Consumer behavior towards Organic food | a study of Bangladesh MarketNishat Sanjida
Basically to know the reason of decrement in sales for organic food products in Bangladesh and To recommend necessary strategies that can be implemented to positively affect a consumer’s buying behavior towards organic food.
In the last decades the uncontrolled impact of industrial activities on the natural
environment has created critical ecological concerns. The aggravation of phenomena like
climate change, ozone depletion, over exploitation of natural resources, air pollution, and
toxic wastes are harming the sustainable development of the planet and of the economic
system. For marketers, environmentalism has become a criterion influencing customer
purchase behaviour. Environmentally responsible consumption Follows & Jobber (2000)
emanated from criticism that the marketing concept ignored the impact of individual
consumption upon the society as a whole. Terms like green marketing and green
customer have evolved and a lot of work is being done to understand the awareness levels
of the customer, their attitudes towards the green products and their willingness to accept
and pay a premium for the green products.
Every year people living on the earth throw away enough garbage to cover a huge part of
the world. Most of the waste ends up in landfills which are very costly and which may
have a major impact on the environment and on the health of the people living on this
planet. Saving the environment has become a big issue in recent times. The messages are
being promoted as REDUCE, RE-USE and RECYCLE. The latest is that we can shop our
way to a healthier planet. Over the years, it is told to us that cool cars would make us free
and diet soda would make us popular. But there is some things money and advertising
can’t buy, and a clean environment is one of them. The hard fact is that global warming,
deforestation and other earthly ills cannot be solved by switching brands. It takes
resources to manufacture and transport all products, even those made from recycled
content. More often, it is greener to follow the old dictum: reduce, reuse, and recycle.
Even if the phrase 3Rs has been heard a thousand times before, but with the "green" word
now co-opted in the sales of services, the three R's are a phrase and a principle worth
reviving.
This study focuses on consumers and consumer behaviour in relation to environmental
friendly products. It starts from the assumption that environmental problems are closely
related to individual consumer behaviour, and that individual behaviour is one of the
major causes for the existing environmental problems. Without substantial changes, in
the long term these consumption practices present a serious threat to the environment and
to society as a whole.

Organic Crop Production through Contract Farming In Indiaiosrjce
In recent years consumers’ concerns regarding food safety have led to an increase in demand for org
anic products. The Global market for organic products has been growing steadily not only in Europe and North
America but in Asian countries such as Japan and it is estimated that it will continue to be fastest growing secto
r in agriculture. Not surprisingly organic food production has increased all over the globe with much of the incr
ease occurring in the developing countries where farmers are being attracted by export benefits and substantial
price premiums. In India efforts are being made for organic crop production through contract farming. Experie
nces have shown that farmers are benefited from technical guidance, supply of quality farm inputs and assured
purchases at remunerative price. Organic farming through contract basis would bring about favorable changes
in the present conventional agriculture to make it sustainable and commercial and consumers would also get ce
rtified organic products at reasonable price. This paper will highlight the present situation and future strategies
of organic crop production through contract farming in India.
A very concise article overview the growth and how to make whole world organic in fast forward mode with the policy, research,market and consumers support and high efforts in potential areas.

The Impact of Digital Media on the Decentralization of Power and the Erosion ...ijtsrd
The impact of digital media on the distribution of power and the weakening of traditional gatekeepers has gained considerable attention in recent years. The adoption of digital technologies and the internet has resulted in declining influence and power for traditional gatekeepers such as publishing houses and news organizations. Simultaneously, digital media has facilitated the emergence of new voices and players in the media industry. Digital medias impact on power decentralization and gatekeeper erosion is visible in several ways. One significant aspect is the democratization of information, which enables anyone with an internet connection to publish and share content globally, leading to citizen journalism and bypassing traditional gatekeepers. Another aspect is the disruption of conventional media industry business models, as traditional organizations struggle to adjust to the decrease in advertising revenue and the rise of digital platforms. Alternative business models, such as subscription models and crowdfunding, have become more prevalent, leading to the emergence of new players. Overall, the impact of digital media on the distribution of power and the weakening of traditional gatekeepers has brought about significant changes in the media landscape and the way information is shared. Further research is required to fully comprehend the implications of these changes and their impact on society.

