Subject: Export of fishery products from India: status, challenges and the way forward
Keywords: Aquaculture, food safety, shrimp export, SPS measures, value addition.
Abstract: Marine products have remained a consistent and leading foreign exchange earner to India for a long time. This study analyses the status and trend in marine products export from India and sketches the way ahead. Augmenting exports without hampering domestic nutritional security calls for enhancing domestic fish production through science-based culture practices, promoting value addition, improving quality assurance systems and effecting enabling policy changes.

Keywords: Revisiting the science of agronomy, crop production, crop management
Abstract: Addressing the emerging challenges of agriculture demands reorienting the agricultural education in general and agronomy education in particular. Crop husbandry has been evolving constantly, although academically and, for different operational purposes, agronomy science and academia have remained far more static than they should have been. This note emphasizes that the science of agronomy must include all the important aspects of crop management so that agronomists/students can attain better comprehension in wider perspective so that the goal of agronomy can be realized in the current context of changing crop husbandry

Subject: Agroforestry solutions for zero hunger and net zero climate targets
Keywords: Agroforestry solutions, zero hunger, net zero climate targets.
Abstract: Transitioning to a net-zero world is one of the greatest challenges humanity may face across the world. Nonetheless, land-based carbon removal actions are vital to meet net-zero targets but involve significant trade-offs that may risk food security. The potential increase in demand for land in the near future for land-based climate mitigation methods across India could certainly threaten the right to land and food, especially for people and communities whose livelihoods depend on land. In the context of global efforts to address and combat the climate crisis and to improve food security, agroforestry is a sustainable land use with immense potential to achieve significant impact and synergy across priorities

Subject: Conservation of Mangrove forests for fighting coastal disasters and carbon emissions
Keywords: Conservation of Mangrove forests, coastal disasters, carbon emissions
Abstract: India's rich coastline, spanning across 7,500 km in 13 maritime mainland states and union territories, supports coastal and marine ecosystems that are rich in biodiversity. Mangroves are a part of these ecosystems. In India, mangrove forests have a long history of being one of the most biologically rich regions. India also holds 3 per cent of the mangrove cover of the world. Considered as wastelands in the past, large tracts of mangrove land were rampantly destroyed. As a result, between the years 1980 and 2000, mangroves declined massively. The Pichavaram mangroves in southern India reduced by almost 80 per cent during this time.

Abstract: In a study published in December 2017 in Proceedings of the Royal Society B, Simone Tosi, James Nieh, and their colleagues used honeybees due to their important role as agricultural pollinators and 'bioindicators' of environmental quality. The researchers studied how honeybees fared with exposure to neonicotinoids-pesticides broadly used in agriculture-along with limited nutrient sources, scenarios that are commonly found in agricultural areas.

Abstract: That which was revered as a success story in the history of wildlife conservation, has, of late, received immense criticism from the global media. An international tribal people's rights body even came forward with a boycott call against the abode of the greater one-horned rhinoceros, claiming that the infamous Indian forest reserve had slowly turned into a killing field of innocent tribal people in the name of wildlife protection.

Abstract: We have known for a long time that trees and plants play an important role in the fight against climate change and global warming. Instinctively, we have known that the destruction of jungles and forest contributes to the overall degradation of the environment and an increased heating of our planet. Environmental activists, climate scientists, and the concerned people, have been advocating the planting of trees and fighting deforestation for many decades.

The Ranthambhore Tiger Reserve is spread across roughly 1,411 sq.km and is home to at least 40 tigers. It is connected to four other protected areas through degraded and fragmented forests and, collectively, this forest network spans more than 30,000 sq.km in Rajasthan and Madhya Pradesh

Abstract: Due to lack of data, the problem of waste management is loosely defined. No authentic data is available on the amount of waste India produces annually. Drawing data from the survey of 59 cities conducted by the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) and census data, the environment Ministry created a waste management roadmap in 2008 that estimated that India produces 0.573 million tonnes of waste per day, which amounts to 209 million tonnes per year. As per another report, the current estimates show that nearly 62 million tonnes are solid waste.

Abstract: The octogenarian couple Ngai and Thuy, living in a small village on the banks of Ben Hai River, in Vietnam, vividly remembers the day when the US army flew its Huey helicopters over their paddy fields and the nearby forest and sprayed orange, white, and blue coloured chemicals. They perceptibly saw their green fields become barren; trees in the closeby forest shed all the leaves in a few days and die. The couple could never afterwards see some of the wild animal species and birds that once roamed the forest.

Keywords: Water in meat production,utilization and monitoring
Abstract: The need to maintain strict food safety standards means that water is used in considerable quantities for the washing of livestock and products, and the cleaning and sanitization of plants and equipment. It has also been claimed that the meat industry contributes 18 per cent of all greenhouse gas emissions. Animal products have particularly large water requirement per unit of nutritional energy compared to food of plant origin.

Subject: Molten storage and thermophotovoltaics a new solar power pathway
Keywords: Molten storage, Thermophotovoltaics
Abstract: New computer modelling suggests that high temperature thermophotovoltaics (TPV) conversion which captures infrared radiation from very hot surfaces-could one day rival combined cycle turbine systems when combined with thermal storage using liquid metal at temperatures around 1,300 C. advances in high-temperature components and improved system modelling, combined with the potential for conversion costs, suggest that TPV could offer a pathway for efficiently storing and producing electrical power from solar thermal sources.

Abstract: The United Nations' World Habitat Day was first celebrated in 1986 in Nairobi with the theme 'Shelter is My Right.' It has been subsequently held every year on the first Monday of October to remind governments across the globe of their commitment to provide their citizens with better, affordable, and adequate housing (Housing at the Centre' has been chosen as the theme for the World Habitat Day this year).The other important objectives are to bring positive changes in the systems, including policies and attitudes of persons causing poverty housing, pay attention on the basic human rights for adequate shelter, and to increase worldwide awareness of joint responsibility for providing sustainable habitat to the future generations.
