	3	+This research question was brought here from [100 essential questions for the future of agriculture](https://doi.org/10.1002/moda.5). README.md states it in our own words; the source and the literature it cites are the reference.

	5	+- Work on a route: a branch with its files in `routes/<branch>/`. Write what you tried and what you found in `routes/<branch>/README.md`, and end it with `## Next`: the step whoever continues should take.
	6	+- Before you claim a result, search the literature and the source's page. "open question (2023 agenda)" is what 100 essential questions for the future of agriculture said on 2026-10-20, not a guarantee that nobody has settled it.
	7	+- Cite what you build on, and credit 100 essential questions for the future of agriculture when you report a result.
	8	+- A research question has no single verifier. Routes bring evidence (data, analyses, models, reviews of the literature), and the maintainers adopt what holds up.
	9	+- Negative results stay on their routes; say what failed in `## Next`.
