Adam Arkin proposes an integrated biomanufacturing system for deep space missions to produce food, pharmaceuticals, and materials on demand without resupply from Earth. The system would utilize biology and synthetic biology techniques. Key challenges include developing specialized plants and microbes, reactors, and integrating technologies to utilize Martian resources like carbon dioxide, nitrogen, water and regolith. The CUBES research program aims to address these challenges through divisions focused on systems design, microbial media, food and drug synthesis, and biomaterials production. Models are used to determine feedstock and nutrient requirements to support human missions to Mars.
Soil organisms play an important role in carbon sequestration through processes like decomposition, humification, aggregation, and symbiosis. The document discusses how soil microbes and fauna contribute to tearing and cutting fresh litter, decomposition, and increasing soil carbon levels. Studies show soil carbon is correlated with forests and fallow lands that have high abundance and diversity of soil organisms. Increasing soil organisms can accelerate biological nitrogen fixation and decomposition, helping to sequester more carbon in soil and increase agricultural productivity.

Nutrient and Bioactive Potentials of some Agricultural Food WastesPremier Publishers
The current research investigated the proximate, mineral content and phytochemical constituents of five (5) food wastes, namely: Telfairia occidentalis (fluted pumpkin) seed peels and pod; Artocarpus camansi (breadnut) seed peels and creamy pulp and Mucuna urens (horse eye bean) seed peels. The results of the proximate analysis of the food wastes revealed that the samples have varying percentage range of 51.70-70.25 for carbohydrate, 7.35-11.90 for protein, 1.90-6.20 for fat, 2.80-11.60 for fiber, 3.40-15.25 for ash and 4.40-18.15 for moisture. The percentage carbohydrate content showed that pumpkin seed peel had the lowest yield while pumpkin pod peel had the highest. The result of the mineral analysis revealed that the five food wastes analysed contain Zn, K, P, Ca, Mg, Fe and Na, however, the levels of Fe, Ca, P and Mg were significantly higher (p<0.05) relative to the other minerals. The phytochemical estimation of the samples showed that the food wastes contain several bioactive compounds in different concentrations. Some of the phytochemicals found in the food wastes are spartein, phytate, anthocyanin, tannin, lunamarin, ribalinidine, catechin, rutin, kaempferol, oxalate, epicatechin, phenol and sapogenin. This study revealed that these food wastes possess some nutritive and medicinal potential.
Effect of soil conservation investment on efficiency of cassava production in...Alexander Decker
This study examined the effect of soil conservation investment on the efficiency of cassava production in Oyo State, Nigeria. 80 cassava farmers were surveyed. The most common soil conservation methods used were bush fallowing, manuring, mulching, crop rotation, and herbicides, though fertilizer was less used. Regression analysis found that larger farm size was negatively associated with soil conservation investment, while greater farming experience had a positive influence. The study concluded that providing credit facilities could help cassava farmers adopt more modern soil conservation technologies to boost production and meet food demands.

Activities of science, technology and industrialization have in no small measure harmed the environment of human kind and endangered their natural life and habitat. Manmade chemical compounds have changed everything about the inhabitants of the earth. Human life is tainted with artificial materials including the food we eat on daily basis. The rapid degradation of the eco-system over the last century, have been the concern of every segment of the world at large. Industrial advancement which has made mankind’s life better has indeed aggravated the earth’s environmental degradation in the areas of global warming, rise in sea levels, oil spillages that is fast threatening the extinction of sea animals, acidic rains, increase in atmospheric Co2, ozone layer depletion, toxic disposition, noise pollution, air pollution and so on. These are the effects of human activities, which has been attributed to the rise of industrialization and overzealous surge for scientific innovations and technological inventions to make life better and easy as envisaged by these groups of scientists and technologists, which is also a concern for the environmentalists, naturalists, and the world at large.