The Impact of Educational Background and Professional Training on Human Right...ijtsrd
This study investigated the impact of educational background and professional training on human rights awareness among secondary school teachers in the Marathwada region of Maharashtra, India. The key findings reveal that higher levels of education, particularly a master’s degree, and fields of study related to education, humanities, or social sciences are associated with greater human rights awareness among teachers. Additionally, both pre service teacher training and in service professional development programs focused on human rights education significantly enhance teacher’s knowledge, skills, and competencies in promoting human rights principles in their classrooms.

“One Language sets you in a corridor for life. Two languages open every door along the way” Frank Smith English as a foreign language or as a second language has been ruling in India since the period of Lord Macaulay. But the question is how much we teach or learn English properly in our culture. Is there any scope to use English as a language rather than a subject How much we learn or teach English without any interference of mother language specially in the classroom teaching learning scenario in West Bengal By considering all these issues the researcher has attempted in this article to focus on the effective teaching learning process comparing to other traditional strategies in the field of English curriculum at the secondary level to investigate whether they fulfill the present teaching learning requirements or not by examining the validity of the present curriculum of English. The purpose of this study is to focus on the effectiveness of the systematic, scientific, sequential and logical transaction of the course between the teachers and the learners in the perspective of the 5Es programme that is engage, explore, explain, extend and evaluate.

The Role of Mentoring and Its Influence on the Effectiveness of the Teaching ...ijtsrd
This paper reports on a study which was conducted to investigate the role of mentoring and its influence on the effectiveness of the teaching of Physics in secondary schools in the South West Region of Cameroon. The study adopted the convergent parallel mixed methods design, focusing on respondents in secondary schools in the South West Region of Cameroon. Both quantitative and qualitative data were collected, analysed separately, and the results were compared to see if the findings confirm or disconfirm each other. The quantitative analysis found that majority of the respondents 72 of Physics teachers affirmed that they had more experienced colleagues as mentors to help build their confidence, improve their teaching, and help them improve their effectiveness and efficiency in guiding learners’ achievements. Only 28 of the respondents disagreed with these statements. With majority respondents 72 agreeing with the statements, it implies that in most secondary schools, experienced Physics teachers act as mentors to build teachers’ confidence in teaching and improving students’ learning. The interview qualitative data analysis summarized how secondary school Principals use meetings with mentors and mentees to promote mentorship in the school milieu.

Design Simulation and Hardware Construction of an Arduino Microcontroller Bas...ijtsrd
This study primarily focuses on the design of a high side buck converter using an Arduino microcontroller. The converter is specifically intended for use in DC DC applications, particularly in standalone solar PV systems where the PV output voltage exceeds the load or battery voltage. To evaluate the performance of the converter, simulation experiments are conducted using Proteus Software. These simulations provide insights into the input and output voltages, currents, powers, and efficiency under different state of charge SoC conditions of a 12V,70Ah rechargeable lead acid battery. Additionally, the hardware design of the converter is implemented, and practical data is collected through operation, monitoring, and recording. By comparing the simulation results with the practical results, the efficiency and performance of the designed converter are assessed. The findings indicate that while the buck converter is suitable for practical use in standalone PV systems, its efficiency is compromised due to a lower output current.

Sustainable Energy by Paul A. Adekunte | Matthew N. O. Sadiku | Janet O. Sadikuijtsrd
Energy becomes sustainable if it meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Some of the definitions of sustainable energy include the considerations of environmental aspects such as greenhouse gas emissions, social, and economic aspects such as energy poverty. Generally far more sustainable than fossil fuel are renewable energy sources such as wind, hydroelectric power, solar, and geothermal energy sources. Worthy of note is that some renewable energy projects, like the clearing of forests to produce biofuels, can cause severe environmental damage. The sustainability of nuclear power which is a low carbon source is highly debated because of concerns about radioactive waste, nuclear proliferation, and accidents. The switching from coal to natural gas has environmental benefits, including a lower climate impact, but could lead to delay in switching to more sustainable options. “Carbon capture and storage” can be built into power plants to remove the carbon dioxide CO2 emissions, but this technology is expensive and has rarely been implemented. Leading non renewable energy sources around the world is fossil fuels, coal, petroleum, and natural gas. Nuclear energy is usually considered another non renewable energy source, although nuclear energy itself is a renewable energy source, but the material used in nuclear power plants is not. The paper addresses the issue of sustainable energy, its attendant benefits to the future generation, and humanity in general. Paul A. Adekunte | Matthew N. O. Sadiku | Janet O.

