The challenging problems faced by the tannery based countries are the safe disposal of the sludge generated by the effluent treatment plants. In this work, the disposal of the sludge at various generation points such as beam house (BHS) and after tertiary treatment process (TS) is studied. The FT-IR of the beam house sludge confirmed the presence of organic matter at 2880.31cm -1 and calcined p...

A balanced assessment of ecosystem services provided by agriculture requires a systems-level socioecological understanding of related management practices at local to landscape scales. The results from 25 years of observation and experimentation at the Kellogg Biological Station long-term ecological research site reveal services that could be provided by intensive row-crop ecosystems. In additi...

Agriculture is one of several industries that face criticism today because of its impact on the environment. Pollution prevention technologies can go a long way toward addressing these concerns. They could also benefit producers as they represent a move toward efficiency. The most common environmental pollutants from crop production are sediment, nutrients, and pesticides. This article results ...

Renewable Agriculture and Food Systems is a multidisciplinary journal which focuses on the science that underpins economically environmentally and socially sustainable approaches to agriculture and food production. The journal publishes original research and review articles on the economic, ecological and environmental impacts of agriculture; the effective use of renewable resources and biodive...

Possible contributions of organic farming to solve the current environmental crisis in industrialized agriculture can range from greening existing agrofood system being a driver for systemic change. The growth has led debates over whether is still societal transformation or it become slightly greener version conventional agriculture. We investigate changing roles that are ascribed growing movem...
