The Complete Book on Organic Farming and Production of Organic Compost (2nd Revised Edition)
Organic farming is a technique that entails growing plants and raising animals in a natural environment. To preserve soil fertility and ecological balance while minimising contamination and waste, this method employs biological materials while avoiding synthetic substances. To put it another way, organic farming is a form of farming that involves growing and caring for crops without the use of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides.

In order to establish the fact that Millets really are the future crop of the country, a couple of things must be looked at. This article, therefore, arrives at the answer to the heading by exploring Millets through a number of different headers-
a. Introduction
b. What makes Millets special?
c. Worldwide production & availability
d. Nutritional information
e. Health benefits of using millets
f. The business angle
g. The way forward
By exploring these topics in a somewhat detailed manner, it would be easier to support the fact that Millets truly are the crops of the future.

Presented by Dr. Ray-Yu Yang (AVRDC-The World Vegetable Center) and Mr. S. M. Abdul Mukit, (Lal Teer Seed) at the WorldFish Bangladesh Office on the 29th of August, 2013.
The seminar presented the concept and approach of the new project funded by the CGIAR Research Program on Agriculture for Nutrition and Health, A4NH.
This project intends to build upon the collaboration between AVRDC, CIP and WorldFish in the USAID Feed the Future funded project “Improving incomes, nutrition, and health in Bangladesh through potato, sweet potato, and vegetables” (USAID-Horticulture).
Agribusiness is one of the most challenging businesses today. Agribusiness has held up a large share of business niche. The volume of agribusiness is flourishing day-by-day. The term agribusiness coined first in 1957 by Goldberg and Davis. Agribusiness is not mere a business rather it is an useful tool for ensuring food security throughout the world and all sorts of basic needs as most of the basic requirements are filled up directly or indirectly with agro products. In near future agribusiness will be the central metaphor of business system for not only in our country but also to the whole world.
We may not overlook that Bangladesh is an agrarian country and still we are vastly depended upon agriculture though service sector has been advanced a lot during last few decades. Agriculture plays a pivotal role in our national economy. According to Bangladesh Economic Review (2016), the broad agriculture sector accounts for 15.33% of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and 45.10% of the labor force in Bangladesh.
The smart food triple bottom line – starting with diversifying staplesICRISAT
The Smart Food initiative engages in finding foodsystem solutions that, in unison, are good for consumers (nutritious and healthy), the planet (environmentally sustainable) and the producers, especially smallholder famers. This is the Smart Food triple bottom line. A key objective of Smart Food is to diversify staples. By focussing on staples across Africa and Asia, which typically comprise 70 percent of the plate and are often eaten three times a day, we can make a big impact.
Food Processing Industry - Fruits, Vegetables and Food Processing Ajjay Kumar Gupta
Food Processing Industry - Fruits, Vegetables and Food Processing (Canned Rice, Rice Cakes, Egg, Rice Flour, Butter and Margarine, Carrot, Potato Cubes, Mango Pulp, Vegetables and Fruits, Biscuits, Potato Flour, Green Chillis, Corn Sugars, Alcohol from Corn, Barley, Oats, Rye, Breakfast Cereals)
Food processing is the transformation of raw ingredients into food, or of food into other forms. Food processing typically takes clean, harvested crops or butchered animal products and uses these to produce attractive, marketable and often long shelf-life food products. Benefits of food processing include toxin removal, preservation, easing marketing and distribution tasks, and increasing food consistency.

Usability session @ SEI Universidade do MinhoRuben Goncalves
Usability: n. The degree to which an object, device, software application, etc. is easy to use with no specific training.
In this session we'll start by understanding what is usability and what are the risks (and costs) of creating non-usable apps. Then we'll focus into understand a bit of the science behind usability and how we can use it efficiently.
This session was created for the SEI 2016 of Minho University.
Mobile device integration is hard. But not anymore. In this session you'll be able to see how you can easily use device capabilities and integrate with Beacons and Geofence. This presentation consisted in a live demo, which will be shared later on, and on a small video, to be shared as well later.

Carbohydrates: Valuable energy source with lower glycemic index compared to grains like rice and wheat helping in better blood sugar control.
Proteins: Millets are relatively rich in protein, particularly when compared to rice and wheat. They provide essential amino acids, making them a valuable protein source.
Dietary Fiber: Millets are packed with dietary fiber, both soluble and insoluble aiding in digestion and supports overall gastrointestinal health.
Fats: Millets contain healthy fats, including essential fatty acids such as linoleic acid and alpha-linolenic acid. These fats play a role in various bodily functions, including cell membrane structure and inflammation regulation.

