Free land for a better Afghanistan, decreased wages, increased exports

The publisher wants to recommend a solution to check the increased imports of food items and initiate import substitutions of agriculture products.

Based on marcantalist view, if land is freely distributed to people for cultivation it will increase agriculture products and decrease spending on food, which consists almost 44% of household spending in CPI, that will decrease wages as a result.

Based on Islamic law as well, if any land is not cultivated for three consecutive years, the land should be given to any other person who does cultivate it for multiple years.

The puplisher wants to recommend that land should be distributed among certain categories of citizens, such as families with many children, disabled persons and people whose profession includes hard physical labor to receive 1 hectare (2.47 acres) of free land from the state to build a home and start a farm for personal use or a commercial agricultural enterprise.

At the same time, some categories of citizens, such as convicts who have not served their sentences and all people convicted of corruption crimes would not be allowed to participate in the program.

The land will be first granted for free use for a period of five years. After that, state bodies will check if the plot is used for the declared purposes and allow prolongation of its free use or make it the homeowner’s permanent property.

The measure would help millions of Afghans to turn to agriculture and also solve the problem of repopulation of remote areas and the return of abandoned lands to agricultural production.

Eventually, the new landowners could form the core of the Afghan middle class.

Another benefit of the program is its input into the import replacement program as a measure of reciprocal sanctions on agricultural produce from Pakistan.

The free handover of land plots is very appropriate during the crisis, as it would allow people to invest their savings and revive the national economy.

For a better Afghanistan!

The role of human judgment in the peer review process: why AI cannot replace human intelligence in academic publishing

 The role of human judgment in the peer review process: why AI cannot replace human intelligence in academic publishing Artificial intelligence (AI) has made significant progress in various fields in recent years, from healthcare to finance, and has even been used to generate creative content such as music and poetry. However, there are certain tasks and roles that are better suited for human intelligence, and one such role is academic publishing. Academic publishing involves the review and dissemination of research findings, and it is a crucial part of the scientific process. The peer review process, in particular, is a key aspect of academic publishing, as it helps to ensure the quality and validity of research. There are several reasons why AI cannot replace human intelligence in academic publishing. Firstly, AI lacks the ability to critically evaluate research. While AI algorithms can identify patterns and trends, they cannot assess the quality of research or its relevance to a...

CBDC: Revolutionizing the Financial System or Disrupting It?

CBDC: Revolutionizing the Financial System or Disrupting It? Digital currency issued by central banks, also known as central bank digital currency (CBDC), is a type of digital currency that is issued and backed by a central bank, such as the Federal Reserve in the United States or the Bank of England in the United Kingdom. CBDCs are designed to be an electronic version of fiat money, which is the traditional paper currency that is issued and backed by a central bank. CBDCs are typically issued and managed using distributed ledger technology, such as blockchain, and can be used for a variety of purposes, including making payments, transferring money, and storing value. CBDCs are an emerging area of study and development, and there are currently a number of central banks around the world exploring the potential uses and benefits of CBDCs. Central bank digital currency (CBDC) has the potential to revolutionize the way that we think about and use money. As an electronic version of fiat...

Maximizing the benefits of AI in the academic sector: best practices and guidelines

 Maximizing the benefits of AI in the academic sector: best practices and guidelines As the use of artificial intelligence (AI) becomes increasingly prevalent in the academic sector, it is important to consider the potential challenges that it may present and to develop strategies for overcoming them. One approach is to use AI as a tool to augment, rather than replace, human work. By doing so, the negative impacts of AI on the academic sector can be mitigated while still leveraging its capabilities to assist with certain tasks. Incorporating the study of AI into academic curricula is another effective way to address the challenges posed by the technology. By teaching students about the capabilities and limitations of AI, as well as the ethical considerations surrounding its use, we can equip the next generation of academics with the knowledge and skills they need to navigate this rapidly evolving field. To ensure that AI is used in a responsible and transparent manner in the academ...
