Dear Contributors

It is highly illuminating to get so many diverse views in this platform. My kudos to all of you. One of my request is, if the land practioners also are involved, then, it will be highly desirable to have their viewpoints. Soil use is eventually, actually a land use and we know, land use patterns are not uniform, so are our soils. My take is, can we think of or involve many land practiioners on following viewpoints :

How, for example, will be a suitable VGSSM for a city called a smart city ?

How for example, will be  a suitable VGSSM for Peri Urban Farming Systems?

How , for example, will be a suitable VGSSM for mountain soils?

How , for example, will be a suitable VGSSM for soils that are below sea level (Kuttanad region of Kerala, India)?

How for example, will be  a suitable VGSSM for Intensive Integrated Farming Systems?

How for example, will be  a suitable VGSSM for Crop Livestock integration Systems?

How for example, will be  a suitable VGSSM for Agro Forestry Systems?

Of course , we all are primarily focussed and  concentrated on VGSSM for our Crop based land use patterns.

But there are

etc etc etc......... based land use patterns

Let us reorient ourselves a little more towards thses facts also, to invite more discussions and viewpoints.

Nevertheless, the discussions, till date have been so enlightening, and my congratulations to Ronald and Den for moderating so beautifully and all the contributors.
