जलवायु परिवर्तन: जीवित दुनिया के लिए एक चिंता Agriculture is the backbone of the Himalayan economy, with many people depending on it for their livelihood. Changes in climate, including the melting of glaciers, affect agriculture, leading to reduced crop yields, and loss of income. Decreased crop yields and loss of plant biodiversity have serious impacts on the ecosystem, making it more vulnerable to natural disasters such as floods, landslides and soil erosion. जलवायु परिवर्तन एक वैश्विक चिंता का विषय है, जिसका दुनिया भर के क्षेत्रों के सामाजिक-अर्थशास्त्र और पारिस्थितिक परिवर्तन पर महत्वपूर्ण प्रभाव पड़ता है। ऐसा ही एक क्षेत्र हिमालयी क्षेत्र है, जिसने हाल के वर्षों में जलवायु परिस्थितियों में कई बदलाव...

प्लास्टिकल्चर: पारिस्थितिकी तंत्र में माइक्रो प्लास्टिक का एक स्रोत Plasticulture is the use of plastics in agricultural practices; it includes all kinds of plant or soil coverings ranging from mulch films, row coverings, poly-tunnels to greenhouses, lining of farm ponds and micro-irrigation (drips and sprinklers). Plastic mulch allows farmers to grow cash and grains crops in water scarcity areas. The sheets, usually composed of polyethylene, help conserve water, suppress weeds, boost soil temperature, and effectively increasing crop yields by 20 to 60 percent. Plasticulture helps in reducing use of water (~30-40%), agro-chemicals and fertilizers. It can well be incorporated in the mainframe system within the field of sustainable agriculture practices domestically.Its effective implementation is...
