Abstract:

Abstract Maize refers to one of the major food crops worldwide. Its yield has a direct effect on global food security. Moreover, cultivated lands in the world have been undergoing serious degradation. In the present study, field experiments were performed in the middle of Jilin, China. A novel maize cultivating method, combining drip irrigation under film mulch cultivation and high photosynthetic efficient cultivation, is presented. NUE, WUE, accumulated temperature, plant growth and yield were determined in high photosynthetic efficient cultivation with drip irrigation under mulch and with there being under the mulch transparent and black film, respectively. As revealed from the results, the high photosynthetic efficient cultivation based on drip irrigation cultivation could increase the yield of rain-fed treatment by 53%; high photosynthetic efficient cultivation with drip irrigation under film mulch cultivation could also improve NUE and WUE compared with conventional drip irrigation under film mulch cultivation; transparent mulch could more significantly raise the soil temperature than black mulching, as well as improving the maize yield. The present study presents a novel planting mode in accordance with reliable theory to sustainably develop maize.

Abstract:

The worldwide sustenance and wholesome security of the expanding population is a generous test, which searches for new harvest (better yield from conventional ones) as a wellspring of nourishment sustenance and recoveries from malnutrition and food scarcity. Alluding to it, mushrooms discover some help which can be developed even via landless individuals, that too on decaying material and could be a source for proteinaceous sustenance. Metric huge amounts of natural waste and buildups are created every year which can possibly be reused as a substrate for mushroom cultivation. Mushroom cultivation being an indoor movement, requires less work and benefit adventure gives abundant chances to jobless.

Abstract:

Nine strains of solventogenic clostridia including the species C. acetobutylicum, C. beijerinckii, C. pasteurianum, and C. saccharoperbutylacetonicum were tested for the solvents production using potato, maize, and sugar beet molasses as substrates. The solvent concentrations reached in the cultivations with maize and molasses media (15.23 g/l and 13.70 g/l, respectively) looked promising. Based on the screening experiments, the strain C. acetobutylicum DSM 1731 was selected for further experiments in the laboratory bioreactor using the maize medium. The results achieved in this batch cultivation (total solvents concentration 12.91 g/l, the yield from maize starch 22%, the solvents formation productivity 0.22 g/l/h, and the ratio of B:A:E approximately 2:1:0) imply the potential of maize as an energetic crop for the biofuel production. In addition, whey protein concentrate was tested as a possible replacement of the usual but expensive media components, i.e. yeast autolysate and/or trypton, and it was confirmed that these substitutes functioned well in the glucose medium.

Abstract:

The Forest Savanna Transition zone within which the Upper Afram basin lies, account for a wide variety of food crops and plant species. This study examined the effects of changing agricultural practices on cultivation and availability of indigenous food crops within the basin. Qualitative data obtained from 240 farmers through individual interviews and Focus group discussions were analyzed thematically. The study revealed that even though the farmers employed the traditional mixed cropping system, the widespread use of agro-chemicals in the study area was limiting the practice of intercropping. This accounts for the current dominance of mono cropping system in the study area. These changes have affected the cultivation of a wide variety of indigenous foods within the basin. The uncontrolled use of agro-chemicals constituted one of the major agronomic constraints affecting the cultivation of these crops. Adequate technical support services to effectively control agrochemical abuse among the local farmers will, therefore, be required. Increased sensitization on the need for local farmers to refocus and maintain some of the traditional agricultural practices that ensured the cultivation of a wide variety of indigenous food crop varieties (NUCS) in their farms is also suggested.

Abstract:

Budikdamber is cultivating fish and vegetables in one bucket, which is an aquaponic system. Usually, the aquaponics system developed so far requires pumps and filters, requiring electricity, ample land, expensive and complicated costs. The concept is simple and does not require significant capital, and it does not need a large room or pool to be an added value of this technology. The Budikdamber technique can be one of the community's solutions to innovate fish and vegetable cultivation at once in one container. In addition, with the current state of the COVID-19 pandemic, Budikdamber activities can be a solution for family food security. Community service was carried out in Fitu Village, South Ternate District, in June 2021. The objectives of this community service are Providing information to the public on how to use the narrow land on the terraces and yards for fish and vegetable cultivation in buckets so that people can maintain food security during the current COVID-19 pandemic.

