1) Natural resources include substances like land, water, air, plants and animals that are valuable in their natural form. Natural resource management aims to manage these resources in a sustainable way that benefits both current and future generations.
2) There are different approaches to natural resource management depending on who owns and controls the resources, such as private, common, state or non-property regimes.
3) Forests, wildlife, soil and water are some of India's important natural resources. Their conservation involves reducing exploitation, preserving habitats, afforestation programs, and setting up protected areas. Stakeholder participation is key to sustainable natural resource management.
Soil health
Soil health refers to a soil's ability to sustain plant and animal productivity, maintain water and air quality, and support human habitation. A healthy soil is in a state of well-being biologically, chemically, and physically, and is able to perform functions like nutrient cycling without degradation over time. Soil health is context-dependent and can be defined differently based on user priorities and the soil's inherent qualities and geographic situation. Generic aspects of a healthy soil include supporting a diversity of productive uses and life, absorbing and recycling nutrients at a high rate relative to climate limits, and having low levels of contamination and erosion.

Food problems around the world
Food problems around the worldSynthetic Medicinal Chemistry Lab, College of Pharmacy , Pusan National University
Food is essential for survival but many around the world do not have reliable access to enough nutritious food. Hunger exists in degrees from acute to chronic to hidden and is caused by factors like drought, poverty, and unequal access to resources. Around 925 million people do not have enough to eat, with 65% living in just seven highly populated countries. Tree planting is proposed as a solution to prevent further loss of arable land and help increase future food production, though it will take time. Achieving global food security and nutrition will require sustainable and equitable food systems.Impact and effect of climate change on agriculture

The document discusses the impact of the Green Revolution. It began in the 1960s when high-yielding varieties of crops and increased use of fertilizers and irrigation led to dramatic increases in agricultural production. This included the introduction of semi-dwarf, high-yielding varieties of wheat and rice into India that doubled and tripled yields. While food grain production grew substantially, the overuse of chemicals caused issues like soil degradation and pollution over time. The Green Revolution saved many from famine but was not a sustainable solution due to its environmental impacts.
7. green revolution
The green revolution significantly increased agricultural production in developing countries between the 1940s-1960s through programs introducing high-yielding crop varieties, irrigation infrastructure, and use of fertilizers. This transformation was initiated by organizations like the Rockefeller Foundation and led to widespread adoption of new crops like rice varieties in countries in Asia and Latin America. While food production increased dramatically, the green revolution also had environmental and social impacts, and its benefits were not evenly distributed. Overall, the green revolution is both praised for preventing famine and criticized for its unintended consequences.
ENVIRNMETAL PROTECTION MORAL AND ETHICAL ISSUES IN INDIA
Environmental ethics deals with issues related to the equitable distribution of resources between individuals today and future generations, as well as other living creatures. It considers questions around sustainable usage of resources and the rights of poorer individuals and groups who have limited access to resources. Key principles that arose from discussions of these issues emphasize that environmental destruction largely benefits the rich at the cost of the poor, calls for more sustainable development and conservation of natural resources, and recognizes the interdependence between human and natural communities.

The document defines environmental impact assessment (EIA) and outlines its key aspects:
1. EIA is defined as a formal process for identifying the likely effects of projects on the environment, human health, and welfare, as well as means to mitigate and monitor impacts.
2. The objectives of impact prediction in EIA are to identify the magnitude, probability, spatial and temporal scale of impacts from a project in comparison to the situation without the project.
3. Impact evaluation aims to assign significance to predicted impacts through scientific and professional judgment, measures of ecological disturbance, and consideration of standards and mitigation options. Analytical methods like cost-benefit analysis and multi-criteria scoring are used.
L 11 agriculture & environment
1) Agriculture provides 95% of human protein and calories from traditional crops and livestock grown on land.
2) Soil quality is important for agriculture but agriculture can degrade soil quality over time through erosion from plowing, deforestation, and overgrazing.
3) Erosion from agriculture removes an estimated 25.4 billion tons of soil globally each year, filling waterways and polluting them with sediment and fertilizers. Contour plowing, crop rotation, and no-till agriculture can help reduce erosion and make soils more sustainable.

