If your platoon wishes to research another topic, it must be approved by the commander first.
Many of these topics will overlap somewhat. This is the naure of environmental problems
in general due to the interconnectedness of all of Earth's ecosystems. Just relate/connect the topic
to the other applicable topic as appropriate, but try to stay focused more on your topic, explain
yours only, elaborate on your topic only. When in doubt, contact your commander for direction.
* Be sure to relate how these problems affect sustainable agriculture, nationally and globally.