Abstract:

Whether biotechnology is one or several developments is not clear. Once distinctions are required, the question is: Which one prevails? When the good, the bad, and the ugly settle, where do they fall? Evaluation implies distinction, and representation drives attitude. The controversies over biotechnology are fertile ground on which to study these issues. The imports of genetically modified (GM) soya into Europe in 1996-97 and the cloning of Dolly the sheep from adult cells in 1997 changed the symbolic environment for genetic engineering. The ensuing public controversies came to focus mainly on field trials of GM crops and food labeling. This paper will explore the relationship between quality press coverage and public perception, in particular the cultivation of the contrast between “desirable” biomedical (RED) and “undesirable” agri-food (GREEN) biotechnology in Britain. The argument draws on a systematic analysis of the British press coverage of biotechnology from 1973 to 1999 and analysis of public perceptions in 1996 and 1999. The paper concludes that the debate over GM crops and food ingredients fostered the RED-GREEN contrast among the newspaper-reading public, thereby shielding RED biotechnology from public controversy, and ushered in a realignment of the regulatory framework in 2000.

Abstract:

Pulses (food legumes) occupy an important place in Indian agriculture. It provides food, nutrition and Environmental security in bringing income and employment opportunity through various improved technological interventions. Being the largest producer and consumer of pulses, India has to import 3-4 mt of pulses every year to meet its domestic demand. There is an urgent need to increase both productivity and production of pulses to bridge the gap between demand and supply. India needs to provide 39 mt of pulses with the availability of 52 g capita-1 day-1 of 1.69 billion people in the projected year of 2050. An additional area of 3-5 mha has to be brought under pulses with a productivity of 1200 kg ha1 against the current productivity of 841 kg ha1. New research efforts should be attempted to achieve a breakthrough in productivity of pulses. Development of widely adaptable short duration varieties with biotic and abiotic stress resistance, participation of rural youths in producing good quality seeds and establishing village seed hubs, preparation of value added products by women farmers in SHGs, raising minimum support price (MSP) and ensuring procurement are the key factors towards achieving self sufficiency in pulse production. This will increase income, combat malnutrition and provide employment for better livelihood of the resource poor farmers.

Abstract:

Mushroom, a nutrient-dense versatile food can share some of the benefits of fruits and vegetable and complement almost any everyday meal. Mushroom cultivation also requires low technology, low investment and can be grown in very little space. Due to culinary, nutritional and health benefits, the mushroom market is expected to grow as a food, a tonic and a medicine. In the study food value of mushroom was found comparatively higher than that of other vegetables, fruits, meat and fish. This discussion suggests that the potentiality of mushroom cultivation could be a possible offer to alternate food and develop the life style of the people.

Abstract:

Introduction. Due to the trend of avoiding antibiotics and acquiring eco-friendly products, the use of environmentally safe preparations is becoming increasingly relevant in poultry farming. Study objects and methods. We used Salmonella enteritidis and Campylobacter jejuni isolated from poultry carcasses. At the first in vitro stage, we studied the ability of mannan oligosaccharides, isolated from the cell walls of Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast, to adsorb bacterial pathogens. At the second stage, we studied the influence of fraction on the activity, colonization and microflora composition of ducklings’ intestines. At the third stage, we determined the antagonistic activity of Bifidobacterium spp. (Bifidobacterium lactis, Bifidobacterium longum, Bifidobacterium bifidum) and Lactobacillus spp. (Lactobacillus fermentun, Lactobacillus salivarius, Lactobacillus acidophilus) against Salmonella enteritidis and Campylobacter jejuni isolates. The experiment was conducted on the ducklings of Star 53 H.Y. cross. Their diet was supplemented with probiotics, prebiotics, and their combination. Results and discussion. In vitro studies showed the ability of mannan oligosaccharides isolated from the cell walls of Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast to adsorb Salmonella enteritidis and Campylobacter jejun. In vivo experiment showed the ability of mannan oligosaccharides to prevent colonization of poultry intestines by bacterial pathogens with type I fimbriae. Conclusion. The reisolation rate of ducks infected with Salmonella enteritidis was 53.6% lower, and those infected with Campylobacter jejuni, 66.2% lower than the control. Mannan oligosaccharides added to the diet did not affect the concentration of lactobacilli, enterococci, and anaerobic bacteria in the ducks’ intestines. A combined use of Bifidobacterium spp. and mannan oligosaccharides improved the preservation of poultry stock by 8.7%, which made it an effective way to prevent poultry salmonellosis.

Abstract:

Sorghum is an important alternative food commodity for some rural communities in East Nusa Tenggata (NTT). This research is to find out the determinants of farmers' responses to the cultivation and utilization of sorghum in the research area. This study involved 30 respondents in sorghum cultivation and 30 respondents from non-sorghum cultivation which were found intentionally. Using survey methods to obtain data. Data were analyzed using the logistic regression model. The results of the study found that the factors that significantly influenced the cultivation and utilization of sorghum were non-formal education factors and the number of family dependents. This finding indicates that sorghum is used as an alternative food if staple food is reduced (entering a famine). The public needs to be educated and advocated that sorghum is not only used as an alternative food commodity in case of food shortages, but sorghum has high nutritional value and is easy to cultivate. Government intervention and the role of the community need to be increased in educating and advocating for farmers.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Improving food and nutritional diversity based on the diversity of traditional plant-based foods is an important dietary strategy to address the challenges of rapidly emerging diet- and lifestyle-linked noncommunicable chronic diseases (NCDs) of indigenous communities worldwide. Restoration of native ecosystems, revival of traditional food crop cultivation, and revival of traditional knowledge of food preparation, processing, and preservation are important steps to build dietary support strategies against an NCD epidemic of contemporary indigenous communities. Recent studies have indicated that many traditional plant-based foods of Native Americans provide a rich source of human health–relevant bioactive compounds with diverse health benefits. Based on this rationale of health benefits of traditional plant-based foods, the objective of this review is to present a state-of-the-art comprehensive framework for ecologically and culturally relevant sustainable strategies to restore and integrate the traditional plant food diversity of Native Americans to address the NCD challenges of indigenous and wider nonindigenous communities worldwide.

Abstract:

Cowpeas ( Vigna unguiculata (L.) Walp.) are an important native African legume crop, whose seeds are sold in local urban and rural markets. West Africa is the main centre of diversity for cowpeas. Nigeria is the world's largest producer and second in acreage. The production trend shows a significant improvement of cowpea cultivation in this country from 1961 to 1995. In this period, Nigerian cowpea production increased by 441% according to available statistics of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO). This paper discusses the evolution of cowpea production from the early 1960s until recent years in Nigeria, along with new technology for cultivation (for example, improved cultivars) of this crop developed by the International Institute of Tropical Agriculture (IITA) in Nigeria.

Abstract:

ABSTRACTThis paper describes the microfluidic streak plate (MSP), a facile method for high-throughput microbial cell separation and cultivation in nanoliter sessile droplets. The MSP method builds upon the conventional streak plate technique by using microfluidic devices to generate nanoliter droplets that can be streaked manually or robotically onto petri dishes prefilled with carrier oil for cultivation of single cells. In addition, chemical gradients could be encoded in the droplet array for comprehensive dose-response analysis. The MSP method was validated by using single-cell isolation ofEscherichia coliand antimicrobial susceptibility testing ofPseudomonas aeruginosaPAO1. The robustness of the MSP work flow was demonstrated by cultivating a soil community that degrades polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Cultivation in droplets enabled detection of the richest species diversity with better coverage of rare species. Moreover, isolation and cultivation of bacterial strains by MSP led to the discovery of several species with high degradation efficiency, including fourMycobacteriumisolates and a previously unknown fluoranthene-degradingBlastococcusspecies.