Concepts for Sudan Survey Act Implementations Executive Regulations and Stand...ijtsrd
This paper aims to outline the executive regulations, survey standards, and specifications required for the implementation of the Sudan Survey Act, and for regulating and organizing all surveying work activities in Sudan. The act has been discussed for more than 5 years. The Land Survey Act was initiated by the Sudan Survey Authority and all official legislations were headed by the Sudan Ministry of Justice till it was issued in 2022. The paper presents conceptual guidelines to be used for the Survey Act implementation and to regulate the survey work practice, standardizing the field surveys, processing, quality control, procedures, and the processes related to survey work carried out by the stakeholders and relevant authorities in Sudan. The conceptual guidelines are meant to improve the quality and harmonization of geospatial data and to aid decision making processes as well as geospatial information systems. The established comprehensive executive regulations will govern and regulate the implementation of the Sudan Survey Geomatics Act in all surveying and mapping practices undertaken by the Sudan Survey Authority SSA and state local survey departments for public or private sector organizations. The targeted standards and specifications include the reference frame, projection, coordinate systems, and the guidelines and specifications that must be followed in the field of survey work, processes, and mapping products. In the last few decades, there has been a growing awareness of the importance of geomatics activities and measurements on the Earths surface in space and time, together with observing and mapping the changes. In such cases, data must be captured promptly, standardized, and obtained with more accuracy and specified in much detail. The paper will also highlight the current situation in Sudan, the degree to which survey standards are used, the problems encountered, and the errors that arise from not using the standards and survey specifications.

Towards the Implementation of the Sudan Interpolated Geoid Model Khartoum Sta...ijtsrd
The discussions between ellipsoid and geoid have invoked many researchers during the recent decades, especially during the GNSS technology era, which had witnessed a great deal of development but still geoid undulation requires more investigations. To figure out a solution for Sudans local geoid, this research has tried to intake the possibility of determining the geoid model by following two approaches, gravimetric and geometrical geoid model determination, by making use of GNSS leveling benchmarks at Khartoum state. The Benchmarks are well distributed in the study area, in which, the horizontal coordinates and the height above the ellipsoid have been observed by GNSS while orthometric heights were carried out using precise leveling. The Global Geopotential Model GGM represented in EGM2008 has been exploited to figure out the geoid undulation at the benchmarks in the study area. This is followed by a fitting process, that has been done to suit the geoid undulation data which has been computed using GNSS leveling data and geoid undulation inspired by the EGM2008. Two geoid surfaces were created after the fitting process to ensure that they are identical and both of them could be counted for getting the same geoid undulation with an acceptable accuracy. In this respect, statistical operation played an important role in ensuring the consistency and integrity of the model by applying cross validation techniques splitting the data into training and testing datasets for building the geoid model and testing its eligibility. The geometrical solution for geoid undulation computation has been utilized by applying straightforward equations that facilitate the calculation of the geoid undulation directly through applying statistical techniques for the GNSS leveling data of the study area to get the common equation parameters values that could be utilized to calculate geoid undulation of any position in the study area within the claimed accuracy. Both systems were checked and proved eligible to be used within the study area with acceptable accuracy which may contribute to solving the geoid undulation problem in the Khartoum area, and be further generalized to determine the geoid model over the entire country, and this could be considered in the future, for regional and continental geoid model.

