Sewage sludge, an abundant and problematic organic waste, was successfully converted into sustainable jet fuel range hydrocarbons (C8-C16). sludge pre-conditioned processed through a Thermo-Catalytic Reforming (TCR) system (2 Kg/h) at 450 ºC pyrolysis 700 post-reforming temperature to produce biocrude oil. The bio-crude oil subsequently conditioned upgraded via consecutive two-step hydroprocess...

introduction sustainable agriculture can be more objective than fit into the conceptual framework and it is closely associated with rational behavior. the result of such perspective is that sustainable agriculture is an activity based on rationality. the beginning of the formation of stable rationality requires training to create intellectual flexibility for the farmers in order to acquire know...

recent debates concerning sustainable agriculture have received many attentions, but efforts concerning materialization of the concept haven’t enough. if the concept of sustainability is to be used as an underlying component of human interventions in the environment and ecosystem, a sound measure of sustainability is surely required. development of agricultural sector without considering the co...

Conventional tillage (CT)-based agriculture is known to be ecologically indiscreet, economically and environmentally unsustainable, leads the degradation of soil environment in Indo-Gangetic Plain (IGP). The surface seeding (SS) method was introduced manage agro-ecosystems for sustaining productivity increasing farmers’ profits, while natural resources. Here, we conducted a systematic literatur...

Implementing universal health coverage (UHC) is widely perceived to be central to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and is a work program priority of the World Health Organization (WHO). Much has already been written about how low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) can monitor progress towards UHC, with various UHC monitoring frameworks available in the literature. However, ...

Sustainable agriculture, which is characterized by farming profitably while minimizing damage to the environment, is not easy to practice. “Conventional” agriculture in the USA is commonly considered to involve practices that have potential to damage the environment. These include tilling the soil excessively, overapplying readily soluble inorganic fertilizers (“chemical fertilizers”), and over...

Background: In different crises without any exception, especially sudden emergencies, the role of Human Effective Components (HECs), Native Human Effective Components (NHECs) (belonging to a specific space and location), and especially Core Native Human Effective Components (CNHECs); and among CNHECs, level of management skills, ignorance, and manager’s mind bandwidth are of vital importance in...

© The Ecological Society of America www.frontiersinecology.org D some improvement in environmental outcomes, conventional agriculture continues to contribute to biodiversity loss, climate change, and the degradation of terrestrial and freshwater systems (Foley et al. 2011 ). A major global challenge is to develop sustainable, “climatesmart” agricultural systems that feed growing populations and...