Abstract:

AbstractCollecting seeds and specimens was an integral aspect of botany and natural history in the eighteenth century. Historians have until recently paid less attention to the importance of collecting, trading and compiling knowledge of their cultivation, but knowing how to grow and maintain plants free from disease was crucial to agricultural and botanical projects. This is particularly true in the case of food security. At the close of the eighteenth century, European diets (particularly among the poor) began shifting from wheat- to potato-dependence. In Britain and Ireland during these decades, extensive crop damage was caused by diseases like ‘curl’ and ‘dry rot’ – leading many agriculturists and journal editors to begin collecting data on potato cultivation in order to answer practical questions about the causes of disease and methods that might mitigate or even eliminate their appearance. Citizens not only produced the bulk of these data, but also used agricultural print culture and participation in surveys to shape and direct the interpretation of these data. This article explores this forgotten scientific ambition to harness agricultural citizen science in order to bring stability and renewed vitality to the potato plant and its cultivation. I argue that while many agriculturists did recognize that reliance upon the potato brought with it unique threats to the food supplies of Britain and Ireland, their views on this threat were wholly determined by the belief that the diseases attacking potato plants in Europe had largely been produced or encouraged by erroneous cultivation methods.

Abstract:

In increasingly competitive conditions, the dominant trend of enlarging the production area of farms is causing a growth in transportation costs making the profitability of cultivating distant plots questionable. The aim of this study was to provide a method to evaluate the rationality of using a plot depending on its distance, area and cultivation technology. An algorithm and a mathematical model were composed to calculate the total costs depending on the distance to the plot. The transportation costs of machines and materials, cost of organisational travel and timeliness costs are taken into account in the model to enable determination of the maximum distance or the minimum area of the plot necessary for profitable cultivation. Simulations allow us to conclude that the growth in yield and selling price of the production allow an increase in the limit value of driving costs and, thus, the profitable distance of the plot; on the other hand, it means also an increase of timeliness costs as a limitation for extending distance. Exploitation of more distant plots can be uneconomical in coming years because of increasing fuel costs.;

Abstract:

Mushroom cultivation is rapidly expanding in Brazil because Brazilians have discovered the medicinal and culinary value of mushrooms and their economic situation has improved. However, the horticultural technology for cultivating mushrooms under Brazilian conditions is lacking. For many years, the mushroom cultivation technology used in Brazil was adapted from developed countries whose materials and climate were different from those of Brazil. In order to exploit the Brazilian potential for mushroom cultivation it is essential to develop cultivation technology for family owned and operated rustic farms as well as for modern large scale industrial operations. Mushroom species cultivated in Brazil are discussed and some approaches for future research are suggested.

Abstract:

This article describes how among different oilseeds, rapeseed and soybean contain considerable amounts of protein and oil and have a specific role in agriculture and supplying food. Optimizing the cultivation areas of rapeseed and soybean based on sustainability factors will improve their productivity, economic, environmental, and social objectives. The goal of the present article is to investigate the background for cultivation of these two types of seeds using a data envelopment analysis (DEA) method. Sustainable development criteria including economic, climatic and social criteria are considered in assessing the candidate locations for cultivating soybean and rapeseed by DEA model. The proposed method is applied in Iran. The Principle Component Analysis (PCA) method is used to verify and validate the results of DEA model. Results show that the DEA model can be used as a powerful tool to optimize the cultivation areas of soybean and rapeseed.