Environmental implications of Kuznet curve
The document discusses the environmental Kuznets curve hypothesis. It begins by providing background on how environmental issues came to be more widely debated in the 1980s. This led to a shift from focusing on natural resource availability to the environment's ability to absorb waste. The Brundtland Report in 1987 embraced economic growth as a way to reduce poverty and environmental degradation. The relationship between economic growth and the environment then came under increased scrutiny. In the 1990s, the empirical literature on this link "exploded" as many studies tested the environmental Kuznets curve hypothesis. This hypothesis proposes that various indicators of environmental degradation initially increase with economic growth but then improve after a certain income threshold is reached, similar to Kuznets' original curve
Marine fishing policy
The document outlines India's comprehensive marine fisheries policy. It aims to harmoniously develop coastal and deep sea fishing sectors while ensuring sustainability. Key points include establishing limited access fisheries in India's EEZ, regulating fishing capacity, promoting deep sea fishing to reduce pressure in coastal waters, and addressing issues like overfishing, poor infrastructure, and post-harvest losses. The policy also focuses on fisher welfare, resource management, and developing ancillary industries while balancing conservation and production goals. Implementation challenges include enforcing regulations with limited resources and transitioning to more restrictive management.
IMPLICATIONS OF FERTILIZER USE VIS-À-VIS ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION
This document discusses the implications of fertilizer use on environmental pollution in India. It provides background on India's increasing fertilizer usage to boost agricultural productivity since the Green Revolution. While fertilizers have significantly increased food production, contributing to over half of overall production gains, their overuse can pollute the environment. Excess nitrogen and phosphorus from fertilizers can leach into groundwater or run off into water bodies, lowering water quality and causing eutrophication. The document examines fertilizer usage and composition trends in India as well as their effects on soil, water, air quality, and human and crop health.
Socio economic study in eia
This document provides an overview of socio-economic impact assessments that are included as part of Environmental Impact Assessments.

The document outlines the process for conducting socio-economic assessments, including preparing questionnaires, collecting primary and secondary data, analyzing the data, predicting impacts, and recommending CSR activities to reduce impacts and support community development. The goal of socio-economic assessments is to promote sustainable development and improve livelihoods.
environmental laws
This document discusses environmental laws, acts, and ethics in India. It provides an overview of key environmental laws in India like the Air Act, Environment Protection Act, and Water Act. It describes the objectives of establishing regulatory authorities and frameworks to prevent pollution and protect the environment. The document also covers environmental ethics, discussing the development of considering non-human ethics, different ethical perspectives, and how environmental ethics are reflected in Indian traditions, religions and philosophy dating back to Vedic times. It aims to promote protecting the environment through following acts and maintaining strong environmental ethics.
Green Revolution
The green revolution aimed to increase crop yields through new high-yielding varieties of rice and wheat. This led to successes like tripling of yields in India, allowing the country to become self-sufficient in wheat and rice. However, there were also failures, as only wealthy farmers could afford the costs of the new seeds and technologies, which increased rural unemployment and migration to cities. The green revolution benefited some but was not financially viable for most small farmers. Appropriate technology tailored to existing skills could help increase living standards for more people.
Environmental ethics
This document discusses various topics relating to environmental ethics, including the definition of environmental ethics as the study of human interactions with the environment.

04 soil erosion and degradation
Soils are being degraded and eroded through human activities like farming, logging, and construction. Sheet, rill, and gully erosion carry away topsoil faster than it can form. One third of the world's cropland is losing topsoil at unsustainable rates. Conservation practices like no-till farming, contour planting, and terracing can help reduce erosion losses by keeping soil covered and slowing water runoff. Proper management of irrigation and use of organic fertilizers are also needed to prevent issues like salinization and loss of soil nutrients.

