I want to know role of agricultural exhibitions in agricultural development or in farmers empowerment.
As the land availability for conventional farming is decreasing, what percentage of worldwide farming is being done through soilless route (including hydroponics, aeroponics, aquaponics)?
Any literature highlighting the same will be helpful please.
Hello
Unfortunately, fresh fruits last few days/weeks before being spoiled in the refrigerator.
That spoilage is due to air-borne mold species such as Aspergillus, Cladosporium, botrytis and Penicillium.
How can we identify mold fungal species (apart from microscope) ??
I have recently seen an amazing pomegranate. This pomegranate has a black peel.
Do you know black pomegranate? what is its scientific name?
And do you know what differences are there between this pomegranate and other kinds of pomegranate?
I attach a picture of it for your consideration and I hope you know it.

Hello Dear Researchers and Professors,
We want to make Khakhara having various fruit flavour. But now as we mix up the fruit powder with the flour it got burnt at the time of roasting and tastes very bad.
So solution is needed for this process, If any other technique or idea is there than please share.
Dear researchers,
What do you think about Roundup herbicide that caused cancer to a gardener who decided to take the chemical giant (Monsanto) to trial??
The jury agreed that Roundup contributed to the cancer and decided then to award 289 million $ to the gardener (2 days ago).
It should be noted that Roundup is used by farmers for over 40 years for more than 100 crops and accounts for 25% of the global herbicide market in 130 countries.
I want to conduct a small survey on the importance of homegarden on food security and improving health states in selected localities in eastern Hararghe Ethiopia. Can you suggest some study designs for my study?
Kindly respond to let me out of doubt.
how to discharge the superheated steam after utilization in electricity/power plant ?
There is so much fear of food insecurity among developing countries in spite of the fact that most of them are engaged in agriculture.
I am currently working on the impacts of flooding on food security in an agricultural community. I want to know the methods (if possible equations) that have been used to measure food insecurity as well as vulnerability in other agrarian communities at household level. Thank you.
Hello colleagues
Are there any studies on what drives diet changes in the case of urbanization? Meat and wheat (bread) are up in Dakar and Dar Es Salaam compared with rural areas, but what is the driver? Higher average income? Is the fact that bread is just bought from a shop (most of the time) and does not require any preparation (such as cooking) a factor? What is the situation outside of Africa, e.g. Thailand, India? Is there any reason to suspect that increasing urbanization rates in China (65% projected for China) will be accompanied by an increase of bread consumption?
aflatoxin contaminated food reported as canceriogenic products,andthis but altof constrain in importa and export of agricultural food products.sperggilus fung is the main producer of this toxic proteins, however spergilus density incresed in contaminated un healthy ecological soil.is there any relation beteween the density of this micro organisms?as an example in groundnuts farms , what is the role of rizobactor in minimizing or preventing aflatoxin in these ecological areas ?

I am currently researching food security and agriculture production. I am trying to come up with a experimental research project that about food security and agricultural production, but I am having troubles finding examples that are not related to yield. I would love some suggestions as to how I can bridge the 2 together
For example, used labour as denominator when we would like to calculate the labour input should be used on the frontier.

In Rwanda some 6,000 ha are already successfully transformed. All over Africa some 2 Mio. ha swamps could be transformed without endangering the eco-systems. Solid research, monitoring-analysis and large-scale funding (1 ha ca. 2-4,000 $) would be required. Any supporters?

I would like to run a regression analysis for drivers of tomato quality.
As we all know, thrips damage crop parts such as the leaves, flowers and fruits of vegetables. However, their activities are very subtle, spray control is difficult to get a good control effect. Is there any other effective measure to control this kind of subtle pests in organic agriculture (chemical pesticides are forbidden)? Thanks for your help.

Distribution of monsoon rains during last 10 years has been changed. In recent past, monsoon touches the main land 15 days to 1 month later. Then it takes another few weeks to get activated. This natural phenomena affecting the rain-fed agriculture in almost all the countries. Lets a start a discussion to point out the probable measures to combat this change without affecting the food security.
Today when I was reading about nanoparticles/nanomaterials in food products I couldn’t find specific regulation addressing this issue. I’ve read sentences such as “studies investigating impacts of nanoparticles/nanomaterials in food on human health are scarce”. Shouldn’t we be focusing our studies on this?
Organic farming fascinates the public opinion because it refuses the use of chemicals in food production and preservation. Nevertheless I did not see scientific data proving that the productivity with organic farming is similar to conventional agriculture managed with attention to the environment.

With the adverse changes in the climatic conditions that have translated to high volatility in operating expenses at the farm level and the jittery currency market, are there models that can be used to examine and also forecast in the agricultural commodity market?
As agriculture growing conditions become more unpredictable as the climate warms, developing methods that enable integration of environmental conditions into food price analysis will be important. What approaches are most promising? What new datasets will be needed to understand market dynamics for staple foods? What assumptions are made in these analyses, such as market functioning, the role of global commodity prices, growing conditions in major export markets, exchange rates?
Chemicals are an integrated part of our life. Many products would not exist without these, and therefore they are a necessity. However, there are almost 100,000 types of chemicals that are indispensable, but are greatly affecting our environment.
An international effort is needed to reduce the risk these substances pose. With regard to aspects of the economy, the UN has to take steps towards alleviation. Scientific assessments and legal instruments are considered to be the proper tools of regulating dangerous substances. Thorough research is needed, and significant action is to be taken, if we are to protect our planet.
Questions remain, and a balance is to be found between interfering in economic interests, thus everyday life, and sustaining our environment for future generations.
One example may be analytic hierarchy process

how to solve our food safety in India
rat is the cheap source of protein. usually musahar community of bihar eat rat meat. musahars are known as dalit among dalit and untouchable among untouchable. in Indian society basically in Hindu religion, rat meat is not acceptable. but scientifically it has been proved that rat meat has good source of protein. in the PDS people are not getting any kind of protein related thing such as pulses. so hardly poor can access to protein in their meal. if rat farming is promoted, it gives cheap source of protein and employment source for the musahar community...but is it possible? can people accept this food habit?