Observation of Io’s Resurfacing via Plume Deposition Using Ground-based Adapt...Sérgio Sacani
Since volcanic activity was first discovered on Io from Voyager images in 1979, changes
on Io’s surface have been monitored from both spacecraft and ground-based telescopes.
Here, we present the highest spatial resolution images of Io ever obtained from a groundbased telescope. These images, acquired by the SHARK-VIS instrument on the Large
Binocular Telescope, show evidence of a major resurfacing event on Io’s trailing hemisphere. When compared to the most recent spacecraft images, the SHARK-VIS images
show that a plume deposit from a powerful eruption at Pillan Patera has covered part
of the long-lived Pele plume deposit. Although this type of resurfacing event may be common on Io, few have been detected due to the rarity of spacecraft visits and the previously low spatial resolution available from Earth-based telescopes. The SHARK-VIS instrument ushers in a new era of high resolution imaging of Io’s surface using adaptive
optics at visible wavelengths.

From the Editors Desk
Dear All
I am very happy to bring to you the first issue of newsletter of Benevole Welfare
Society for Post Harvest Technology. This society has been formed with a view to aid
efforts of public sector institutions with private sector partnership and to make post
harvest management as a national movement. The food is needed for survival of life of
every living being on the earth and among them the human beings have the
responsibility to behave responsibly to save this natural wealth for survival of the planet.
The post harvest losses in fact are the wastage not only of fruits, vegetables or grains
but also of our valuable inputs, our labor to grow food and inputs from mother nature,
and hence reduction in losses will be the key to reduce the pressure on the nature and
preserve our environment.
India is a nature’s gifted country producing almost all crops and fruits available in
the world. Due to favorable weather condition compared to Americas and Eueope; India
can take up to three crops compared to one crop in snow covered countries. The FAO
statistics shows that India grows more than 20% fruits and vegetables and food grains
from its land to feed 15% of human population and 17% animal population. In spite of
this what makes our situation of non-availability of food for all is the total neglect of
post harvest management of these precious commodities.
Friends, we need to make post harvest management a national movement and for
that everybody will have to contribute in reducing the post harvest losses and increase
consumption of processed foods produced locally. Even though we produce more than
2. required fruits, its low consumption makes the situation worse. The F&V are highly
perishable and hence their consumption and processing in production catchment need to
be increased. The consumption of at least one seasonal fruit per day by each citizen and
increased consumption of low end processed products like fruit preserves and
dehydrated vegetables will help to save approximately 10% post harvest losses without
much investment in post harvest infrastructrure. Once this trend picks up, the support of
post harvest infrastructure for proper handling and storage will not stop us from being
food basket for the world. Similar is the situation in case of durable crops like food
grains. The traditional grain storage and processing is not in position to handle the
growing and record harvests of grain. Introduction of modern grain processing,
introduction of packaged flours and groceries and acceptance of these products by rising
Indian upper middle class have provided incentives to processors and also growers to
handle these commodities also safely and scientifically.
However, to achieve tangible results in this sector it is essential to accelerate the R
& D efforts in each state as crops grown in each region due to their distinct properties
and regional variations in environments need specific recommendations to achieve
proper post harvest preservation. We here about huge post harvest losses annually to the
tune of Rs 45000 to 90000 crores per year. However when we look into the institutions
working in this sector and amount of money spent for R&D, education and development
it comes hardly to the tune of 500 crores per year. That shows the gap between the
efforts we make and results we wish to see on the ground. Hence my appeal to all state
governments is to take this sector very seriously for produce of their own state and
modernize its handling processing and distribution to reduce losses. I am sure the losses
saved will compensate more than the funds spent to develop infrastructure in public and
private sector for this cause.
With this back ground I will be bringing out issue of this electronic newsletter
every two months so that awareness and involvement of all stakeholders be increased to
reduce post harvest losses and make available healthy food affordable to all.
In this issue I tried to showcase the post harvest institutions working in India and
overseas which shows that compared to efforts in production sector the post harvest
sector is almost negligible and whatever progress has been made so far was more of
demand driven rather than on sound scientific footing.
I welcome the comments and suggestions from all so that I can make this
publication more effective to serve the cause for which this society and newsletter
stands for.
Wishing you all a very happy and prosperous new year
(R. T. Patil)

India possess diverse livestock resources including meat
animals. Indian meat sector contributes significantly to
sustain livestock production. India produces about 68 lakh
tonnes of meat utilizing about 10 crore meat animals such
as cattle, buffaloes, sheep, goat and pigs and 21 crores
poultry. Meat group contributed 17 percent at Rs. 40399
crores to the value of output from livestock sector during
2007-08. Meat exports accounts for 77% of total animal products exports.
However, India with 16% of worlds livestock population produces only 2.2 % of
world meat production and average meat consumption as low as 5kg per annum.
There is considerable demand for meat products from the growing income
elastic urban population, but remained constricted due to lack of adequate
processing facilities. Lack of education, training and attention towards sanitary
and phyto-sanitary measures risking the spread of diseases due to
microorganisms and accumulation of chemical residues in the products affect
quality and safety of meat and meat products intended for public consumption
.Incidence of meat adulteration, under utilization/ improper disposal of
slaughterhouse by-products further affects the image of meat sector. This calls
for technological support and the crucial adoption of technologies through
participatory approach of farmers, meat processors and scientists to usher in
livestock revolution in the country. With this challenging backdrop, Indian
Council of Agricultural Research has visualized the need for establishing an
exclusive research centre on meat .
