Agricultural research aims to increase food production through creating new organisms and altering existing ones to develop products that benefit plants and animals. This could help boost crop and livestock yields, improve soil productivity, reduce losses from disease and insects, and allow for more efficient farming equipment. However, there are also risks like increased antibiotic resistance, new diseases, fewer family farms, and greater environmental impacts. Overall, agricultural research has provided benefits like higher-yielding and more nutritious foods, though it has led to farm consolidation with fewer producers.

Technology transfer and utilization to increase productivity of Nepalese agri...
Two third of Nepal's population depends on agriculture but struggles to produce adequate food for its people and imports around NPR 200 billion worth of food products each year. Inefficient production practices mainly because of lack of technologies resulting into negative margin for majority of the producers. Many farmers, particularly the young farmers are interested to adapt new technologies to reduce drudgery and production cost, to enhance input-use-efficiency and to generate more profit. In addition, due to a higher rate of male out-migration, we should be focused on a series of technology focused programs and projects.
Some already tested and proven technologies for examples use of genomic selection to enhance plant and livestock productivity, use of remote sensing data to uniform distribution of fertilizers and other farm chemicals, use of sexed semen to produce female calves for higher milk production, precision nutrient and water management technologies, use of scale-appropriate mechanization, disease resistance varieties of plant and animal species are common practices in developed world. As many of these technologies are already tested and proven elsewhere, a small investment and optimization to custom in Nepalese context can bring a big return to Nepalese agriculture. For export, Nepal has a huge potential to produce premium and organic agri-products along with some optimized indigenous technology to export in international markets.
New technology, market and risk management need to go together for better results. Government led risk management programs in big sectors like cereals, poultry, dairy and other commercial enterprises would greatly help in increasing efficiency of the sector and encourage new investments. There is also substantial outreach and investment required to smallholder subsistence farms for certifying the premium and organic products. However, the adoption of technologies generated in other countries have potential social, economic, human, animal, and ecosystem health impacts and slow adoption. Nevertheless, through training, investments and mobilization in technology uptake and commercialization may overcome these shortcomings. In conclusion, Nepal can adopt technologies and best practices from around the world to reduce food import while it can also export premium agri-products in international markets.

Kendra Waldbusser discusses how scientific advances are being used in the poultry industry to meet consumer demands and ensure public health. She outlines trends showing consumer preference for meat produced with fewer antibiotics and more natural and organic attributes. Pilgrim's is responding by replacing, reducing, and refining antibiotic use through strict controls, analysis, and antibiotic stewardship programs. The goal is using antibiotics "as little as possible as much as necessary" to produce safe, responsibly-raised meat.

Sustainable agriculture: is it optional, and can it feed the world?
Sustainable agriculture: is it optional, and can it feed the world?IFAD International Fund for Agricultural Development
The document discusses sustainable agriculture and its ability to feed the world. It notes that over 1 billion people currently experience hunger daily and that food production will need to double in the next 25-50 years to meet demand. However, business as usual approaches will not work due to threats like climate change, water scarcity, and loss of biodiversity. Advanced technologies may help boost yields but risks need to be carefully evaluated. Policies should promote sustainability, small farmers, and rural development through improved access to resources, markets and knowledge.Pm pulkit agron 224
This document discusses integrated weed management (IWM), which aims to control weeds through multiple strategies used together. IWM incorporates cultural, mechanical, chemical, prevention, and biological tactics. Cultural tactics include crop rotation and cover crops to make crops more competitive against weeds. Mechanical tactics involve hand-pulling and tillage. Chemical control uses herbicides, emphasizing multiple modes of action. Prevention monitors inputs and cleans equipment to avoid spreading weeds. Biological control researches using organisms to target weeds. The goal of IWM is effective long-term weed control through diversified approaches.
Livestock feeds and forages flagship
Poster prepared for the 7th Multi-Stakeholder Partnership Meeting of the Global Agenda for Sustainable Livestock, Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, 8–12 May 2017
Sustainable Agriculture: An Introduction
Sustainable agriculture aims to produce food without depleting resources or polluting the environment. It follows natural principles and creates self-sustaining systems like nature. While sustainability is tied to broader issues, it began with small farmers concerned about the environmental damage of industrial agriculture. Sustainable farmers now use ecology-based approaches to promote biodiversity, recycle nutrients, and integrate crops and livestock. Little by little, through practices that are profitable for small family farms and through new local markets, sustainable farming is taking root field by field and farm by farm.
Gender and small scale climate smart food systems: role of science
Gender and small scale climate smart food systems: role of science Inclusive Climate Change Adaptation for a Sustainable Africa (ICCASA)
This document discusses the role of science in addressing the gender dimensions of small-scale, climate-smart food systems. It notes that women make up a large portion of the agricultural workforce in developing countries but often have limited access to resources and technologies. Science can play a role in developing climate-smart technologies and practices that are suited to women's needs and priorities. It provides examples of technologies that could benefit women, such as threshers to reduce post-harvest losses, solar-powered irrigation pumps, and ICTs to provide useful climate information. The document argues that science must work to improve the collection of gender-disaggregated data and make research more responsive to the needs of vulnerable groups like women.Reshaping Food Systems: Key Policies and Investments