Water Resources_Environmental studies.pptx
The document discusses various topics related to water resources including its uses, hydrological cycle, distribution, underground water, effects of over utilization, reasons for decline of groundwater, floods, drought, flood and drought management, and sustainable water management. It provides details on mineral, food and energy resources as well as agriculture. In summary, the document covers important natural resources like water, minerals, food and energy and discusses their uses, issues with over exploitation, management strategies and sustainability.
Food
The document discusses food resources and issues related to global food supply. It notes that only a small number of plant and animal species provide the vast majority of human food, with three plant species alone accounting for 65% of global food supply. Industrial agriculture relies on fossil fuels, fertilizers and pesticides to mass produce crops, while traditional subsistence and intensive agriculture aim to produce enough food for families. Major challenges to global food security include natural disasters exacerbated by climate change, poverty, rising food prices, uncontrolled population growth, and foreign acquisition of agricultural land in poor countries.
Diablo valley dem club presentation 3 18 2014
Food (agriculture) production and distribution is estimated to cause approximately 25% of global warming (UN), which is causing drought in many areas. Agriculture uses 80% of the ground and surface water, increasing the water shortage. AgLantis is creating an urban farm right in the middle of heavy industry and will use hydroponic greenhouse production which yields as much as 40 times the produce using 10% of the water. The farm is on unused public buffer land, uses recycled agricultural grade water and is an innovate, replicable solution that dramatically decreases the carbon and water footprint of food production and distribution. Using recycled water high in nitrogen and phosphorus also eliminates the need for fossil fuel based fertilizers. The UN estimates 40% of agriculture is lost from farm-to-mouth. Growing in urban centers dramatically decreases that loss, much of which is due to long distane transportation.
B4FA 2012 Uganda: Achieving food security for 9 billion - Chris Leaver
Presentation by Chris Leaver, Oxford University
Delivered at the B4FA Media Dialogue Workshop, Kampala, Uganda - November 2012
www.b4fa.org
Food resources & World Food Problems
Food comes primarily from three sources: croplands (76% of food), rangelands (17% of food from livestock grazing), and fisheries (7% of food). The document then discusses several issues contributing to the global food problem, including natural disasters from climate change, poverty limiting people's ability to afford food, rising global food prices, uncontrolled population growth straining food production, foreign companies acquiring land in poor countries, and undernutrition and malnourishment affecting health. Modern industrial agriculture also poses problems such as monocultures, waterlogging, salinization of soils from irrigation, fertilizer-related pollution and imbalances, and pesticide resistance, biological magnification, and impacts on non-target species
climate change adaptation and mitigation.pptx
Climate change poses serious risks to agriculture, food security, and sustainable development goals. Rising greenhouse gases, temperatures, and extreme weather events threaten global food production. While higher temperatures may slightly increase crop yields at higher latitudes initially, prolonged heat will reduce yields. Adaptation strategies like new crop varieties and irrigation and mitigation efforts like improved agricultural practices can help offset impacts. Integrating climate planning into sustainable development is urgently needed.
Impacts of agriculture, aquaculture on environment
This document discusses the environmental impacts of agriculture and aquaculture. It notes that while farming can help environments when sustainably practiced, unsustainable practices pose major threats. Key impacts include habitat loss from land conversion, wasteful water consumption, soil erosion, various forms of pollution, contributions to climate change, and loss of genetic diversity. For aquaculture, the document outlines impacts such as destruction of habitats, overexploitation of wild juveniles, water depletion and salinization, disease issues, waste impacts on water quality, and effects of escaped farmed fish.
Sustainable Agriculture and the Future of Food
This slideshow discusses a number of different approaches to sustainable agriculture with a focus on ways to minimize environmental impacts. The influence of Borlaug and Vogt on agriculture are discussed as well.
Environmental Problems and Sustainability
This document discusses several key topics in environmental science:
- It introduces environmental problems like population growth, resource use, pollution, and biodiversity loss. Exponential population growth and limited resources are causing many of these problems.
- Sustainability and living within the earth's limits to support all species are introduced as important concepts. Factors like poverty, overconsumption, and unsustainable economic growth are examined as root causes of environmental degradation.
- Different perspectives on the environment - planetary management, stewardship, and environmental wisdom - are presented, with disagreement on whether current trends are improving or worsening the environment. Guidelines for sustainable resource use are outlined.
Revolutionary Rural Economic and Environment Development
The document discusses the REED Program, which aims to promote sustainable rural development through integrated aquaculture, agriculture, and environmental protection. It outlines the program's objectives of establishing model communities that produce food while restoring ecosystems. The REED Program addresses issues like water and land degradation, as well as the growing global demand for food, through community empowerment and diverse green production for local and international markets.

