Agriculture is central to overall development of humankind and plays a decisive role in the timely realization several UN-Sustainable Development Goals. Nevertheless, agriculture largest nonpoint source pollution primarily due rampant use agrochemicals, contributes ~34% annual greenhouse gases emission globally. Agricultural practices are also one major drivers global biodiversity loss, exerts heavy footprint on water amounting 70% world's freshwater withdrawal annually. As per projections...
Ensuring the food and nutritional demand of ever-growing human population is a major sustainability challenge for humanity in this Anthropocene. The cultivation climate resilient, adaptive underutilized wild crops along with modern crop varieties proposed as an innovative strategy managing future agricultural production under changing environmental conditions. Such neglected have been recently projected by Food Agricultural Organization United Nations ‘future smart crops’ they are not only...
Pumpkin (Cucurbita moschata L.) is an economically important crop cultivated for its nutritional value and diverse uses. The present study focuses on understanding the relationships among yield attributing traits in identifying key contributors to improvement. Eighteen genotypes of pumpkin were examined Randomized Complete Block Design with three replication correlation path coefficient analysis. Correlation analysis showed that genotypic coefficients generally higher than phenotypic ones,...
This paper explores the significant contributions of biotechnology and molecular biology to aquaculture fisheries. It highlights role in enhancing fish breeding through selective genetic engineering, including transgenesis, which improves growth rates disease resistance. Additionally, chapter examines advancements management, emphasizing development vaccines diagnostics that enhance health minimize reliance on antibiotics. The optimizing nutrition alternative feed sources is also discussed,...
This editorial article provides a brief overview of various articles published in the Special Issue: Managing Agroecosystems for Food and Nutrition Security.
Legumes are one of the important crops for food and nutritional security. According to International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources Food Agriculture, collection documentation promising germplasms essential creating global database also facilitating exchange crop improvement further exploitation. Presented here varietal dataset an agriculturally legume, Lablab purpureus (L.) Sweet, collected from eastern Uttar Pradesh North India. Extensive field surveys were conducted studying occurrence...
The world population is projected to become 10 billion by the end of this century. This growing exerts tremendous pressure on our finite food resources. Unfortunately, lion-share global calorie intake reliant upon a handful plant species like rice, wheat, maize, soybean and potato. Therefore, it need hour expand dietary reliance nutritionally rich but neglected, underutilized yet-to-be-used wild plants. Many plants are also having ethnomedicinal biocultural significance. Owing their...
A field experiment was conducted to find out the response of polymers and biofertilizers on yield quality soybean (Glycine max L. Merrill) under rainfed condition at Institute Agricultural Sciences, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh, India during 2015-16. The laid-out in split-plot design consisting three levels polymer (Control, 5 kg/ha Nano clay-polymer composite (NCPC) Hydrogel) mainplots four biofertilizer inoculation Rhizobium japonicum, Phosphate Solubilising Bacteria...
A study was carried out to investigate the nutritional composition of four different fish species (Wallago attu, Labeo rohita, Pangasianodon hypophthalmus, and Rastrelliger kanagurta) sourced from inland marine sector comprising both culture capture fisheries marketed in Ludhiana market September 2021 August 2022, encompassing distinct seasons: post-monsoon, winter, pre-monsoon, monsoon. The proximate parameters including protein, lipid, carbohydrate, ash moisture content were analysed...
Meeting food and nutritional security needs for a growing population is global sustainability challenge due to the heavy reliance on few cultivated crops dietary requirements across world. To ensure local security, it imperative diversify options with locally available, neglected, underutilized (NUCs) biocultural significance. In this context, present study aims explore role of NUCs nutritional, ethnomedicinal, agricultural relevance in two districts eastern Uttar Pradesh, i.e., Mirzapur...
