“…This is justified by the fact that natural resources are limited and society strives for stable development. The most pressing issues are in the areas of natural water use (Sawicka et al, 2023;Hulai et al, 2022;Vambol et al, 2019), waste management (Ziarati et al, 2022;Husain Khan et al, 2023) and the creation of alternative energy (Constantinescu et al, 2018). Moreover, in these difficult and sometimes problematic issues there is a relationship, such as antibiotic-contaminated sewage sludge (Aly, 2016) and waste can be, in one way or another, converted into energy resources (Vambol et al, 2023).…”

This study aims to analyse the possibility of exploiting agricultural waste in Libya to produce biochar and methane gas, and to evaluate the technical, economic and environmental aspects associated with this technology. In this study, the focus was on seven agricultural projects located in the Libyan desert, where these projects contain many varieties of Crops. A region with a total area of 5.36×106 ha was explored from Benghazi to Dernah eastward including the Green Mountain (Libya). For literary analysis, peer-reviewed scientific publications for 2018-2023 were selected from reliable bibliometric databases Scopus, Google Scholar, ScienceDirect, PubMed, since these databases have the greatest coverage of peer-reviewed publications. To study the biomass potential of the region, the Bioenergy Tool developed by IRENA was used. The study showed that agricultural residues available in Libya can be used Libya, such as grain straw, palm trees, and others, in the production of biochar and methane gas, using pyrolysis techniques to convert agricultural waste into biochar and methane gas. The study indicates that this technology can be cost-effective and environmentally effective, and that many environmental and economic benefits can be achieved, such as improving air quality, increasing agricultural land productivity, and providing new job opportunities.

“…In comparison to fortification, biofortification is cost-effective as it is a one-time investment to develop a biofortified crop and recurrent costs are low ( Shoab and Hefferon, 2022 ). Biofortified crops hold a brighter future to address nutritional challenges ( Yadav et al, 2020 ; Buturi et al, 2021 ; Mushtaq and Nazir, 2021 ; Ziarati et al, 2021 ). Biofortification is considered a sustainable and long-term solution to provide micronutrient-rich crops to people ( Bouis and Welch, 2010 ; Bouis and Saltzman, 2017 ; Garg et al, 2018 ; Heck et al, 2020 ; Van Der Straeten et al, 2020 ).…”

The global malnutrition burden imparts long-term developmental, economic, social, and medical consequences to individuals, communities, and countries. The current developments in biotechnology have infused biofortification in several food crops to fight malnutrition. However, these methods are not sustainable and suffer from several limitations, which are being solved by the CRISPR-Cas-based system of genome editing. The pin-pointed approach of CRISPR-based genome editing has made it a top-notch method due to targeted gene editing, thus making it free from ethical issues faced by transgenic crops. The CRISPR-Cas genome-editing tool has been extensively used in crop improvement programs due to its more straightforward design, low methodology cost, high efficiency, good reproducibility, and quick cycle. The system is now being utilized in the biofortification of cereal crops such as rice, wheat, barley, and maize, including vegetable crops such as potato and tomato. The CRISPR-Cas-based crop genome editing has been utilized in imparting/producing qualitative enhancement in aroma, shelf life, sweetness, and quantitative improvement in starch, protein, gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), oleic acid, anthocyanin, phytic acid, gluten, and steroidal glycoalkaloid contents. Some varieties have even been modified to become disease and stress-resistant. Thus, the present review critically discusses CRISPR-Cas genome editing-based biofortification of crops for imparting nutraceutical properties.

“…Water is essential to sustain life on the biosphere (Zobeidi et al, 2022;Khan et al, 2020) However, with the increasing population and industrial growth, its resources are becoming limited and/or contaminated (Han & Currell 2022;Ziarati et al, 2022). Boretti and Rosa (2019) reported that one third of the world's population would experience severe water scarcity within the next 20 years.…”

The reuse of treated domestic wastewater is an imperative source of water for numerous purposes. The treatment of municipal wastewater can be process by utilizing the technique for electrocoagulation. Electrocoagulation (EC) is an eco-friendly technique that combines the functions and advantages of conventional coagulation, flotation, and electrochemistry in water and wastewater treatment. The aim of present study was to assess the potential of electrocoagulation process in removing COD, BOD, TSS, turbidity, sulphate, nitrate, chloride and TDS from municipal wastewater. This experimental study was carried out at a batch system by using copper and aluminium electrodes aiming to treat the municipal wastewater at (0, 7, 14, and 21 volts, 50mamp for 60minutes) from Sample Baloch Colony (SBC), Sample Rind Goth (SRG), Sample Cattle Colony (SCC), Sample Pakistan Machine Tool Factory (SPMTF) and Sample Mehran Highway (SMH). The results revealed that the maximum removal efficiency of COD 96% for SPMTF, BOD 38.5% for SPMTF, TSS 98.14% for SMH, Turbidity 95.7% for SPMTF, Sulphate 95.9% for SRG, Nitrate 95.23% for SMH, Chloride 97.92% for SMH and TDS 96.9% for SRG at 21 volt. The present study suggested that the treated wastewater could be safely reuse for lawns, parks, tree plantation and recreation purpose.
