Abstract: Agriculture is a vital sector in India's economy, but the escalating demand for food has caused significant environmental challenges, particularly due to the incineration of agricultural residues. Annually, India produces approximately 500-550 million tons of such waste, with around 85 million tons burned, contributing to air pollution and climate change. This paper explores how mushroom farming utilizing agricultural waste as a substrate could serve........

KeyWord: Agricultural waste, environmental impact, mushroom cultivation, sustainability, waste management, circular economy, rural development etc

Abstract: Assessment of physico-chemical parameters and population of phytoplankton in Shalmala Lake and Unkal Lake were undertaken from the month of April 2024 to June 2024. Ten physico-chemical parameters were studied. This analysis included the measurement of physical parameters like air and water temperature, pH and electrical conductivity as well as chemical parameters such as dissolved oxygen (DO), free CO2, Biological oxygen demand (BOD), total hardness......

KeyWord: Unkal lake, Shalmala lake, physico-chemical parameters, phytoplankton, Eutrophication

Abstract: First generation of biofuel like ethanol obtained from sources like sugarcane and corn were replaced by second generation of fuel from cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin which are chiefly based on non-food-based sources. Countries generating vast amount of agricultural and animal-based waste products started using these as sources for biofuel production. This study mainly focuses on utilizing tapioca-based material as source of generation of biofuel. Studies were conducted to devise methods for efficient, high yielding and cost-effective process for biogas generation.....

Abstract: Climate change poses a serious threat to the agricultural livelihoods of smallholder farmers in developing economies. This study analyzes the socioeconomic determinants of climate change adaptation strategies among small-scale crop farmers in Limpopo Province, South Africa. A total of 156 respondents involved in avocado and tomato cultivation were selected using a multistage sampling technique. Data was analyzed using descriptive statistics and a multinomial logistic regression model. The results showed that 67.9% of the farmers were male, 55.1%.....
