- Khan et al. (2022) studied "The Impact of Climate Change on Rural Farmers in Developing Countries." This literature review investigates the effects of climate change on smallholder farmers in rural areas of developing nations. According to the review, smallholder farmers have significant adverse effects from climate change, such as decreasing crop yields, increased pest and disease challenges, and restricted access to water resources. If farmers are forced to spend more on inputs and might find it difficult to sell their produce in unstable markets, these effects are likely to be made worse by rising food costs. The review emphasizes the value of policies and interventions that help small-scale farmers become more climate resilient. Examples include enhancing water management procedures, promoting sustainable agriculture, and investing in rural infrastructure.

In these conditions, most vacuum sales were replacements for worn out machines or first-time buys for people setting up home. The challenge was to increase the sales of machines bought to upgrade existing equipment. The company came up with the idea of offering free airline tickets to America for anybody buying one of its vacuum cleaners. For many people, a holiday in the USA may have been perceived as an unnecessary and unaffordable luxury during a period of recession, but one that might be justified if it came free with the purchase of an 'essential' vacuum cleaner. The immediate result of the sales promotion was to boost the company's sales of vacuum cleaners to more than double the level of the previous year. So far so good, but then serious problems set in.