Productivity – intensification – animal welfare: Synergies or trade-offs?
Presentation d by Rebecca E. Doyle, Cecile Godde, Barbara Wieland, Cathy M. Dwyer, Kristina Roesel, Johanna F. Lindahl, Silvia Alonso and Delia Grace at the International Tropical Agriculture Conference, Brisbane, Australia, 11−13 November 2019
Organic - The future of farming
Organic farming relies on natural methods like crop rotation and animal manures rather than synthetic pesticides and fertilizers. It has grown into a $80 billion global market with India emerging as a prominent supplier of organic fruits. While organic farming occupies just 0.3% of India's agricultural land currently, it provides higher profits for farmers, healthier food for consumers, and environmental benefits like reduced pollution and soil conservation. The myth that organic farming is not feasible has been disproven by studies showing higher net profits despite some reduction in crop yields.
Genetically modified animals
This document discusses how genetic engineering can be used to reduce antibiotic use in animal agriculture. It notes that overuse of antibiotics in food animals promotes antibiotic resistance. Genetic modifications like accelerated growth, disease resistance, and large product yields could provide viable alternatives to meet industry needs while reducing antibiotic use. The document explores how new gene editing tools like CRISPR could be applied to genetically modify farm animals and increase their immunity. However, it also notes there are some concerns about animal welfare and unintended consequences of genetic modifications that require further research.

Trends in agri sector july 18 2017
Consumer preferences are shifting towards healthier, safer, higher quality food with transparent origins. This is increasing demand for foods higher in protein and fats while reducing carbohydrates. The rise in biofuel production competes with food production for resources, impacting agricultural prices and potentially food security. Stakeholders are increasingly focused on sustainability across environmental, social, and economic dimensions as defined by the triple bottom line.
Ethics in Agriculture - Issues and Way Forward
Where economy of a country is based on agriculture, it should demonstrate more maturity in promoting ethics, essential from the health point view, both physical and economical.
What is Organic
Organic food awareness classes were presented by Chef Mukesh. The document defines organic food as food produced using environmentally and animal friendly farming methods without inorganic fertilizers and pesticides. Organic farming began as a reaction to agriculture's reliance on synthetic products after the industrial revolution. Organic food contains more antioxidants and lower levels of toxins than conventional food. The benefits of organic food include reduced pesticide exposure, support of environmentally friendly practices, and higher nutrient levels while being GMO-free. However, organic food is more expensive and does not last as long due to the lack of preservatives.
In-Furrow Fertilizer
The document discusses innovations in starter fertilizers and in-furrow fertilizer placement. Specifically, it describes how starter fertilizers were developed to provide young seedlings with important nutrients, and how modern liquid formulations allow for in-furrow placement of nutrients during planting. In-furrow fertilizer placement provides seeds with easy access to nutrients and other crop inputs like fungicides and insecticides to promote faster germination and protect seedlings. The Leaders of In-Furrow Technology program aims to educate farmers on the benefits of in-furrow application systems for increased and more consistent yields.

