Published: Feb. 2, 2023

In the era of SDGs, useful plants which provide valuable industrial outputs and at same time pose less impact on environment should be explored. Hemp seems one most relevant gluten-free crop to meet such requirements. Its high nutritional value is comparable soy. Moreover, almost whole body hemp plant has a wide array utility: production food, fiber, construction materials. view environmental sustainability, requires pesticides or water in cultivation compared cotton, representative fiber plant. This short review investigates hemp’s sustainability as well its utility highly material food industry. Recent application research protein processing includes milk, emulsifiers, fortification bread, plant-based meat production, membrane formation. These studies have revealed distinctive properties protein, especially relation disulfide (S-S)/sulfhydryl (-SH)-mediated interactions with from other sources. While area use were limited for while over confusion marijuana, market growing rapidly because it been reevaluated multiple areas Conclusively, property seed promising development new foods.

Securing a sustainable future: the climate change threat to agriculture, food security, and sustainable development goals

Journal of Umm Al-Qura University for Applied Sciences, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: July 11, 2024

Abstract Climate alteration poses a consistent threat to food security and agriculture production system. Agriculture sector encounters severe challenges in achieving the sustainable development goals due direct indirect effects inflicted by ongoing climate change. Although many industries are confronting challenge of change, impact on agricultural industry is huge. Irrational weather changes have raised imminent public concerns, as adequate output supplies under continuous threat. Food system negatively threatened changing climatic patterns thereby increasing risk poverty. It has led concerning state affairs regarding global eating patterns, particularly countries where plays significant role their economies productivity levels. The focus this review deteriorating consequences with prime emphasis how altering affect either directly or indirectly. shifts resultant temperature ranges put survival validity species at risk, which exaggerated biodiversity loss progressively fluctuating ecological structures. influence variation results poor quality higher costs well insufficient systems distribution. concluding segment underscores policy implementation aimed mitigating both regional scale. data study been gathered from various research organizations, newspapers, papers, other sources aid readers understanding issue. execution also analyzed depicted that government engrossment indispensable for long-term progress nation, because it will guarantee stringent accountability tools regulations previously implemented create state-of-the-art policy. Therefore, crucial reduce adapt change because, order ensure survival, addressing worldwide peril necessitates collective commitment mitigate its dire consequences.

Published: May 23, 2023

Agriculture is currently one of the leading economic sectors most impacted by climate change. Due to its great field application and susceptibility meteorological variability, effects change on agriculture have significant social consequences for human well-being. Moreover, increasing need land spaces population growth has produced strong competition between food urbanization, a loss agroecosystem that supports security. This review aims understand main risks generated in agricultural production potential strategies can be applied increase agriculture’s resilience. Agricultural risk linked decrease productivity foods, weed overgrowth at crops expense, parasites, water availability, soil alteration, negative impact costs consequent adopted cultivars, reduction pollination process, intense fires, alteration product quality. Thus, provisioning ecosystem services, reducing security terms quantity quality future generations. Finally, this review, we report adaptation resilience adverse environments Mainly, highlight new technologies, such as breeding technologies agrivoltaic smart applications, which, combined with agroecosystems, reduce following (for example, drought events low availability water). We suggest combination natural capital defined an “innovation-based solution” able support service flow agroecosystems.

Unveiling Nature’s Resilience: Exploring Vegetation Dynamics during the COVID-19 Era in Jharkhand, India, with the Google Earth Engine

Climate, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 11(9), P. 187 - 187

Published: Sept. 8, 2023

The Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has presented unprecedented challenges to global health and economic stability. Intriguingly, the necessary lockdown measures, while disruptive human society, inadvertently led environmental rejuvenation, particularly noticeable in decreased air pollution improved vegetation health. This study investigates lockdown’s impact on Jharkhand, India, employing Google Earth Engine for cloud-based data analysis. MODIS-NDVI were analyzed using spatio-temporal NDVI analyses time-series models. These revealed a notable increase maximum greenery of 19% from April 2020, with subsequent increases 13% 3% observed March May same year, respectively. A longer-term analysis 2000 2020 displayed an overall 16.7% rise greenness. While value remained relatively constant, it demonstrated slight increment during dry season. Landsat Mann–Kendall trend test reinforced these findings, displaying significant shift negative (1984–2019) positive 17.7% (1984–2021) Jharkhand’s north-west region. precipitation (using NASA power Merra2 data) correlation also studied pre- periods. Maximum (350–400 mm) was June, July typically experienced around 300 mm precipitation, covering nearly 85% Jharkhand. Interestingly, August saw up 550 primarily southern region, compared 400 month 2019. Peak changes this period ranged between 0.6–0.76 0.76–1, throughout state. Although decrease health, benefits began diminish post-lockdown. observation underscores need immediate attention intervention scientists researchers. Understanding lockdown-induced their can facilitate development proactive management strategies, paving way towards sustainable resilient future.

Plant-based proteins: advanced extraction technologies, interactions, physicochemical and functional properties, food and related applications, and health benefits

Critical Reviews in Food Science and Nutrition, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 65(4), P. 667 - 694

Published: Nov. 15, 2023

Even though plant proteins are more plentiful and affordable than animal in comparison, direct usage of plant-based (PBPs) is still limited because PBPs fed to animals as feed produce animal-based proteins. Thus, this work has comprehensively reviewed the effects various factors such pH, temperature, pressure, ionic strength on PBP properties, well describes protein interactions, extraction methods know optimal conditions for preparing PBP-based products with high functional properties health benefits. According cited studies current work, environmental factors, particularly pH significantly affected physicochemical PBPs, especially solubility was 76.0% 83.9% at = 2, while 5.0 reduced from 5.3% 9.6%, emulsifying ability lowest 5.8 highest 8.0, foaming capacity 7.0. Electrostatic interactions main way which can be used create protein/polysaccharide complexes food industrial purposes. The yield reached up 86-95% using sustainable efficient routes, including enzymatic, ultrasound-, microwave-, pulsed electric field-, high-pressure-assisted extraction. Nondairy alternative products, yogurt, 3D printing meat analogs, synthesis nanoparticles, bioplastics packaging films best available PBPs-based products. Moreover, those that contain pigments their showed good bioactivities, antioxidants, antidiabetic, antimicrobial.
