Fertile soil and food security

About 20 different elements are required for the proper growth of plants. They are known as essential elements. Carbon, hydrogen,oxygen, nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, sulphur etc., are examples of essential elements.These elements are made naturally available in the soil through decomposition by microorganisms.Haven’t you learnt the advantages of growing leguminous plants infields?Besides this,the fertility of the soil can be improved through the application of fertilizers too. The pH of the soil is also an important factor that influences the growth of the plants. The presence of elements in the soil and the pH value can be identified by soil testing. Organisms like bacteria, fungi, algae, termite, earthworm etc., help to increases oil fertility

Abstract

There is a nexus of seven inter-linked global existential challenges; Soil Security and Food Security are two of these. The established concept of Food Security is well defined and researched, whereas the emerging concept of Soil Security is building its currency globally. Addressing Soil Security provides the means to improve food, fibre and water quality in a sustainable manner, through enhanced soil care and development of best land-management practices. Soil is a fragile resource which is degraded in many parts of the world. The rapidly growing global population has placed further pressure on the soil resource to accommodate increased demand for food, fibre and soil-derived materials. Such pressures are accelerating degradation and so novel approaches are needed. Literature search within this review demonstrated Soil Security and Food Security to be a convergence of disciplines. To truly identify solutions to challenges faced in either realm, an interdisciplinary approach seeking to understand deeper interactions between the two concepts is needed. Driven by this need, our review sought to investigate such interactions between the challenges faced in Soil Security and Food Security. Following assessment of these interactions, four potential solutions were discussed and included sustainable intensification and management, digital agriculture, circularisation and reducing the food demand trajectory through enhanced soil care. Soil Security and Food Security are interconnected concepts which will help facilitate implementation of the above solutions, and so approaches are needed which take this connection into account.

Pests and their natural enemies

Have you ever thought of the tremendous increase of certain pests?
The main reason for this is the fall in the
number of organisms that prey on them. Predators, parasites and pathogens of pests can be called natural enemies of pests. The service of these organisms may be effectively utilised in agriculture.he fall in the number of organisms that prey on them. Predators,
