Improper disposition of agro-wastes not only causes environmental pollution but also wastes a lot of valuable biomass resources when organic wastes are broken down by microbes in heat-generating environment; the volume of waste is reduced, and products are produced....
Making haste with waste Experts believe that the solution to the massive amounts of wastage is a combination of government policy, technology, and infrastructure improvements. More than 40 percent of food produced in India is wasted before it reaches the consumer. The Indian government is explorin...
While there have been numerous research papers and reviews that discuss the approaches used for organic waste management [26,30,31,32]. However, there has been little comprehensive discussion about the potential contribution of processed OWs and associated beneficial microbes in different biological proc...
Reducing greenhouse gas emissions in food systems is becoming more challenging as food is increasingly consumed away from producer regions, highlighting the need to consider emissions embodied in trade in agricultural emissions accounting. To address thi
Furthermore, it is likely to change the way agricultural supply chains function, and the ways in which products are composed by food manufacturers, sold by retailers, bought by end-consumers, and food waste is prevented (Brandt and Barrangou, 2019; Bronson, 2018; Burton, 2019; Creamer et al...
As a matter of fact, the CE addresses the ways to reuse, repair, and recycle items, thus reducing waste and, overall, enhancing the sustainability level of manufacturing and consumption systems, according to sustainable development and its principle. In addition to this, the CE approach ...
From our study in the Indo-Gangetic Plain, we document that light absorption by aerosol from postharvest agricultural-waste burning emissions exhibits wavelength dependence of approximately λ−1.5. 3.2. EC-OC Analyzer Based EC The organic carbon (OC) and non-sea-salt potassium (nss-K+, a ...
source of GHG emissions—enteric fermentation by ruminants—would seem particularly likely to result in both emission reduction and increases in productivity since these emissions involve an obvious waste of a potentially valuable hydrocarbons. As illustrative examples, we considered two polar cases: (i)...
We focus on alternative innovation pathways for addressing agricultural sustainability challenges in Odisha, India. The first pathway that we term as indus
