This document discusses various topics related to conservation of natural resources in India, including deforestation, afforestation programs, dams and their negative effects, mineral resources, controversies around hydropower, pollution control measures, developing greenery, preservation of water resources, global food problems, issues with fertilizers and pesticides, energy resources and saving tips, land degradation, soil erosion prevention methods like mulching, composting, and crop rotation, as well as natural disasters around the world. It stresses the importance of protecting natural resources for future generations rather than wasting them.

The 8000 hectare Bimblebox Nature Refuge is threatened by a massive new coal development proposed by Waratah Coal. In late September 2011 the company released its Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) for its ‘China First’ mine (otherwise known as the ‘Galilee Coal Project’). It outlines a proposal to extract 40 mega-tonnes of coal per year, which would be transported on a yet-to-be-built 468km rail line up to Abbot Point and shipped through the Great Barrier Reef on its way to China where it will be burnt for energy generation. Their ambitious and polluting plans have not yet received formal government approval.

Sustainable Food Production

Dr. Salem Baidas

January 2024. Sustainable Food Production is a modern method of food production using processes that are non-polluting, resource efficient, and economically viable. It includes farming crops and animals: Livestock, poultry, and seafood. By 2050, the world population is expected to reach 9.1 billion, requiring a 70% increase in food production, and reliance on sustainable food production to meet demand and mitigate the environmental impacts associated with conventional food production methods. Sustainable food production strategies: (1) Use resources efficiently: reduce fossil fuel consumption, optimize water and land use, and minimize waste (2) Protect resource quality: reduce fertilizer and pesticide use to avoid soil and water pollution, reduce emissions, and reverse soil degradation (3) Protect marine resources: implement sustainable fishing practices to restore fish stocks and biodiversity, and reduce pollution of coastal areas (4) Optimize packaging efficiency: reduce packaging, and use biodegradable and recycled materials (5) Reduce food waste: reformulate products to extend shelf life and reduce spoilage (6) Recycle food waste: use food waste for composting, animal feed, and biofuel production. Sustainable food production benefits: (1) Economic benefits: saves on energy and resource costs, and generates revenue from animal feed and biofuel production (2) Social benefits: encourages social responsibility by ensuring ethical treatment of animals and fair labor standards (3) Environmental benefits: minimizes negative environmental impact such as water pollution, emissions, and soil degradation. Sustainable food production business growth drivers include government incentives, tax credits, revenue increase, capacity building, climate change mitigation, and efficiency increase. Sustainable food production business growth challenges (barriers) include high implementation costs, lack of trained professionals, and lack of sustainability standards. Policy wise, in 2014, during the Second International Conference on Nutrition (ICN2), the Rome Declaration on nutrition was adopted to improve sustainable food production systems by implementing policies to ensure access to food that meets standard nutritional needs, directly supporting Sustainable Development Goal SDG2: End hunger, achieve food security, improve nutrition, and promote sustainable agriculture. In this slideshow, you will learn about the definition, strategies, benefits, business growth drivers and challenges, UN policy, and global statistics of sustainable food production.

Significance of agronomic biofortification with zinc in maize.pptx

rangaswamyranga8341

Fortification is a cost-effective and sustainable approach, which is highly effective and has large coverage, especially in the poorer regions of the world. Fortification with the help of fertilizers would be a very rapid and practical approach to maximize mineral uptake and grain mineral accumulation in food crops immediately. Most of the Indian soils are deficient in micro, macronutrients, and organic matter, by following the fortification approach we can reduce Nutrient deficiency in soils. Organic matter is the best source for the enrichment of micronutrients, and biofertilizers and also releases nutrients slowly into soil for a long period during crop growth. About 75% of exogenous applications of Zn sources like ZnSO4 get fixed in the soil. Fixation of Zn in soils with pH > 7.0 increases with increasing concentration of carbonates, thus becoming unavailable and can be reverted to available form with Zn solubilizing bacteria through the production of organic acids viz., gluconic acid which is designated as a strong acid among the mono carboxylic group of acid and are found to be easily biodegradable. Gluconic acid has the major anion which may be an important agent that helps in the solubilization of insoluble Zn compounds and makes it available to plant roots.

Adding Fruit in our Diet: The Only Solution to Hidden Hunger

Reetika Sharma

In present times forty four nations have "severe" or "alarming" levels of hunger. The fight against hunger has mostly stagnated internationally in recent years. The cumulated effect of war, climate change, economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic and the crisis in Ukraine, have driven up the price of food, gasoline and fertilizer around the world. According to the Global Hunger Index 2022, India is ranked at 107 out of 121 nations and is classified as "severe" with a score of 29.1. At 19.3%, India has the highest child wasting rate in the world, which is worse than the levels seen in 2014 (15.1%) and because of India's large population, this rate raises the average for the region. Insufficient dietary intake and absorption of vitamins and minerals (such as zinc, iodine, folate, vitamin A, vitamin B12, and vitamin D, among others) hinders the growth and development of an individual. Thus, increasing the problem of hidden hunger, a type of undernutrition. Micronutrient deficiencies are caused by a poor diet, increased micronutrient requirements during particular life phases, such as pregnancy and lactation and health issues like illnesses and infections or parasites. According to the Food and Agriculture Report, 2018, India is home to 195.9 million of the 821 million malnourished people worldwide and has a 14.8% prevalence of undernutrition, which is greater than the average for Asia and the rest of the world. According to the National Health Survey, about 19 crore individuals in the country were estimated to be forced to sleep on an empty stomach every night in 2017.