most of the chlorinated pesticides square measure
non-biodegradable and leave residues, that square
measure damaging to masses, animals and also the
setting. Residue studies in Asian country have
additionally discovered wide unfold contamination of
the food merchandise and also the setting as a full.
The presence of residues of insect powder in food
commodities and alternative parts of the setting could
be a matter of great concern. Even tiny quantities of
the residues eaten daily at the side of food will build
up to high level in body fat (Dhaliwal and Singh,
1993). There’s so, a relentless worry that society is
being slowly poisoned by the intake of food
contamination with chemical residue.
whereas each the fertilizer and also the chemical
usage has result in enlarged crop production and
bigger economic come to the farmers, their impact on
soil and water setting and crop quality wasn't thought
of relevant till the last 10 years. There’s currently
increasing proof show that indiscriminate use of
agrochemical will have adverse result on soil setting
(Naidu et al, 1996).
Keeping the risky effects of inorganic fertilizers and
also the agro-chemicals on setting similarly as on the
person, therefore, it's associate degree pressing would
like for the developing country like India to shift the
organic agriculture from the present inorganic
agriculture as most of the cultivable soils in India
contain organic carbon below the brink level and
majority of the farming community is resource poor
and get of fertilizers and chemicals in adequate
quantities is on the far side their capability.
Agriculture is far and away the foremost vital
occupation of the individuals of this region. The
foremost of the farmers of this region square measure
typically tiny and marginal in nature and square
measure economically not sound and so, they can't
afford to shop for the adequate quantity of fertilizers
and chemicals necessary for the crop production.
Organic Agriculture can be a production system that
avoids or for the foremost half excludes the use of
chemical fertilizers, pesticides and growth regulators.
The foremost aim of organic agriculture is to
substantiate sustained productivity, environmental
protection and making on the market food and food
merchandise raised with none reasonably chemicals.
Agriculture is primarily applied biology and is
probably to attain success once it accepts and follows
principles like
(a) On farm waste exercise,
(b) Non-chemical weed management,
(c) Biological tormenter management,
(d) Integrated nutrient management for sustaining
soil fertility and crop productivity.
With increasing health consciousness and concern for
setting, organic farming system has been drawing
attention all over the world. Organic farming will be a
holistic production management system that promotes
and enhances agro-ecosystems health additional as
bio-diversity, biological cycles and soil biological
activities. As a result, there is widespread organic
movement and enormous demands for organic
merchandise.
OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
1. To study consumer awareness about organic food
products.
2. To study attitude of consumers buying and using
of organic products.
3. To analysis the factors influencing to buy organic
products among the consumers.
4. To identify the level of satisfaction of consumers
towards organic products among the consumers.
5. To identify the problem faced by the organic
consumer.
6. To study and suggest measures on how the
consumption of organic food can be spread wider.
SCOPE OF THE STUDY
Organic food promotes a balance of human, other
living organisms and the nature. It also promotes no
artificial preservatives and best maintain the
originality of food. This prevents excess use harmful
ingredients and thereby ensures health. This study
attempted to gain knowledge about consumer
awareness towards organic food consumption and to
see whether there is any potential this might have for
changing their behavior. The rationale for carrying out
this study is that consideration for the environment
could come only from well-informed citizens who are
aware of, and fully committed to their rights to a
quality health and environment. Therefore consumer’s
awareness and satisfaction towards organic food will
be the main aim of this study.

REVIEW OF LITERATURE
“A study on consumers’ awareness towards
organic food products with special reference to
Tirupur district (Dr. D. T. Venkatakrishnan2017)”
In today’s world organic food product was important
for the people at large to steer a healthy life. Became a
basic necessity in human life. During this paper, a
shot has been created to search out the shopper’s
awareness towards organic food. A sample of a
hundred respondents‟ was purposively elect from
Tirupur District. The chosen samples area unit
analyzed exploitation easy share, chi-square test and
multivariate analysis test. It’s found that 3variables
particularly there exists any vital association between
gender, age, qualification, monthly financial gain and
client awareness towards organic food product of the
respondent.
.”Consumer Attitude and Purchase intension
towards Organic Food (IrinSutha& Solomon T,
2016)” the event of Organic food remains babe stage
in India. it's necessary to understand regarding the
patron perspective towards Organic food, supported
shopper perspective model factors like shopper
information, Environmental concern, personal norms,
subjective norm and shopper purchase import square
measure measured which permit America to seek out
the patron perspective and get import on Organic
food. customers disagree from one another; they have
totally different concepts, taste, perception, likes and
dislikes, perspective in easy term it's thought oriented
, if shopper has positive thought on organic food it
will produce the acquisition import.
”Factors influence purchase of organic products in
Nilgiri district (Mr. Sathis Kumar and Dr. E.
Muthukumar, 2016)”.It is known those customers in
Nilgiri district gave additional importance to factors
like health, environmental safety, information and
culture wherever organic food was involved.
However, they were indifferent towards attributes of
organic food like style, color of the food etc.
”The factors influencing organic food
consumptions in China market
(J. Thorgosen et al., 2015)”.The paper according on
the findings of the study into shopper perception
toward beef and therefore the influence of those
perceptions on consumption. The influence of
attitudes and vital others (subjective norms) on
intention to shopper were explored. The findings
discovered that each perspective and therefore the
subjective norm influenced intention to consume,
however it absolutely was perspective that was found
to be of bigger importance.

