Abstract:

Agriculture is an important contributor of rural development. The rural area will benefit economically, socially, and environmentally if the approach of sustainability in agricultural activities is put into practise. This, in turn, will help to make rural development more sustainable in the long run. In a similar light, rural development strategies are also variables that can make it easier for sustainable practises to be implemented in a cost-effective and timely manner. Therefore, this paper aims to examine the significance of dimensions of sustainable rural development as assisting elements

The aim of this research was to investigate the effects of green manure and intercropping of winter wheat and winter forage pea on soil organic carbon and nitrogen content, with the goal of achieving carbon neutrality and sustainable agricultural production. The study was conducted over three growing seasons (2021/22, 2022/23, and 2023/2

Abstract:

Sustainability in irrigation is an essential step towards responsible water consumption. In recent years, many studies have sketched climate-resilient agricultural practices to fight drought and uncertain rainfall patterns. Major rain-fed crops such as paddy and wheat require aid when there are abnormal dry spells. To mitigate the loss of crops from such events, superabsorbent polymers can be used. Soils amended with hydrogel or Superabsorbent polymer (SAP) retain moisture during drought to prevent loss of water through evaporation and percolation. This allows the crop to grow with less shock

Abstract:

Indigenous communities worldwide face increasing challenges from modernization, migration, and economic pressures, which threaten their traditional agricultural systems and cultural heritage. These dynamics often lead to shifts in land use, the erosion of ancestral knowledge, and the weakening of cultural identity. Understanding how these communities adapt to such changes is crucial for sustainable development. This research examines how indigenous communities, particularly San José Chiltepec in Oaxaca, balance the preservation of cultural heritage with adapting to evolving agricultural practi

Abstract:

This article introduces oil palm shell (OPS), an agricultural waste product, as a promising substitute for traditional aggregates in concrete. OPS exhibits lightweight characteristics, reducing the overall density of structures and aligning with sustainable building practices. Despite its advantages, OPS incorporation faces challenges, particularly in terms of durability and mechanical strength. The porous nature of OPS raises concerns about its long-term performance, susceptibility to environmental factors and impact on concrete workability. To address these challenges, this article proposes

The high cost of marigold production through the application of synthetic fertilizers and micronutrients is a major concern for Nepalese farmers. Every year, the nutrient-rich banana pseudo-stems are wasted after harvest. Utilizing the banana’s pseudo-stem for increasing marigold productivity through sustainable agricultural practices, an experiment was conducted to determine the optimum concentration of banana pseudo-stem sap (BPS) to be applied by foliar spraying to marigold variety (Karma 555 – Orange). The BPS was mixed and enriched with different ingredients, such as cow urine, cow dung,
