To evaluate the scope of the vertical farming concept in the building levels of the future Indian cities. And thereby to analyze how well this concept can integrated be into the urban to sow the seeds for the future and to resolve the long-standing paradox of humanity’s inclination towards exponential demographic and economic growth while inhabiting a planet of limited resource material means.
It is all about saving trees and environment. We know that day by day we cutting trees for our help to get food and home. But in this way we are chopping our self. In this presentation we can know more ideas about saving trees.
Cities today are constantly under pressure to accommodate a growing urban population and their increasing demand for various resources, such as energy, water, waste management, transportation, and food. Some of these resources are basic living requirements, and the most important of those being food. According to the current practices, food demand is mostly met by food grown on farmland away from the cities. This creates a bigger carbon footprint due to transportation, farming energy usage as well as environmental damage through agricultural contaminants, etc. Additionally, traditional farming often encounters climate extremes and disasters making it more difficult for farmers to survive. Hence there is a need to explore alternative techniques which can address issues concerned with traditional farming practices, one of such techniques is vertical farming. It is essentially a combination of variety of technologies, placed in an urban setting to help reduce most of the issues related to urban food demands and be environmentally less damaging at the same time.

Experimental Learning Programme (ELP) on Mushroom CultivationTANMAY MODAK
Participating in an Experimental Learning Programme in Mushroom Cultivation can be highly beneficial for an agriculture graduate. Mushroom cultivation is a specialized field within agriculture that offers several advantages, including relatively low startup costs, fast growth cycles, and high market demand. Here's how such a program can help:
1. Hands-on Experience: These programs typically provide hands-on training and practical experience in mushroom cultivation. Graduates can gain valuable skills by actually working with the equipment, substrates, and mushroom species commonly used in the industry.
2. Technical Knowledge: Participants can learn the technical aspects of mushroom cultivation, such as substrate preparation, spawn production, sterilization techniques, inoculation methods, and environmental control (e.g., temperature, humidity, and lighting).
3. Varieties of Mushrooms: Mushroom cultivation encompasses various mushroom species, each with its own requirements. Graduates can learn about different varieties like oyster mushrooms, shiitake, and button mushrooms, expanding their knowledge and marketability.
4. Business Skills: Besides cultivation techniques, participants often receive training on the business side of mushroom farming. This includes marketing, sales, budgeting, and business planning. This knowledge can be valuable for graduates looking to start their own mushroom cultivation business.
5. Problem-Solving Skills: Mushroom cultivation can be challenging, with various issues like contamination, pests, and environmental fluctuations. Graduates can develop problem-solving skills by tackling these challenges during the program.
6. Networking Opportunities: Joining an experimental learning program can provide opportunities to network with industry professionals, fellow participants, and instructors. This network can be instrumental in finding job opportunities or business partnerships in the future.
7. Research and Innovation: Graduates may also have the chance to engage in research or innovative projects during the program. This can help them stay updated with the latest developments in mushroom cultivation.
8. Certifications: Some programs offer certifications upon completion, which can enhance a graduate's resume and credibility in the industry.

Vertical farming: how could we take advantage of our vertical growth in Spain?Alex Rayón Jerez
Event
2011 International week at Southern Denmark University in Odense, Denmark. Theme: sustainable engineering
Abstract
Worldwide, we are living so many crisis, not only a financial and economic one. We have energy, environment, agricultural and ecology problems to be solved, problems that could be summarized in a demographical challenge that needs to be addressed sooner or later. In this brief seminar, I would like to expose some problems related with food supply in our dense urban cities (our main problem in the closest future). It is time for solutions. From a wide variety of possibilities that have been proposed to address that challenge, I would like to point urban farming, specially, the vertical urban farming approach. Finally, I propose a frame to introduce urban farming it in Spain, where a real-state bubble has left so many "zombie" houses, houses that could be adapted to host vertical farms.

A green wall is a wall partially or completely covered with greenery that includes a growing medium, such as soil. Most green walls also feature an integrated water delivery system. Green walls are also known as living walls or vertical gardens.
Although green wall is not a new concept and date back to hanging gardens of Babylonia in 600 BC, but flourished in current decades. In the age of sustainable development planners and architects look for solutions to green the buildings envelops and restore environmental conditions. A variety of different terminology in this area indicates the importance of issue: Hanging or vertical gardens, balcony gardens, vertical farms, containers or planter boxes greening, green roofs or rooftop gardens, green or eco buildings, green walls, wall planters, green envelops and green facades. They can be applied to increase bio diversity and ecological value, out door and indoor value, air quality and finally enhance social and physical well being of city dwellers. This presentation discusses the green facades as one of the vertical greening systems.

