Wheat, oats, barley, rye, rice, and millet are all considered small grains. These small grains are carbohydrate and vitamin rich and have become food staples for humans and animals worldwide. Small grains have been cultivated by man for thousands of years and through selective breeding, they have become one of the most productive crops grown by man. Small grains have been adapted to grow in nea...

INDIA IS FACING serious environmental problems such as waste1 ,water and air pollution due to the fast growth of urbanisation and industrialisation. The subject of solid waste management (SWM) in Hyderabad (India) represents one of particular interest for this 23rd WEDC conference on ‘partnership and innovation’. This paper will represent a unique scheme which is based on a combination of partn...