The world faces several food problems including natural disasters exacerbated by climate change, poverty preventing many from affording food, rising global food prices, uncontrolled population growth straining limited resources, and foreign companies acquiring land in poor countries. Modern agriculture also has environmental impacts such as soil erosion, water pollution, genetic monocultures vulnerable to disease, waterlogging, salinization from irrigation, micronutrient imbalances and pollution from excessive fertilizer use, and harm from pesticides through resistance, biological magnification, and killing beneficial species.
Mr. Sebastian Belle - Problems, Stumbling Blocks and Solutions for U.S. Aquac...
This document discusses the growing global demand for food and challenges facing food production. It notes that the world's population is projected to reach 9.6 billion by 2050, requiring food production to double. However, resources like arable land and fresh water are limited. Aquaculture is presented as a solution, as it is more efficient than terrestrial animal or plant production and can use water resources. The US imports over 90% of its seafood but aquaculture represents a major opportunity, though it faces challenges like lack of coordination and political support. Solutions proposed include developing a national aquaculture program to support the industry. Maine is seen as well positioned for growth due to its resources and infrastructure.
International Symposium 2013 ISHS. Organic matter and carbon sequestration
Soil organic matter plays an important role in carbon sequestration. Agricultural soils are among the largest reservoirs of carbon, estimated to be able to sequester 20 petagrams of carbon in 25 years. Soils contain about three times as much carbon as vegetation and twice as much as the atmosphere. Carbon storage in soils depends on the balance between input of dead plant material and losses from decomposition; management practices that increase soil organic matter like no-till farming can sequester more carbon in biomass and soils. Doing so provides benefits like increased soil fertility and productivity while helping mitigate climate change. However, carbon sequestration through soil is reversible if agricultural practices or disasters cause stored carbon to re-enter the atmosphere