Abstract:

ABSTRACT Prolonged cultivation (>25 generations) of Saccharomyces cerevisiae in aerobic, maltose-limited chemostat cultures led to profound physiological changes. Maltose hypersensitivity was observed when cells from prolonged cultivations were suddenly exposed to excess maltose. This substrate hypersensitivity was evident from massive cell lysis and loss of viability. During prolonged cultivation at a fixed specific growth rate, the affinity for the growth-limiting nutrient (i.e., maltose) increased, as evident from a decreasing residual maltose concentration. Furthermore, the capacity of maltose-dependent proton uptake increased up to 2.5-fold during prolonged cultivation. Genome-wide transcriptome analysis showed that the increased maltose transport capacity was not primarily due to increased transcript levels of maltose-permease genes upon prolonged cultivation. We propose that selection for improved substrate affinity (ratio of maximum substrate consumption rate and substrate saturation constant) in maltose-limited cultures leads to selection for cells with an increased capacity for maltose uptake. At the same time, the accumulative nature of maltose-proton symport in S. cerevisiae leads to unrestricted uptake when maltose-adapted cells are exposed to a substrate excess. These changes were retained after isolation of individual cell lines from the chemostat cultures and nonselective cultivation, indicating that mutations were involved. The observed trade-off between substrate affinity and substrate tolerance may be relevant for metabolic engineering and strain selection for utilization of substrates that are taken up by proton symport.

Abstract:

As the world is facing challenges due to climate change and food insecurity, millet has proven its adaptivity to adverse agro-climates such as poor soil, minimal water, and significant weather variation. The present study attempts to assess the cultivation and consumption of millet in the tribal region. Hence, the tribally dominated Koraput district has been chosen as the study area. It is based on a primary survey of 150 millet cultivators. Although finger millet cultivation has been taken up by the farmers, it is mostly done for household consumption rather than sale at market. However, it is known that millet cultivation generates significant returns. Hence, farmers prefer to cultivate paddy instead of millet for commercial sales due to procurement and productivity issues, marketing problems. Furthermore, though millet along with rice is the staple food for a tribal household, rice consumption is highest in the food basket. This is prevalent as rice is being sold by the government at a very subsidised price. Hence, a proper strategy focussed on revamping millet cultivation and consumption would be beneficial in the fight against food insecurity and climate change, particularly in the tribal regions.

Abstract:

Dramatic increases during the 1980s in agricultural production, particularly in the developing world, are due to both the increased area under cultivation and growth in yields per unit area. However, growth in food production has failed to keep pace with population growth in the majority of countries surveyed, and especially in Africa. Changes in rural infrastructure, agricultural technology, environmental management and government policy will influence food production in the future, while food consumption patterns in developing countries will change as a result of population growth, urbanization and changing lifestyles. Shortfalls are likely to occur, especially in Africa, where the availability of new land for cultivation is declining. The pressures on food production will rise, unless efforts are increased to reduce population growth.

Abstract:

Infrastructure development and ProRLK (deforested Land Rehabilitation Project) a Government of Indonesia collaboration prpject with The German Technical Coorperation Agency (GTZ) in 1992, has shifted the pattern of shifting cultivation to rubber farming in Nagari Silayang. Households engaged in shifting cultivation for food needs, stopped this entrenched practice, and focused on rubber plantations for food needs and financial means. But in recent years, the practice of shifting cultivation has been rife in Nagari Silayang. This phenomenon refutes the theory of agricultural transformastion in many previous studies, which concluded that shifting agricultural patterns lead to patterns that increasingly leave shifting cultivation. The purpose of this study, is to find the factors that cause farm households in Nagari Silayang to return to shifting cultivation, and find ways or strategies to stop forest clearing for swidden land. The research method used is descriptive qualitative and quantitative. Data collection uses observation, key informant interviews and household surveys. the results showed that the revival of shifting cultivation in Nagari Silayang was caused by the decline in global rubber prices, maintaining food security, and efforts to increase household income. This will have an impact on biodiversity damage and even natural disasters, because old forests are converted to agricultural land. This leads to negative impacts on biodiversity and can result in natural disasters, as old forests are converted to agricultural land.

