Bio-inoculants as Prospective Inputs for Achieving Sustainability: Indian Story

Achieving Economic Sustainability Through Innovation

The current economic instability is the result of under regulated markets built on an ideology of free market capitalism and unlimited economic growth. Since the onset of industrialization and conceptualization of economic theories various externalities are not considered as a part of economy. They were assumed to be relatively small and solvable. The consequences that declare an economic model...

What Is Sustainability? Quantifying Sustainability Achieving a Sustainable Marine Environment

Achieving true sustainability of zoo populations.

For the last 30 years, cooperative management of irreplaceable animal populations in zoos and aquariums has focused primarily on the goal of minimizing genetic decay within defined time frames, and large advances have been made in technologies to optimize genetic management of closed populations. However, recent analyses have shown that most zoo programs are not projected to meet their stated g...

Inoculants for Corn Silage

Various spoilage microorganisms (bacteria, yeasts and molds) readily grow on crops going into a silo, causing losses in dry matter and quality. To prevent these various microorganisms from growing, two conditions are needed in the silo: an oxygen-free (or anaerobic) environment and a low pH. Many of the oxygen-requiring (aerobic) microorganisms that heat the silage as well as causing losses can...

Interventions for Achieving Sustainability in Tropical Forest and Agricultural Landscapes

The rapid expansion of commodity agriculture in tropical forest landscapes is a key driver of deforestation. To meet the growing demand from a more prosperous and expanding global population, it is imperative to develop sustainable commodity supply chains that support higher agricultural productivity, and that enable improved environmental, economic, and social outcomes. Interventions by commun...