Norms of Cultures
This document defines and provides examples of different types of social norms: folkways, mores, taboos, and laws. Folkways are minor social conventions like chewing quietly in class. Mores are norms based on morality, like prohibitions on premarital cohabitation. Taboos are strongly prohibited behaviors considered unclean, like eating pork or incest. Laws are codified norms backed by legal punishment, such as prohibitions on polygamy in the United States. The document uses these examples to distinguish between different levels of social norms.
Global Warming Lec 14
The document discusses how the greenhouse effect works and causes global warming. The atmosphere traps some of the sun's heat, warming the Earth. While a natural greenhouse effect is important, increased greenhouse gases from human activities like burning fossil fuels are enhancing the effect and causing climate change. Less than 1% of gases like carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide in the atmosphere are responsible for trapping heat. Human activities like deforestation and use of fossil fuels are raising levels of these gases. The impacts of climate change include rising seas, stronger storms, and effects on ecosystems, agriculture and human health. Adaptation and mitigation efforts aim to address impacts.
Air pollution Lec 13
This document discusses different types of air pollution including their sources and health effects. It describes the typical atmospheric composition and how air pollution is defined. The major air pollutants - carbon monoxide, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, and ground level ozone - are explained along with their sources from transportation, industry, and forest fires. Health effects from these pollutants include respiratory problems, heart and lung disease, and increased cancer risk. The document also covers ozone depletion in the stratosphere and acid deposition's impacts on aquatic animals, birds, and forests.
Water Pollution Lec 17
This document discusses various types and sources of water pollution. It defines water pollution as degradation of water quality caused by biological, physical or chemical pollutants from various point sources like pipes and non-point sources like runoff. These pollutants include heavy metals, bacteria, and excess nutrients. Surface water pollution occurs when pollutants enter bodies of water, while groundwater pollution can result from leaking fuel tanks or chemical infiltration. Wastewater treatment aims to reduce biochemical oxygen demand and kill bacteria using primary treatment to remove solids, secondary treatment using aeration and sedimentation, and sometimes advanced treatment for further nutrient removal.
SURVEYING - Photogrammetry (CE 115) Lec2 By Afia Narzis Spring 2016
Photogrammetry is a method of surveying that uses photographs to prepare maps and plans. There are two main types: terrestrial photogrammetry uses ground-based photos, while aerial photogrammetry uses photos taken from aircraft. Aerial photogrammetry involves advanced planning, flying missions to take overlapping vertical photos with specialized cameras, conducting ground control surveys, and compiling the photos into maps. It is used for tasks like topographic mapping, infrastructure planning, and military surveillance.
Ecology Lec 07 2016
This document defines key concepts in ecosystem ecology. It explains that an ecosystem is composed of biotic (living) and abiotic (non-living) factors that interact as an integrated system. The main components of an ecosystem are the flow of energy from the sun through producers, the cycling of materials between organisms and their environment, and the interactions between organisms, including producers, primary consumers, secondary consumers, and decomposers in the food web.
Public Speaking Oral Test Practice Example
Samsul Azam gives an oral presentation about his mother, Kamrun Nahar Khanum. He introduces her as an outstanding head teacher of a primary school and district commissioner of SCOUT. He describes her as a wonderful, trusting person who was his first mentor in encouraging him to participate in scouting, cultural activities, and volunteering. She taught him the importance of honest, hard work. Samsul recalls winning an award for being one of Bangladesh's top 62 scouts in 1999 when he was in class 5, which was due to his mother's influence and her motto of achieving success through disciplined hard work and honesty. He expresses love, honor and respect for his and his classmates' mothers.

Recycling and Disposal on SWM Raymond Einyu pptx
Increasing urbanization, rural–urban migration, rising standards of living, and rapid development associated with population growth have resulted in increased solid waste generation by industrial, domestic and other activities in Nairobi City. It has been noted in other contexts too that increasing population, changing consumption patterns, economic development, changing income, urbanization and industrialization all contribute to the increased generation of waste.
With the increasing urban population in Kenya, which is estimated to be growing at a rate higher than that of the country’s general population, waste generation and management is already a major challenge. The industrialization and urbanization process in the country, dominated by one major city – Nairobi, which has around four times the population of the next largest urban centre (Mombasa) – has witnessed an exponential increase in the generation of solid waste. It is projected that by 2030, about 50 per cent of the Kenyan population will be urban.
Aim:
A healthy, safe, secure and sustainable solid waste management system fit for a world – class city.
Improve and protect the public health of Nairobi residents and visitors.
Ecological health, diversity and productivity and maximize resource recovery through the participatory approach.
Goals:
Build awareness and capacity for source separation as essential components of sustainable waste management.
Build new environmentally sound infrastructure and systems for safe disposal of residual waste and replacing current dumpsites which should be commissioned.
Current solid waste management situation:
The status.
Solid waste generation rate is at 2240 tones / day
collection efficiently is at about 50%.
Actors i.e. city authorities, CBO’s , private firms and self-disposal
Current SWM Situation in Nairobi City:
Solid waste generation – collection – dumping
Good Practices:
• Separation – recycling – marketing.
• Open dumpsite dandora dump site through public education on source separation of waste, of which the situation can be reversed.
• Nairobi is one of the C40 cities in this respect , various actors in the solid waste management space have adopted a variety of technologies to reduce short lived climate pollutants including source separation , recycling , marketing of the recycled products.
• Through the network, it should expect to benefit from expertise of the different actors in the network in terms of applicable technologies and practices in reducing the short-lived climate pollutants.
Good practices:
Despite the dismal collection of solid waste in Nairobi city, there are practices and activities of informal actors (CBOs, CBO-SACCOs and yard shop operators) and other formal industrial actors on solid waste collection, recycling and waste reduction.
Practices and activities of these actor groups are viewed as innovations with the potential to change the way solid waste is handled.
CHALLENGES:
• Resource Allocation.

