Establishing in the PREAMBLE the principles that apply in the resolution:
Whereas Article 25, section 1 of the UNIVERSAL DECLARATION OF HUMAN RIGHTS states, “Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of himself and his family, including food, clothing, housing, and medical care, and necessary social services, and the right to security in the event of unemployment, sickness, disability, widowhood, old age, or other lack of livelihood in circumstances beyond his control.”, and

1. Requesting that a program will be set up to educate all farmers in modern agriculture techniques and how they help to the environment. This program will be called the Farmers Helping the Forest and Agriculture also known as (F.H.F.A).
2. This program will prevent farmers from destroying all trees and rainforest to help lower the chances of deforestation at present rate.
3. Also, a replanting and reintroduction program is needed to increase the species of animals and plants that are facing extinction.

5. Within five years, the UN can evaluate the effectiveness of the F.H.F.A program. We believe the F.H.F.A program will act as a model for other countries with the same problems, such as Brazil which has the largest rainforest. 10-12 programs will be set up worldwide to solve that problem.
