Smart Gardening: Simplified Seed Sowing Techniques
Abstract: The primary objective of the exhibiting operation is to plant seed and fertilizer in rows at the proper depth and seed-to-seed spacing, cover the seeds with soil, and make sure there is enough compaction over the seed. To get the maximum yields, different recommended row-to-row spacing, seed rate, seed-to-seed spacing, and depth of seed placement are required for different agro-climatic conditions and crop kinds. A comparative analysis is conducted between …

Assessing Land Degradation and Restoration: Strategies for Sustainable Management
Abstract: Land degradation, defined as the loss of land quality and productivity, is a major danger to global food security, biodiversity, and water resources. This article investigates the numerous variables that contribute to land degradation, including deforestation, soil erosion, and land pollution. It emphasizes the urgent need for restoration efforts that focus on rehabilitating degraded lands through practices such as reforestation and agroforestry. Furthermore, the incorporation of climate-smart agriculture techniques is …

Atmospheric Determinants of Feed, Fodder, and Forage Contamination in a Changing Climate: Emerging Challenges for Sustainable Livestock Production
Abstract: Feed, fodder, and forage contamination represents a growing constraint to sustainable livestock production under a changing climate. Atmospheric determinants such as rising temperature, altered precipitation patterns, increased humidity, elevated carbon dioxide concentration, and enhanced aerosol and pollutant loads are increasingly recognized as critical drivers of contamination risks across feed supply chains. These atmospheric factors directly and indirectly influence crop growth, fungal proliferation, mycotoxin biosynthesis, microbial survival, and the deposition of …

Integrating Livestock for Enhancing Sustainability of Soil, Water and Agroecosystem: Implications from a One Health Perspective
Abstract: Livestock systems play a pivotal role in sustaining environmental health, enhancing ecosystem services, and supporting agricultural productivity. Well-managed integration of livestock into agroecosystems contributes to soil fertility through organic matter deposition, microbial stimulation, and nutrient cycling, while improving soil structure and long-term productivity. Grazing and pasture management regulate water infiltration, retention, and hydrological balance, mitigating soil erosion and enhancing water-use efficiency. Livestock also promote biodiversity by maintaining habitat heterogeneity, facilitating …

Diversity and Sustainability: The Role of Traditional Fruit Trees in Uttarakhand Agricultural Landscape
Abstract: Uttarakhand state is characterized by a rich diversity of traditional fruit trees. Uttarakhand is largely a mountainous state, with only around 10% of its overall geographical area being plains, and more than three-quarters (78%) of its total people relying on agriculture for survival. The state's geographical features and climatic circumstances are suited for growing temperate and subtropical fruit crops. It provides a variety of agro-geoclimatic conditions that are ideal for …

Biodiversity Loss and Its Impact on Dietary Land Diversity and Nutritional Status: A Comprehensive Review
Abstract: Habitat destruction, climate change, overexploitation, and agricultural intensification contribute to the current predicament in global food systems: Loss of biodiversity means less plant and animal species to be utilized. This study examines and synthesizes the available literature in PubMed and Scopus on how losses in biodiversity adversely affect people’s diets and nutritional status, especially in the case of malnutrition and missing key micronutrients of certain demographic cohorts. Principal factors are …
