Organic farming by vvr ias
Organic farming excludes synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, GMOs, and livestock additives. It relies on crop rotation, reductions, manure, biofertilizers, and biological pest control. Organic farming maintains soil fertility and health while minimizing pollution. It improves soil nutrients, structure, and water retention while reducing erosion. Organic farming also reduces costs and risks compared to traditional farming. However, initial organic yields are lower, and organic inputs may be more expensive or scarce than chemical fertilizers. While organic farming benefits the environment and health, it cannot currently replace traditional agriculture in feeding the global population.
Global Warming
Global warming is a constant threat caused by increasing greenhouse gases from fossil fuel use and changing lifestyles. It is melting ice caps and threatening polar animals and coastal towns with rising sea levels. Biodiversity is declining as warming causes some species to become extinct due to their inability to adapt to changes. The presentation outlines causes of global warming such as fossil fuel usage and consumerism. It also suggests individual actions like conserving energy and adopting renewable sources to help reduce the problem.
Organic farming and modern world a study by Allah Dad Khan
Organic farming avoids synthetic inputs like fertilizers and pesticides and relies on natural methods like crop rotation and manures. It aims to protect soil health, encourage biodiversity, and farm sustainably. Organic farming principles include health, ecology, fairness, and responsibility by considering the environment, social impacts, and future generations.
How Is Organic Eco Friendly
Organic farming is more sustainable than conventional agriculture in several ways:
1) Organic crops use 25% less energy than conventional crops since organic farming is less reliant on fossil fuels for production.
2) Organic farming does not use chemical fertilizers which produce nitrous oxide, a greenhouse gas 320 times more potent than carbon dioxide. This stops emissions and allows carbon sequestration.
3) Organic soils have better structure which reduces water usage compared to conventional farming that often leads to issues like compaction and erosion.

The document discusses the importance of environmental education and awareness in the Philippines. It begins by outlining the global environmental problems like climate change and biodiversity loss that threaten humanity. While the Philippines has made efforts to promote awareness through laws like RA 9512, it still lags behind other nations in environmental performance. The study aims to evaluate the implementation of environmental awareness programs in public high schools in South Central Mindanao. It analyzes factors like integration into curriculum, activities, interagency collaboration and capacity building. The goal is to assess how these programs help protect the environment and promote awareness of natural resources to achieve sustainable development.

The Brundtland Commission, formally the World Commission on Environment and Development (WCED), known by the name of its Chair Gro Harlem Brundtland, was convened by the United Nations in 1983. The commission was created to address growing concern "about the accelerating deterioration of the human environment and natural resources and the consequences of that deterioration for economic and social development." In establishing the commission, the UN General Assembly recognized that environmental problems were global in nature and determined that it was in the common interest of all nations to establish policies for sustainable development.

UNFFF9-IFAD agroforestry presentation
Global partnerships are needed to promote sustainable forest and agriculture management through agroforestry to address interconnected issues of food insecurity, deforestation, and climate change. IFAD and ICRAF have collaborated on several initiatives including promoting agroforestry in the Sahel region of Africa, rewarding communities in Asia for environmental services, domesticating trees in West Africa to improve farmer incomes while reducing impact on forests, and establishing market-based schemes in Africa to promote sustainable landscapes and livelihoods. Addressing challenges of increasing food production, reducing poverty, and conserving natural resources will require integrated, landscape-based approaches and global partnerships pursuing multiple benefits.

This idea proposes integrating community development into the curriculum of a business school. Students would analyze developing countries and identify business and management needs. They would then work with rural communities, providing education on resource management and entrepreneurship. This enables knowledge sharing while developing sustainable local projects, improving students' understanding of development issues. The goals are to study real economic situations, promote social awareness in business students, and establish community leaders to continue projects. An execution plan would be developed to achieve these objectives.
