 173 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, are as follows:

To accelerate the adaptation of industry to structural change;

To promote a favourable environment for the initiative and development of enterprises within the Union, especially small and medium-sized enterprises;

To create favourable conditions for cooperation between enterprises;

Encourage better utilisation of industrial potential for innovation, research and technological development policies.

Horizontal policies and measures

As the Union's powers in this area are limited, its industrial policy is essentially horizontal: it aims at improving the overall economic situation in the sector. Among the general objectives defined in 2010 (Europe 2020 strategy), the EU has set itself the task of ‘co-operating closely with stakeholders’ and ‘creating a framework conducive to the emergence of a modern industrial policy’.

Measures taken include:

Simplification of administrative formalities for SMEs;

Defining common rules for exports from the defence industry;

Several plans to improve the energy efficiency of buildings;

A ‘circular economy’ programme aimed at recycling and extending the life cycle of products.

Europe's new industrial strategy

A new industrial strategy was proposed in March 2020, aimed at funding industry ‘alliances’ to boost European competitiveness in areas ranging from pure hydrogen to satellites. It also emphasises the need to protect European intellectual property to ensure a level playing field globally.

In May 2021, new targets were added in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. Three key areas are highlighted:

Strengthening the resilience of the single market, especially in times of crisis;

Reducing Europe's dependence in strategic areas such as raw materials and advanced technologies;

Developing industrial alliances to increase Europe's autonomy in key sectors.

Regulating external competition

While developing its industry, the EU also seeks to better protect it from international competition. It has trade defence tools at its disposal: anti-dumping rules, anti-subsidy measures and safeguard measures. In 2020, a foreign direct investment filtering mechanism was introduced to protect the Union's strategic interests.

In 2021, the Commission adopted a proposal to regulate foreign subsidies distorting the single market. Negotiations are underway to introduce a border carbon adjustment mechanism aimed at raising prices for products from countries that do not comply with the same environmental rules as Europeans.

Financial support for industry

The EU also helps finance industrial projects through cohesion policy and other programmes. Between 2014 and 2020, €65 billion was allocated exclusively to SMEs, especially in the industrial sector. The Horizon Europe programme is funded at 95.5 billion euro between 2021 and 2027. The Investment Plan for Europe was adopted in 2015 and its successor, the 750bn euro Next Generation EU Recovery Plan, is designed to ensure Europe's recovery from recession.

However, support to the EU and individual member states is highly regulated. Competition policy limits governments' room for manoeuvre in industrial policy, which poses some challenges.

Conclusion

European industry needs stronger support for start-ups and innovation to improve competitiveness. The introduction of new technologies and improved financing conditions play a key role in this process. These measures will help to strengthen economic development and adapt to global change.
