“…Higher economic benefits have been achieved through ecological approaches via integrating with appropriate animals in these modified flooded fields. Rice-duck (Wang et al, 2003;Yang et al, 2004;Zhen et al, 2007), rice-fish (Cruz et al, 1992;Suloma and Ogata, 2006), rice-crab (Yan et al, 2014), and rice-prawn (Nair et al, 2013) farming commonly practiced in Asian countries are recognized as sustainable systems using less fertilizer and pesticide. The paddy fields or cane shoot fields provide shades, shelters and organic matters for the animals, which in turn oxygenate the soil and water, consume pests and favor nutrient recycling.…”

“…Similar to rice-fish farming, rice-duck, rice-crab, rice-prawn farming makes use of the symbiotic relationship between paddy fields and animals to more effectively utilize nutrients and energy, reduce chemical fertilizer and pesticide inputs, increase food safety and productivity, and also mitigate the pollutants discharge Zhang et al, 2001;Zhen et al, 2004). Besides, it is reported that co-culture animals in wetland fields, especially organic co-culture patterns, could effectively improve quantity and composition of soil carbohydrates (Nair et al, 2013;Yan et al, 2014;Yang et al, 2004) that would conduce to sustainable use of the soil resources.…”

“…In view of bioaccumulation and biomagnification of various PTS (such as Hg, PBDEs, and DDTs) into the food production systems; the AMR problem caused by the directional selection of antibiotic; and other problems caused by the residues of pesticides and hormones, that have been threatening the human and ecosystem health, a better control of these inputs to the food production systems is highly essential. Integrated farms using strategies such as polyculture and co-culture are more efficient in using resources, with a higher total commercial income than monocultures (Nair et al, 2013;Ofori et al, 2005;Wang et al, 2003;Xi and Qin, 2009). However, serious problems are encountered, if PTS are entered into the production systems, and their concentrations are magnified due to bioaccumulation and biomagnification along the aquatic food chains (Scholz-Starke et al, 2013;Windham-Myers et al, 2014;Zaldívar et al, 2011).…”

The widespread use of compound pelleted feeds and chemical fertilizers in modern food production contribute to a vast amount of residual nutrients into the production system and adjacent ecosystem are major factors causing eutrophication. Furthermore, the extensive development and application of chemical compounds (such as chemical pesticides, disinfectants and hormones used in enhancing productivity) in food production process are hazardous to the ecosystems, as well as human health. These unsustainable food production patterns cannot sustain human living in the long run. Wetlands are perceived as self-decontamination ecosystems with high productivities. This review gives an overview about wetlands which are being integrated with food production processes, focusing on aquaculture.

“…Some Scientists worked on the effect of MWCNTs on rice seed germination, vigor growth of seedlings, and observed pronounced rate and speed of germination. Earlier studies successfully demonstrated the positive impacts of nanomaterials for disease diagnosis and treatment in lab experiments (Nair et al 2014). Previously, progressive applications of nano-materials on plants were observed to enhance the impact of nanotechnology in agriculture.…”

BackgroundGlobal warming, climate change, environmental stress and population increase have threatened food security and increased food production demand. Increasing Rice productions could be a better solution to solve or at least decrease the severity of the global food crisis. The modern rice cultivation techniques have been insufficient for sustainable rice production. So, Qiangdi 863 nano synergid is hypothesized to enhance the early growth of rice, rice physiology, grain yield, and grain quality. ResultsThe present study was carried out to determine the role of Qiangdi 863 nano synergid on the growth and yield of one Chinese rice variety Zhongzao 39 and four Pakistani rice varieties KSK 133, KS 282, Super basmati, and PK 1121 aromatic. Field experiments were conducted during the years 2017, 2018, and 2019. Appling nano-treated water enhanced the germination rate along with radicle and plumule lengths and improved the photosynthesis rate, SPAD value in rice leaves for all five varieties. The results showed that nano-treated water improved the anti-oxidant Catalase activity (CAT), Superoxide Dismutase (SOD) Peroxide (POD) production, declined Malondialdehyde (MDA content), enhanced endogenous Salicylic acid (SA), Jasmonates (JA) Brassinosteroids (BR) hormonal concentration and yield parameters of rice in 2017, 18 and 19 years of data. ConclusionThese findings indicate that nano synergids can be effectively used for rice cultivation in different environmental conditions (China and Pakistan). This is the first reported application of Qiangdi 863 nano synergid in Pakistani rice varieties with effective outcomes highlighting significant results in KSK 133.

Increasing land take, soil sealing and loss of ecosystem functions due to soil and land degradation have been recognised as major environmental and socioeconomic challenges, both in the EU and worldwide. In 2015, the UN put forward the 2030 Agenda, with 17 interdependent Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Many of the SDGs reflect challenges related to land and soil. This report comprises of a review of the state of affairs in the EU related to the implementation of the land and soil related SDGs. Literature reviews, policy mapping, EU wide soil data analysis, combined with national surveys and targeted interviews were carried out. A set of recommendations for related to the way forward to more effective implementation and widespread uptake of sustainable land and soil management addressed to the following four stakeholder groups are given: (i) practitioners and endusers; (ii) scientist; (iii) policymakers and (iv) citizens. Toenemend ruimtebeslag, bodemafdekking en verlies van ecosysteemfuncties als gevolg van bodemen landdegradatie worden zowel in de EU als wereldwijd gezien als grote ecologische en sociaaleconomische uitdagingen. In 2015 hebben de VN de Agenda 2030 voorgesteld, met 17 samenhangende duurzame ontwikkelingsdoelstellingen (SDG's). Veel van de SDG's hebben een relatie met opgaves die verband houden met land en bodem. Dit rapport bevat een overzicht van de stand van zaken in de EU met betrekking tot de implementatie van de land-en bodemgerelateerde SDG's. Dit overzicht werd tot stand gebracht door literatuuronderzoek, een beleidsanalyse, analyse van bodemgegevens in de hele EU, gecombineerd met nationale enquêtes en gerichte interviews. Er wordt een reeks aanbevelingen gedaan gericht op vier doelgroepen om de implementatie en acceptatie van duurzaam land-en bodembeheer in de EU te bevorderen: (i) eindgebruikers; (ii) wetenschappers; (iii) beleidsmakers en (iv) burgers.
