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...
Global agricultural production is accountable for the emission of ~30% greenhouse gases. Therefore, wide-scale adoptions low-input, soil-friendly, and resource-conserving agronomic practices are imperative ‘planet healthy food production’ also reducing carbon emissions from soil. In this context, present study aimed to analyze impacts integrated interventions i.e., application arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) + reduced tillage (RT), biochar RT, AMF on spatiotemporal variations in...
Abstract Peatlands are crucial yet vulnerable carbon stores. Here, we investigated biogeochemical processes in tropical peatlands converted to plantations. We measured dioxide (CO 2 ) and methane (CH 4 concentrations, stable isotope ratios radiocarbon content an experimental Acacia crassicarpa plantation Sumatra, Indonesia. found exceptionally high levels of dissolved organic (DOC), CO , CH porewater drainage networks, indicating that plantations hotspots due their productivity exposed...
As the world approaches achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and moving towards a low-carbon economy, sustainable finance is acknowledged as key ingredient. With focus on how may be used to redirect capital flows environmental, social, governance (ESG) goals, this study examines theoretical foundations of finance. The primary challenge with using achieve SDGs overcoming barriers like inadequate regulations, inconsistent ESG indicators, poor data transparency. These issues hampers...
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...
ABSTRACT The essential oil extracted from the leaves of Amomum subulatum Roxb. (Zingiberaceae) has been evaluated for efficacy in control mango fruit rotting due to fungal infections. A. exhibited absolute antifungal activity against two fungi viz. Botryodiplodia theobromae Pat. and Colletotrichum gloeosporioides Penz, common storage causing stem end rot anthracnose disease fruits. showed its fungitoxicity at minimum inhibitory concentration 500 µL/L. Its fungitoxic potency did not alter...