2) It recommends targeting investments in key technologies for health and the environment like improved, climate-resilient crop varieties and nutrition-driven technologies to help end hunger and malnutrition.
3) Global cooperation on issues like addressing cross-boundary diseases, implementing climate-smart agriculture, and closing the gender gap in agriculture will be important, and effective governance mechanisms are needed to monitor progress.Seven Steps to Product Approval
The process of developing and approving new animal drugs is complex, lengthy, and costly. Only 1 in 20,000 proposed chemicals makes it through initial testing to be used on farms. From discovery to approval can take over 10 years of preliminary lab tests, animal trials to test dosage and safety, regulatory review, and monitoring after approval to ensure safety. The animal health industry has doubled spending over the past 10 years to over $400 million to navigate this rigorous process.
FDA
The document summarizes actions taken by the FDA regarding certain drugs and food products between January 2012 and December 2011. It provides background on the FDA, then discusses the FDA prohibiting certain uses of cephalosporin drugs in meat animals in January 2012 due to concerns about antibiotic resistance. Several drug recalls are also mentioned from December 2011 to January 2012 related to issues like improper dissolution and potential contamination.

biotechnology in Agriculture
Agricultural biotechnology has been used for over 10,000 years to improve crops and livestock. Modern techniques allow scientists to directly manipulate DNA to develop new traits. While this can increase yields, resist pests and diseases, there are also health, social, and environmental risks to consider. Benefits include higher production, enhanced nutrition, and virus resistance, but risks include allergic reactions, antibiotic resistance, gene flow to weeds, and loss of biodiversity. Careful safety testing and regulation aim to maximize benefits and minimize risks of this developing technology.

While biotechnology is often associated with genetics and GMOs, it also includes techniques like artificial insemination and biofertilizers that have been used for a long time. The document outlines new biotechnologies being developed for crops, livestock, fish and other sectors in Asia and the Pacific to meet growing demands. It also discusses challenges for smallholder adoption, like complex risks, and recommends research focus on understanding local contexts, identifying policy barriers, and ensuring technologies are profitable and low risk for poor farmers and consumers.
Biomedical Agriculture- 22052789.pdf
Agricultural biotechnology has been used for over 10,000 years to improve crops and livestock. Modern techniques allow for more precise genetic modifications, including transferring genes between unrelated species. Potential benefits include increased yields, pest and disease resistance, and nutritional improvements. However, there are also health, social, and environmental risks to consider, such as allergic reactions, antibiotic resistance, gene flow to wild plants, and loss of biodiversity. Effective safety regulations are needed to maximize benefits and minimize risks of this developing technology.
Biotechnology
Biotechnology is the use of biological discoveries to develop industrial processes and produce useful organisms. Modern biotechnology isolates single genes and manipulates them to give desired characteristics, such as transferring genes between plants and animals. Current applications include more specific therapeutics, improved agriculture through pest resistance and higher yields, faster tree growth, contaminant testing, and novel foods. Leaders are applying scientific processes at the gene level to affect expressed and inherited traits.
Biotechnology
Food biotechnology employs modern genetic techniques to enhance beneficial traits in plants, animals, and microorganisms for food production. It allows adding or extracting select genes to achieve desired traits like increased yields, nutrition, and resistance to pests and disease. Studies show that properly regulated food biotechnology is safe and can help address issues like global hunger by producing more food on less land. However, some argue unintended effects need further review and consumers support labeling of biotech ingredients. Overall, experts agree food biotechnology has potential benefits but continuous research and oversight is important.
Sustainability developments in big agriculture

The document discusses two case studies that demonstrate the business case for sustainable agriculture. The first case study describes how an organization in India improved farming capabilities by converting farmers to organic practices. This reduced costs, increased income, improved water conservation and soil fertility. The second case study outlines how biodynamic agriculture practices were used to create a sustainable agriculture system in Egypt by turning desert land into fertile soil through closed nutrient cycling and using native predators to reduce the need for pesticides. Both cases showed the economic and environmental benefits of sustainable agriculture.
Sustainability in Pork Production
This document discusses sustainable pork production. It notes that population growth will require more food production in the future. Today's farmers are much more efficient, feeding 155 people on average compared to 26 people in 1960 using fewer inputs. The pork industry aims to safeguard the environment, animal well-being, public health, and natural resources. It has developed metrics to measure its sustainability performance over time in areas like carbon footprint, water footprint, and land use. The goal is to continuously improve practices to benefit people, pigs, and the environment.