Abstract:

Purpose Nowadays, hydroponic cultivation represents a widely used agricultural methodology. The purpose of this paper is to study comparatively on hydroponic substrates. This study is highlighting the best substrate to be involved in hydroponic systems, considering its costs and its sustainability. Design/methodology/approach Seven substrates were evaluated: rock wool, perlite, vermiculite, peat, coconut fibres, bark and sand. Life cycle assessment (life cycle inventory, life cycle impact assessment (LCIA) and life cycle costing (LCC)) was applied to evaluate the environmental and economic impact. Through the results of the impacts, the carbon footprint of each substrate was calculated. Findings Perlite is the most impacting substrate, as highlighted by LCIA, followed by rock wool and vermiculite. The most sustainable ones, instead, are sand and bark. Sand has the lower carbon footprint (0.0121 kg CO2 eq.); instead, bark carbon footprint results in one of the highest (1.1197 kg CO2 eq.), while in the total impact analysis this substrate seems to be highly sustainable. Also for perlite the two results are in disagreement: it has a high total impact but very low carbon footprint (0.0209 kg CO2 eq.) compared to the other substrates. From the LCC analysis it appears that peat is the most expensive substrate (€6.67/1,000 cm3), while sand is the cheaper one (€0.26/1,000 cm3). Originality/value The LCA and carbon footprint methodologies were applied to a growing agriculture practice. This study has highlighted the economic and environmental sustainability of seven substrates examined. This analysis has shown that sand can be the best substrate to be involved in hydroponic systems by considering its costs and its sustainability.

Abstract:

Globalization is, directly and indirectly, contributing to its effect in all sectors of an economy. The agricultural sector is not exempted from the effect of change due to globalization as a component of the primary sector and a prime sector for human survival needs. The status of self-sufficient in the production of food grain will lead a nation to make a walk of pride among the other member globally. India is an agro-economy. In other words, agriculture is the backbone of the Indian economy. So the production of food grain and its cultivation and yield should be normally high to meet out the demand of a growing population. Also, with the implementation of a policy of globalization, there might be some change in cultivation, production, and yield of food grains in India. In this paper, an attempt was made to examine/ identify the change in area under cultivation, yield, and production by using the secondary sources of data from 1970 to 2017. The selected breakeven point of time was 1991-1992. The annual growth rate pictured the change in a particular point of time; the linear and quadratic model gave the growth over the period selected for the study, and dummy used regression model presented the difference in structural change. AGR results dominated by the negative growth rate; the linear growth model for production depicts that 3.6 percentage of tons of production will be move when a year moves upward. The area under cultivation is deteriorating in AGR, and other models used gave a weakness in explanatory level concerning time for the area under cultivation of food grain. Regarding the obtained results for yield reflect that a positive change exists after globalization, even though a reduction in area under cultivation.

Abstract:

In recent times, with the globalization of markets, shrinking of land and climate change, food basket diversification, increase in demand for nutrient-rich food, the protected cultivation of high-value crops (HVCs) have assumed a pivotal role in augmenting higher crop productivity and profitability and enhancing nutritional security of the growing population. In this context, a study was undertaken to analyze the impact of protected cultivation in horticultural crops in the districts of Almora and Dehradun in the Uttarakhand state. It was mainly based on primary data obtained through a primary survey and focus group discussion with the 96 farmers practicing protected cultivation by using a well-structured and pre-tested questionnaire. In economic analysis, the project analysis tools were used to assess the feasibility of the protected cultivation. The study clearly demonstrated that the cultivation of vegetables and flowers under protected cultivation is a highly profitable enterprise. However, the findings of the study indicated that the subsidy scheme needs to be continued to encourage maximum farmers to adopt protected cultivation and farmers need to be encouraged to form farmers producers organizations (FPOs), which would help them in seeking better quality of inputs and enhancing negotiating power in the market to realize maximum returns for their farm produce.
