Farmers In India: Impact of Minimum Support Price, Exploitation in Mandis, and Conditions Leading to Distress Selling
Abstract: Indian agriculture remains dominated by small and marginal farmers who face persistent income insecurity despite the existence of the Minimum Support Price (MSP) system. The MSP, designed to provide remunerative prices and food‑security procurement, has produced significant benefits in select regions and crops—especially wheat and paddy in states like Punjab, Haryana, and Madhya Pradesh. However, its coverage is uneven, with many farmers in pulses, oilseeds, and horticulture regions selling below …

COVID-19 Impacts on Agriculture and Food Security
Abstract: COVID-19 and lockdown originally had the effect that the shift in demand curve to the left resulted in "leveling off" the prices of agricultural produce. The reason for this was not the lack of demand due to rising prices. The reason for this was that due to their consumption being limited to homes and lack of workers, most companies were forced to reduce production in their factories. The coronavirus pandemic …

Biofertilizers: Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow
Abstract: India, being an agriculture-based country, there has always been a concern about crop improvement here. Chemical fertilizers increased crops yield, but eventually leached out soil, polluted water basins, degraded ecosystems, reducing soil fertility and thus causing damage to overall environment. Organic fertilizers are costlier and they released nutrients in the surrounding environment thus degrading soil and water quality and human health. Thus came into picture the use of GM crops …

Linseed Released Varieties Adaptation Trial at Sidama and Hadya Zones of Ethiopia
Abstract: Among oil crops, linseed is the third important commodity next to sesame (Sesamumindicum L.) and noug (Guizotiaabyssinica Cass.) in Ethiopia. Testing the adaptability of a variety over diverse environments is commonly evaluated by the degree of its interaction with different environments in which it is grown. An evaluation experiment was conducted in three districts, namely, Bule (Gedeo zone), Dara (Sidama zone) and Hosanna (Hadiya zone), Southern Ethiopia, during 2018 and …
