The world is going through a climatic change due to the over-consumption of ,either land or sea, and if the earth runs out of natural resources , humans will be the first species to be extinct The centre aims investigates and experiment how crops respond to the environment in biological and physical terms (resilient crops), and on the social and economic issues that may influence the uptake of the results of research by policy makers and farmers, including the role of institutions and partnerships in delivering impact presently and futuristically towards 2050.
Green Ark : Experimental Crops towards Agro-Futurism Resiliency VEGETABLE INDUSTRIES TOWARDS FUTURE-DRIVEN SOLUTIONS IN KUALA TERENGGANU IN 2050
Thesis Justification Global : Future of Arable Lands
Arable land refers to land where crops can be cultivated. This usually refers to the totality of land that is not only already cultivated, but also land that has the potential to be cultivated, such as land where the soil and climate are suitable for agriculture, where there is not existing large-scale human settlement, or where the land is not protected by any land right regimen.
Belief : Noah’s Ark
Noah was instructed to build an ark, and in accordance with God’s instructions he took into the ark male and female specimens of all the world’s species of animals, from which the stocks might be replenished. Consequently, according to this narrative, the entire surviving human race survived from Noah’s three sons.
Context : Deluges in Malaysia
Monsoon seasons are the result of extra heavy rainfall. Usually , involving the disruption of ecosystems , human comfort and crops that have been harvested. However ,still no action on insurance claim months after damage due to floods.
Cities of 2050
Rising seas could affect three times more people by 2050 than previously thought, according to new research, threatening to all and erase a number of the world’s great coastal cities.
Land Use
According to Sustainable Development Goals report , UN reported that progress on the 17 interconnected SDGs was uneven and the pace insufficient, with not one country on track to meet the deadline. One reason for the slow progress is climate change, a global challenge that does not respect national borders. The mounting economic losses and destruction from weather and climate-related disasters have made it harder to bridge the gap on ambitious goals like ending poverty and hunger, reducing inequality and providing clean water.
Moving Production To The Seas !
The world ocean is the largest single component in Earth’s life support system. We rely on it for essential ecosystem services. The delivery of those services depends upon having healthy, productive, and diverse ecosystems. The ocean provides opportunities for expanding the production of food while relieving pressures on Wildlife and natural ecosystem functions on land, which are experiencing the fastest rates of extinction because of habitat loss (Cardinale et al., 2012; Diaz et al., 2019; Froehlich et al., 2017; Powers & Jetz, 2019;Waite et al., 2014). Responsibly farming in the sea can benefit society and minimize unfavorable impacts in order to sustain healthy ocean ecosystems (Lester, Gentry, et al., 2018).
PAUSE Dooms Day ! : Gotta Catch Em’ All Battle ! : Climate Change Collect ! : Archive Plants Level Up ! : Innovate Plants Heal ! : Improve & Care Plants Inspired by Pokemon , the saying meant the aim of the game was to collect and evolve as many species as they can ,aiming to become the Pokemon Master. In the context of the scheme , the aim is to encourage people to be more enthuastic about collect and evolving plants to fight climate change , in hopes that it will slow down , perhaps, reverse climate change.
Projections of An Alternate Narrative An Alternative Future
A Future for Food Production The alternative futures approach represents a potent technique for managing uncertainty and improving decision-making. We must either imagine alternative futures for society and the health system or identify those trends and potential discontinuities that might differentiate one future from another.

Recognition that climate change could have negative consequences for agricultural production has generated a desire to build resilience into agricultural systems. One rational and cost-effective method may be the implementation of increased agricultural crop diversification one future from another.

In order to achieve ambitious change, citizen-designers require new methods that cultivate acapacity for speculation. This study aims to do this by testing the interplay between design methods such as speculative design and foresight methods such as scenario explorations, in the context of the Multi-Level Perspective systems change framework. A series of preliminary workshops designed and facilitated by the authors suggest an opportunity for extended research in the role of design methods for creating future imaginaries.

Past : Of Refugees & Pirates Around 250,000 Vietnamese have travelled through or remained in the camp as of October 30, 1991. The remaining refugees in Malaysia were deported to Vietnam once the camp was closed. The refugees were outspoken in their opposition to their forced repatriation. Between 1991 and August 28, 2005, when the final refugees left for Vietnam, a total of 9,000 Vietnamese were returned. The island became accessible to tourists in 1999. It has regained its pure beauty, and many former refugees have returned to their old haunts.

The development of the scheme , aims to create the possibility of life on water , considering the factors of climate change is ever growing and never diminished. Although ,it is a far , a radical reach of thought and idea , many suggestions from scholars have supported the idea and has provided guidlines and research regarding the matter. The Offhsore inspiration cannot be fully adopted , however a ‘Hyper Hybrid’ take on construction is considered . Conventional and modern construction methods are innovated to suit the enviromental surrounding , and the intention of the scheme . All construction methods are innovated with the sole intention of Future-Proofing the components for ever green results.
