Plants are permanently impacted by their environments, and their abilities to tolerate multiple fluctuating environmental conditions vary as a function of several genetic and natural factors. Over the past decades, scientific innovations and applications of the knowledge derived from biotechnological investigations to agriculture caused a substantial increase of the yields of many crops. However, due to exacerbating effects of climate change and a growing human population, a crisis of malnutrition may arise in the upcoming decades in some places in the world. So, effective, ethical and managerial regulations and fair policies should be set up and applied at the local and global levels so that Earth may fairly provide the food and living accommodation needed by its inhabitants. To save some energy consumption, electric devices (for e.g., smartphones, laptops, street lights, traffic lights, etc.) should be manufactured to work with solar energy, whenever available, particularly in sunny countries where sun is available most of the time. Such characteristic will save energy and make solar energy-based smartphones and laptops less cumbersome in terms of chargers and plugging issues.
植物始终受到其环境的影响，它们耐受多种波动环境条件的能力会因多种遗传和自然因素而有所不同。在过去几十年里，科学创新以及将生物技术研究所得知识应用于农业，使得许多作物的产量大幅提高。然而，由于气候变化的加剧影响以及人口的不断增长，未来几十年世界上某些地方可能会出现营养不良危机。因此，应在地方和全球层面制定并实施有效、符合道德规范和管理要求的法规以及公平政策，以便地球能够公平地为其居民提供所需的食物和居住场所。为了节省一些能源消耗，电子设备（例如智能手机、笔记本电脑、路灯、交通信号灯等）应设计为在有太阳能可用时使用太阳能工作，特别是在大部分时间都有阳光的阳光充足的国家。这样的特性将节省能源，并使基于太阳能的智能手机和笔记本电脑在充电器和插拔问题方面不那么麻烦。