The term organic is rooted in bio from Greek bios
meaning life or way of living. Organic food products
was first coined in the 1940s and refers to food raised,
grown and stored or processed without the use of

farming. Lampkin et al. (1999) thinks the
term ̳organic ‘is best thought of as referring not to the
type of inputs used, but to the concept of the farm as
an organism, in which all the components —the soil,
minerals, organic matter, Microorganisms, insects,
plants, animals and humans —interact to create a
coherent, self-regulating and stable whole. Reliance
on external inputs, whether chemical or organic, is
reduced as far as possible.
Organic Farming is a certifiable farm management
system with controls and traceability that is in
harmony with the local environment using land
husbandry techniques such as soil-Conservation
measures, crop rotation and the application of
agronomic, biological and manual methods instead of

ORGANIC FOOD
Organic food is food produced by methods that
comply with the standards of organic farming.
Standards vary worldwide, but organic farming in
general features practices that strive to cycle
resources, promote ecological balance, and conserve
biodiversity. Organizations regulating organic
products may restrict the use of certain pesticides and
fertilizers in farming. In general, organic foods are
also usually not processed using irradiation, industrial
solvents or synthetic food additives.
ORGANIC CERTIFICATION
It is a certification process for producers of organic
food and other organic Agricultural products. In
general, any business directly involved in food
production can be certified, including seed suppliers,
farmers, food processors, retailers and Restaurants.
Requirements vary from country to country, and
generally involve a set of production standards for
growing, storage, processing, packaging and shippin
that include:
o avoidance of synthetic chemical inputs (e.g.
fertilizer, pesticides, antibiotics, food additives,
etc) and genetically modified organisms;
o use of farmland that has been free from chemicals
for a number of years (often, three or more);
o keeping detailed written production and sales
records (audit trail);
o maintaining strict physical separation of organic
products from non-certified products;
o undergoing periodic on-site inspections. In some
countries, certification is overseen by the
government, and commercial use of the term
organic is legally restricted. Certified organic

SUGGESTIONS
1. Awareness and training program to farmer:
Because more number of farmers is not growing
without use of chemicals. Because farmer are go
only production of high yield commercial crops so
he will use more chemical fertilizer and pesticides.
But some majority of farmer success in organic
farming.
2. Government support: Government is all so support
to grow of organic farming and all so farmer
through good organic product market facilities,
financial support and so on
3. Infrastructure facilities: Give to sport to post-
harvesting facilities for organic forming. Because
possible to decline in yield during the conversion
period, there is need to provide some form of
incentives to affected farmer.
4. Package of product: Provide a good packing
facilities to specific product
5. Development of marketing: There is all very
important is to develop more marketing area.
Because there is no regulated market facility in
organic product.
6. Regulated market is all so give separate price
facility and market facility in yard only. Because
more number of consumer prefer organic product.
But there no farmer, so it stimulate the farmer to
grow the organic products
7. Give free certification facilities: The increase
frequency of viewing the advertisement of organic
food products and better taste would influence the
purchase organic food products. The influence of
advertisement of organic food products with an
increase in education found particularly among
consumer
CONCLUSION
Majority consumers were awake to organic food,
its edges and issues related to conventional food.
However, this awareness was comparatively a lot
of among educated respondents. But still
majority purchase conventional food and not
organic frequently as a result
of some outstanding reasons like –
1. High value of products
2. Lack of data connected from wherever to shop for.
3. Lack of straight forward likewise as
regular accessibility
4. Risk of obtaining cheated
Therefore provide facet factors are capable for lack of
Demand for organic food. Effective selling structure
and necessary support from the governmental
agencies for Organic food is needed. It also can be

done through NGOs and alternative Government
agencies since it's safer and healthier food beside
personal sector participation. Improvement in provide
chain management and production coming up with
can solve the problems like irregular provide,
restricted stocks. It’s the time for government to
require effective policy call in association with

provide and market organic products.
