Best agriculture practices in the current scenario of Climate Change and other Environmental Problems
The increasing percentage of carbon dioxide along with drought and increasing temperature is impacting the growth and development of plants, and particularly agricultue system. The Greenhouse effect and Climatic extremes Introduction Concentrations of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere have increased from pre-industrial levels of about 270 μmol mol−1 to current concentrations of 360 μmol mol−1. …

Pakistan at the time of its birth had hardly enough arable land and surface water resources to achieve food security. In the 1960s the Dams and other associated water infrastructure were constructed, and a massive land-clearing and reclamation effort were undertaken. The area under cultivation saw an increase as did the yields through large-scale utilization …
Agribusiness is a combination of the words “agriculture” and “business” and refers to any business related to agricultural production. Companies in this industry encompass all aspects of food production.
The global food security, sustainability, and poverty eradication is under the serious threats of Climate Change.
We have to Buy local beef, and pressure the international agribusiness community to create more transparent supply chains to ensure that their beef products are not sourced in a way that contributes to deforestation anywhere in the world.
Wheat crop is damaged by a large number of insects in the standing in the field or in post harvest applications like harvesting, thresshing and storring etc. To overcome the food security problem this loss need to be minimize with solutions.
Post-harvest operations are assuming importance due to higher yields and increased cropping intensity. Harvesting is important as the crop is reaped early to make way for another crop. It sometimes coincides with heavy rainfall or severe cyclone and floods. Therefore, suitable technology is necessary for reducing time and safe storage at the farm level. The post-harvest losses are estimated to be about 25 per cent.
Quite a few plants may be safely, and pleasurable, lit up in a pipe or rolling papers. Those listed below are legal, unregulated, and totally safe to use. They are also non-hallucinogenic and non-addictive – perhaps that explains their lack of popularity? While they won’t get you high, when blended according to the instructions below, …

Adaptation refers to adjustment in natural or human systems in response to actual or expected climate stimuli, or their effects. Adaptation can be Autonomous or planned Autonomous: Those adjustments that are carried out without knowledge of climate change. Planned: Planned adaptations are those made deliberately in order to express climate change impacts. In Pakistan most of the …
Specific Effects of Climate Change on Agriculture with special reference to Pakistan (1) Increase in Temperature in arable areas (Threats to food security) Duration of crop growth cycle are related to temperature. An increase in temperature will speed up development. In case of an annual crop, the duration between sowing and harvesting (growing season length …