Microbiological and Physicochemical Assessment of Poultry Soil Samples in Aku...Agriculture Journal IJOEAR
Abstract— Human activities such as animal production in many parts of the world, still impact negatively on the environment and biodiversity. This study was carried out to assess the microbiological and physicochemical parameters of poultry soil samples. Soil samples were collected from different poultry in Akure metropolis and soil samples from Federal University of Technology, Akure (FUTA) environment as control. Microbiological and physicochemical analyses were carried out using standard methods. The mean total viable bacterial count of poultry soil ranged from 9.02±0.511×105cfu/g in sample site A to 11.2±0.021×105cfu/g in sample site B and there were significant difference (p<0.05) between the bacterial count of poultry soil and control, mean highest fungal load is 6.05±0.301× 103sfu/g. Bacteria isolated were Escherichia coli, Aeromonas hydrophila ,Bacilllus subtilis, Bacillus cereus, Klebsiella pneumonia, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Salmonella typhi, Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus faecium. Escherichia coli had the highest occurrence of 23.08% while Aeromonas hydrophila had the lowest occurrence of 5.13%. Fungi isolated were Aspergillus flavus, Aspergillus niger, Aspergillus fumigates and Saccharomyces species. Aspergillus niger 46.67% had the highest occurrence while Saccharomyces species had the lowest occurrence of 13.33%. Physiochemical analysis showed that poultry soil had mean pH, temperature and Organic Carbon of 7.92±0.34, 34±0.04oC and 14.88±0.56% respectively, Organic Matter is 5.50±0.61%, Nitrogen 1.27±0.03 mg/g, Phosphorus58.92±0.01 mg/g, Potassium55.48±0.23 mg/g, Sodium 41.77±0.91mg/g, Calcium 28.70±0.24mg/g, Magnesium 20.65±0.32 mg/g and Cation exchange capacity146.60±0.11%. The results obtained calls for proper discharge of poultry waste into the environment to prevent transmission of diseases by water borne pathogens.

Palace, 00120, Vatican City.
As graduate researcher, Centre for Environment and Society/Department of Biological
Sciences, University of Essex, UK between October 2001 - October, 2006 was part of soil
health research group. The work centered on C fluxes and sequestration in grassland and
woodland ecosystems under various levels of land management using field, laboratory and
model approaches. The modeling accounted for 7 periods of English agriculture (8050 years
comprising the prehistoric, historic, agricultural revolution, post agricultural revolution, green
planet and post green planet. CENTURY 4.0 MODEL was chosen in view of ease of
configuration to diverse ecosystem.
Apart from the quantification of levels of greenhouse gases particularly CO2; their impact on
climatic change and their sink on ameliorating these conditions; other subject areas studied
included the nutrient dynamics of such ecosystem, particularly C and N, exploration of
enzyme activities (cellulose, urease, phosphomonoesterase) and the extraction, quantification
5. 5
and qualification of soil humic acids using chemical methods and 13
C-NMR Spectroscopy.
Respiration as an index of microbial activities were measured in the field and laboratory with
auto analyser and chemical reagents respectively. These methods helped to account for
autotrophic and heterotrophic organisms roles in C-flux.
In the course of PhD studies at University of Essex, was invited to taught courses in the
Interdisciplinary Centre for Environment and Society that cut across the Departments of
Biological Sciences, Computer Science and Electronic Engineering, Economics, Essex
Business School, Government, School of Health and Human Sciences, School of law,
Literature, Film and Theatre studies and sociology. Courses cut across sustainable agriculture
and environment, eco-literacy, environmental law, environmental economics, environmental
politics, environmental governance, statistics for social science, sociology of human rights,
environmental health.
Permission was also given to attend first degree and masters courses in molecular methods in
ecology, environmental molecular microbiology, protein technology, plants, genes and
agriculture, environmental technology, research methods, marine environment, global energy
resources, global climatic change, biotechnology and genetic modification, ecology,
sociological approaches to science and technology, ground based remote sensing of weather,
conservation, water pollution biology, plant and soil response to elevated CO2, wastes and
pollution in pre-industrial society, bio treatable wastes, gene technology, capitalism,
industrialism and modernity, econometrics, process technology, air pollution.