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.
Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...
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.

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.

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.

Microbial characterisation and identification, and potability of River Kuywa ...Open Access Research Paper
Water contamination is one of the major causes of water borne diseases worldwide. In Kenya, approximately 43% of people lack access to potable water due to human contamination. River Kuywa water is currently experiencing contamination due to human activities. Its water is widely used for domestic, agricultural, industrial and recreational purposes. This study aimed at characterizing bacteria and fungi in river Kuywa water. Water samples were randomly collected from four sites of the river: site A (Matisi), site B (Ngwelo), site C (Nzoia water pump) and site D (Chalicha), during the dry season (January-March 2018) and wet season (April-July 2018) and were transported to Maseno University Microbiology and plant pathology laboratory for analysis. The characterization and identification of bacteria and fungi were carried out using standard microbiological techniques. Nine bacterial genera and three fungi were identified from Kuywa river water. Clostridium spp., Staphylococcus spp., Enterobacter spp., Streptococcus spp., E. coli, Klebsiella spp., Shigella spp., Proteus spp. and Salmonella spp. Fungi were Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus flavus complex and Penicillium species. Wet season recorded highest bacterial and fungal counts (6.61-7.66 and 3.83-6.75cfu/ml) respectively. The results indicated that the river Kuywa water is polluted and therefore unsafe for human consumption before treatment. It is therefore recommended that the communities to ensure that they boil water especially for drinking.

Food and Agriculture and Environment Lec 11
- 2. WORLD FOOD SUPPLY AND THE ENVIRONMENT Modern food problem is associated with two processes: The great increase in human population outstrips local food production in many areas. An inadequate food distribution system for these growing population
- 3. WORLD FOOD SUPPLY AND THE ENVIRONMENT Increase in world food production in the past have been accomplished in two ways: Increase the area in food production Increasing the production per unit area
- 4. LAND, PEOPLE, AND AGRICULTURE: 11% of the total land area of the world is in agriculture In the future, when the human population doubles, the production of agriculture must double, just to meet the present level of per capita food consumption. The associated problem is: ◦ More land will be required for the housing of the additional population. we need to increase productivity per unit area Food production depends on the environment e.g., drought, lack of crucial resources.
- 5. AN ECOLOGICAL PERSPECTIVE ON AGRICULTURE: Biome: large naturally occurring community of flora and fauna occupying a major habitat Agro-ecosystems : Agriculture can be viewed as human-developed biome which can be termed as agro-ecosystems.
- 6. SOIL AND AGRICULTURE: Agricultures depend heavily on soil quality but can lead to a decline in that quality: Amount of organic matter declines Traditionally, farmers combat the decline in the soil fertility by using: Organic fertilizer such as animal manure Chemical or Artificial fertilizers.
- 7. SUPPLY: Green Revolution: Development of new types of crops with higher yields, better resistant to diseases, or better ability to grow under poor condition. Improved Irrigation: improve yield and reduce overall water use. Increasing the amount of agricultural land:
- 8. EFFECTS OF AGRICULTURE ON ENVIRONMENT ON-SITE OR PRIMARY EFFECTS: ◦ Includes erosion, loss of soils, and increase in sedimentation downstream in local rivers. OFF-SITE OR SECONDARY EFFECTS ◦ Global effects include climatic changes as well as potentially extensive changes in global
