1. The document discusses the importance of soil microbes in maintaining healthy and productive soil. It states that microbes are more important than soil chemistry, physics, or plant matter alone.
2. A healthy soil ecosystem has a balanced mix of soil basics, plant cover, microbes like fungi and bacteria, earthworms, and other organisms living in synchrony. Microbes break down plant and organic matter, store nutrients, and create stable soil structure.
3. Unhealthy soil practices like tilling and leaving soil bare disrupt this balance by damaging fungi and earthworms. This leads to loss of structure, oxygen, water, and nutrients as the soil ecosystem collapses.

- The Foundations for Farming system is a conservation agriculture approach developed for small-scale African farmers to improve yields and profits using appropriate technology. It focuses on minimal soil disturbance, mulching for moisture retention, and crop rotations.
- Key findings from research and development trials show that organic fertilizers like manure and compost can provide comparable yields to inorganic fertilizers when applied properly. Crop rotations, particularly maize-soybean-maize, have led to high maize yields without fertilizer application.
- Current research is focusing on improving soybean yields on sandy soils through inoculation and developing integrated farm models including livestock and cash crops. Generating income from seed companies and other partners helps fund ongoingLesotho presentation 30th oct 2014
Lesotho faces challenges of hunger, malnutrition, food insecurity and chronic vulnerability to climate shocks like drought and floods. 40% of the population suffers from chronic malnutrition. The document outlines Lesotho's Resilience Strategy, which has a vision of a hunger-free Lesotho where agriculture improves living standards in a sustainable manner. The strategy aims to build resilience through integrated sustainable agriculture, capacity development, and policy support. It involves three programs: 1) an Emergency and Resilience Program targeting 18,500 households, 2) a Climate Smart Agriculture for All program, and 3) a Social Protection through Production and Nutrition program targeting social protection beneficiaries.
Harnessing the synergy between crop and livestock production
This document discusses harnessing synergies between crop and livestock production through conservation agriculture (CA) principles. It notes that crop and livestock production are closely interlinked, with livestock providing draught power, manure, and savings/insurance to crops, while crops provide feed to livestock. Integrating crop and livestock production offers diverse food/income, reduces risk, and allows recycling of resources. However, CA has not deliberately incorporated livestock. The document calls for intensifying both crop and livestock production to make more crop residues available for mulching or feeding livestock, and for focused studies on integrating different livestock in CA systems tailored to farmers' characteristics.
CA and other CSA practices in africa
- Climate change is having significant impacts in Africa such as more frequent droughts and floods, rising sea levels, and warming oceans.
- Africa will be hardest hit by climate change. Climate-smart agriculture (CSA) aims to increase sustainable agricultural productivity and incomes, improve resilience, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
- For CSA to be effective in Africa, practices must be tailored to local agro-ecological systems through trial and error with farmer input, as the impacts of climate change vary regionally. Water management, soil conservation techniques, and diversification of crops are some promising CSA strategies.
Overview of ca in pelum member countries
Conservation agriculture in Southern Africa aims to increase food security through sustainable practices. It has led to increased crop yields of over 30% and improved nutrition for small-scale farmers. Maintaining soil fertility through intercropping and organic fertilization has helped reduce dependency on forests for fuel by 20%. However, issues remain around continued funding, access to farming implements, animal integration challenges, and lack of coordinated extension services in some countries. Contextual analysis and moving farmers up the mechanization ladder while building on indigenous knowledge are lessons learned.
Let's get some bench mark figures by
The document discusses using benchmarking and data communication to establish benchmark figures for no-till conservation agriculture. It addresses measuring the productivity and costs of farm inputs, comparing one's farm to international benchmarks to identify opportunities for improved efficiency and productivity. Benchmarking is presented as a way for farmers to learn from each other's experiences and best practices through study groups.

Conservation agriculture adoption by cotton farmers in eastern zambiaAfrican Conservation Tillage Network
This document summarizes research on the adoption of conservation agriculture (CA) techniques like minimum tillage and mulching by smallholder cotton farmers in eastern Zambia. The researchers surveyed 326 farmers about their land preparation methods for cotton and maize plots. They found that only 5% of plots using the basin method and 13% of ripped plots included legume rotations, and most crop residues were grazed. Statistical modeling showed that adoption of ripping was associated with wealth, oxen ownership, and experience, while basins were used by labor-abundant households. The researchers concluded that basins meet niche needs but large-scale adoption is unlikely, while ripping has more potential if equipment rentals increase and training accompanies expandedRecommended

This meta-analysis examined the effects of conservation agriculture (CA) practices on crop yields in Sub-Saharan Africa based on 42 peer-reviewed studies. It found that yields varied widely but that mulching and crop rotations had the largest positive effects, with mulching yielding increases of up to 378 kg/ha. Short-term yields were variable but long-term yields increased over time as CA improved soil properties. Yields responded best to CA in combination with fertilizer use and on loamy soils. Seasonal rainfall patterns also influenced yields, with larger increases under CA in drier and wetter climates. The analysis concluded that mulching, rotations, and fertilization are needed for effective long-term yield benefits from conservation agricultureNUEPA

Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.

Kinetic studies on malachite green dye adsorption from aqueous solutions by A...Open Access Research Paper
Water polluted by dyestuffs compounds is a global threat to health and the environment; accordingly, we prepared a green novel sorbent chemical and Physical system from an algae, chitosan and chitosan nanoparticle and impregnated with algae with chitosan nanocomposite for the sorption of Malachite green dye from water. The algae with chitosan nanocomposite by a simple method and used as a recyclable and effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. Algae, chitosan, chitosan nanoparticle and algae with chitosan nanocomposite were characterized using different physicochemical methods. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.

The incorporation of a 3DCSM and completion of HRSC provided a tool for enhanced, data-driven, decisions to support a change in remediation closure strategies. Currently, an approved pilot study has been obtained to shut-down the remediation systems (ISCO, P&T) and conduct a hydraulic study under non-pumping conditions. A separate micro-biological bench scale treatability study was competed that yielded positive results for an emerging innovative technology. As a result, a field pilot study has commenced with results expected in nine-twelve months. With the results of the hydraulic study, field pilot studies and an updated risk assessment leading site monitoring optimization cost lifecycle savings upwards of $15MM towards an alternatively evolved best available technology remediation closure strategy.

Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.