Cities and Biodiversity Outlook - presented to Central Valley Café ScientifiqueMadhusudan Katti
Slides from a presentation of the UN Converntion on Biodiversity commissioned Cities and Biodiversity Outlook. Madhusudan Katti, one of the lead authors of the CBO, presented this to the Central Valley Café Scientifíque, on 3 December 2012, in Fresno, California.
According to UN World Urbanization prospects, in the past 40 years, the global population has grown by 80% and in nearly 50 years the Urban population will reach about 70% of the global(world population prospects,2006). This Dramatic shift from the rural to urban areas can cause a great number of environmental and social problems that the world can face in the coming decades. One of them is the food crisis. Taking into account that cities currently contribute 70% of the world’s CO2 emission, rethinking the city for the better environmental performance is now in the priority in the global agenda. To attain an efficient urban environment, it is necessary to defy the existing rules of production and management of resources in the way they have worked until now. By Integrating Productive landscape in the everyday life of the people I aim to design an ideal sector which is totally self-sufficient. My design premises include: Food, Water, Energy, Waste, Bio-Diversity. In Ideal Sector each household has there owned productive landscape which includes compost pit, farms and solar panels whereas on the sector scale it has food towers which could cater to the overall need of food in the sector, also wetland which cleans black water of the households and urban forest which increases the biodiversity of the sector and also acts as the larger public space for the sector. These ideal sectors can be multiplied in the City to make the city more self-reliant.

Determinants of Households Willingness to Pay for Conservation of Natural Koo...AI Publications
Most natural resources or environmental goods and services are exposed to degradation, society over utilize them for only their current benefits without thinking the future life span of these resources. The study analyzed determinants of households’ willingness to pay for conservation of natural Kool water (Burie Kool Wuha, W/Gojjam, Ethiopia). The contingent valuation method and Heckman two step model was employed. The results indicates that sex of the household head, education of the household, value attached to the resource by households as source of income, value attached to the resource by households reserving for future generation and wealth of the households has a significant and positive correlation with households WTP, and family size of households, education of the household and wealth of the households has a significant and positive correlation with the households payment levels. On the other hand, initial bid value has a negative correlation with the level of payments. Therefore, by taking the importance of the resource for the society and the households WTP, the policy makers need to focus on identified factors in designing strategies for the conservation of the resource.
Kochi, the commercial capital of Kerala and the
second most important city next to Mumbai on the Western
coast of India, is a land having a wide variety of residential
environments. The present pattern of the city can be classified
as that of haphazard growth with typical problems
characteristics of unplanned urban development. This trend
can be ascribed to rapid population growth, our changing
lifestyles, food habits, and change in living standards,
institutional weaknesses, improper choice of technology and
public apathy. Ecological footprint analysis (EFA) is a
quantitative tool that represents the ecological load imposed
on the earth by humans in spatial terms. This paper analyses
the scope of EFA as a sustainable environmental management
tool for Kochi City.
Urban Agriculture Paper - From The Urban Agriculture Summit 2011, Washington ...Plantagon
The necessary components for green food production are found in flows of urban resources as nutrients, water, CO2 and energy in heating. If products are grown in closed urban agricultural systems using the best available environmental techniques, risks for both plants and consumers will be minimized. The Problem - The solution and biodiversity as a consequence (Washington D.C. November 16, 2011)

Book Formatting: Quality Control Checks for DesignersConfidence Ago
This presentation was made to help designers who work in publishing houses or format books for printing ensure quality.
Quality control is vital to every industry. This is why every department in a company need create a method they use in ensuring quality. This, perhaps, will not only improve the quality of products and bring errors to the barest minimum, but take it to a near perfect finish.
It is beyond a moot point that a good book will somewhat be judged by its cover, but the content of the book remains king. No matter how beautiful the cover, if the quality of writing or presentation is off, that will be a reason for readers not to come back to the book or recommend it.
So, this presentation points designers to some important things that may be missed by an editor that they could eventually discover and call the attention of the editor.
7 Alternatives to Bullet Points in PowerPointAlvis Oh
So you tried all the ways to beautify your bullet points on your pitch deck but it just got way uglier. These points are supposed to be memorable and leave a lasting impression on your audience. With these tips, you'll no longer have to spend so much time thinking how you should present your pointers.
You could be a professional graphic designer and still make mistakes. There is always the possibility of human error. On the other hand if you’re not a designer, the chances of making some common graphic design mistakes are even higher. Because you don’t know what you don’t know. That’s where this blog comes in. To make your job easier and help you create better designs, we have put together a list of common graphic design mistakes that you need to avoid.
17. HUMAN APPROPRIATION OF NET PRIMARY PRODUCTION
CREDIT : NASA
This figure shows the global distribution of resource consumption as measured
by the amount of net primary production (NPP) appropriated by humans. Global
annual NPP refers to the total amount of plant growth generated each year.
Plant growth may be measured in terms of grams of carbon used to build stems,
leaves and roots. The darker areas on the map indicate greater appropriation of
NPP by humans.
18. PERCENT OF NET PRIMARY PRODUCTION APPROPRIATED BY
HUMANS
CREDIT : NASA
This figure shows human appropriation of net primary production (NPP) as a
percentage of the local NPP. The map provides insight into the percent of plant
resource used by people in an area compared to the amount of plant resource
that is actually available locally.
19. So the challenge is :
“How we can maintain the highest possible
production of food and fibre while still preserving our
biological assets in the face of global change”
20. This is can be done only by better management of
Earth's rich biological heritage .
For the better management we have to understand
patterns of consumption, and how the planetary
supply of plant life relates to the demand for it .
21. Understanding the patterns of supply and demand is
critical for identifying areas of severe human impact
on ecosystems and planning for future growth.
22. And the INDIA is coming under that regions with
greater demands than available plant-derived
resources.
Thus this regions like INDIA may be more vulnerable
to climate change and other socio-economic impacts
in the near future.
