In 2040, I would love to see a future where sustainability is a top priority. Imagine a world where renewable energy sources like solar and wind power are the norm, where recycling and reducing waste are ingrained in everyday life, and where eco-friendly practices are widespread. I envision cities with green spaces, clean air, and efficient public transportation systems. People would be more conscious of their environmental impact, leading to a healthier planet for future generations. It would be amazing to see innovations in technology that promote sustainability and protect our environment.

The year is 2050. The world has changed beyond recognition - climate change has transformed agriculture and traditional methods of animal husbandry and fish farming have been replaced by high-tech, sustainable solutions. In a small but progressive town in Bulgaria, a young entrepreneur named Ivan runs his innovative beef farm. He was among the first to combine traditional meat preservation in jars with the latest eco-friendly practices. The animals are raised in a completely controlled environment where every drop of water is used as efficiently as possible, and their food comes from organic farms that operate on a closed-loop system. But the biggest change came when Ivan decided to integrate his production with a sturgeon farm. Thanks to new technologies, the water used for the fish is purified and used to irrigate the grass pastures that feed the livestock. This not only reduces costs but also eliminates harmful emissions. Its products - jars of high-quality beef seasoned with natural herbs - are becoming a hit across Europe. Thanks to blockchain systems, every customer can trace the origin of the meat and be sure it is produced sustainably. Once a month, Ivan organises virtual farm tours where people from all over the world can see what the future of the food industry looks like - waste-free, nature-conscious and high quality. And as the world changes, Ivan proves that tradition and innovation can go hand in hand.

Finally, in 2040, Europe was able to organize itself into a federation. The weight of the new European army enabled Ukraine to regain its independence. This failure was a setback for Putin, who finally lost his job, and for Orban and Fixo, who are tipping Europe into total democracy. America is gradually recovering from Trumpism.

I do not think we can improve the ecological situation. Many living things (flora and fauna) will permanently die out and will not leave the face of the Earth. Where there were rivers, lakes...there will be drought, and water could appear in Africa, Australia, Antarctica will be reduced by barely 50% and ice will melt. The rains are too hot, the winters are colder and there is too much climatic change. Robots and machinery are reaching various places. People are more important, technology is the most important. There are fewer ties and fewer friends and lovers. There is less meat and meat products.
