It works on integration of three main objectives namely a healthy environment, economic stability of farms and farmers and social equity for improvement of the livelihood of the society. Organic Farming which acts for sustainable agriculture is an eco-friendly technique of agricultural production system can be considered as a natural tool for the environmental protection and sustainable development. North Eastern India is the integration of natural wonders and combination of different tradition and culture. The agriculture in North Eastern India is organic in nature by wisdom. The farmers of this region are practicing Organic Farming with indigenous knowledge system from ages. It has the natural choice for promoting and intensification of Organic Farming and has tremendous opportunity to promotion of Organic Farming for profit maximization of the farmers and for environmental sustainability. It has huge potential for organic crop production and as a tremendous scope for converting the North Eastern India as an ‘Organic Hub’ by covering its maximum of the area. Despite of long-term sustainability and environmental benefits along with lots of prospects in Organic Farming some challenges hinder the development of Organic Farming in this area. Moreover, the productivity of agricultural commodities is very low in North Eastern India which delays the socio-economic development of this region. So, utilizing the positive effects of Organic Farming in a scientific way, the productivity of cop and other agricultural commodities can be increase which may be the boon for ‘Doubling Farmers Income’ of this disadvantaged region of India regarding crop productivity and soil sustainability. Some immediate vital actions are required and simultaneously some activities are also going on by various organizations like new technology explosion for enhance the productivity which will helps for overcoming the challenges faced by the people of North Eastern India for successful implementation of Organic Farming. This book attempts to explore and highlights the present status, prospects and challenges of Organic Farming in North Eastern India, selection of suitable organic approaches for soil health management, impact of organic agriculture on environmental sustainability along with some of the tested integrated nutrient management packages of major crops suitable for socio-economic development of the Region and also cite the remedies for mitigate the challenges which are very much essential for agricultural sustainability of North Eastern Region of India.
Bioprospecting of Indigenous Bioresources of North-East India by Jubilee Purkayastha Pdf
This work is a comprehensive information on the indigenous bioresources of North Eastern India with the scope of bioprospecting for discovery and commercialization of new sources and products and long-term ecological balance. The exploration, conservation and sustainable utilization of bioresources of world’s Megabiodiversity Hotspots are undeniable. North Eastern India is a recognised biodiversity hot spot where the evolutionary forces are at its optimum, making this region as centre of origin for many species. Although little bit exploratory studies have been conducted in this part of the globe but a scientific exploitation of the bioresources is almost lacking. Unscientific exploitation and overexploitation without proper knowledge of the bioresources may lead to imbalanced ecosystem of this mega diversity region. At the same time, very less exploration and exploitation will hamper biodiversity based development. Today, unscientific dramatic changes are underway in this region. Human activities are changing, degrading and destroying the bioresources in an unplanned manner. Scientific bioprospecting of the bioresources will boost the economy while ensuring conservation. This book offers comprehensive information about various levels of bioprospecting of the gene pool of this Indo-Burma Mega Biodiversity Hot Spot, the North East India, which is endowed with huge biodiversity potential for exploration and exploitation for the benefit of humankind. Also, this book highlights the less and merely explored part of the indigenous biodiversity of North East India with explanation towards their better sustainable exploitation for benefit of the people, economy and environment. The novelty of the book lies in expert coverage of the bioresources of this mega-diverse region including plants, microbes, insects etc. with provisions for their sustainable scientific utilization. This book portrays North East India as a melting pot of bioresources which are little explored and also those resources which are still to be explored. The book mainly highlights the bioprospecting approaches for North East Indian bioresources, and thus, it make itself a unique one in filling the knowledge gap that is there regarding the bioprospecting of the biodiversity of this special region on the earth. The book concludes by the ecotourism potential of this region. The target audiences for this book include biodiversity economists who are working on technology and bioresource management issues, and especially on biotechnology and biodiversity, development economists addressing the issues of bioresources in developing countries. These people may be in academia, in government, in non-governmental organizations and in private companies. The other target audiences group is policy scholars in government/public sectors who are interested in issues of biotechnology, IPRs, and biodiversity. In addition, scholars/experts in both development studies and resource management studies form another group of target audiences. Also, the book will be useful for the interaction between developed and developing nations regarding the issues of biodiversity and bioprospecting, as North Eastern India is the hub of Biodiversity.
Real Property Transactions. Procedures, Transaction Costs and Models by J. Zevenbergen Pdf
Transactions in land and other real property differ between countries throughout Europe. The transaction procedures reflect formal rules, but they are also normalized through conventions and professional codes of conduct. This complex of technical, legal and economic issues was investigated from the point of view of transaction economics through an ESF-COST supported Action G9 ‘Modeling Real Property Transactions’. The research was performed between 2001 and 2005 by researchers mainly from university departments related to land surveying, real estate management, geo-information sciences and knowledge engineering. This book represents the final outcome of that study. A modeling approach was elaborated and tested on a number of countries (especially Sweden and Slovenia, for which the models are shown in this book in the Unified Modeling Language (UML)). The modeling approach leads to transparency and allows comparison. Nevertheless, the influence of the national and social contexts, and the different perspectives that can be taken, prevent a simple ranking of the studied procedures. For those planning or comparing transaction procedures or parts thereof, the book supplies a tested approach and methodology. But the book eventually warns of simplification in this field full of complex national institutional arrangements.
