Advantages Of Straw Bale

Indian groups have adopted agriculture. The ability to grow crops has a huge implication for the

Throughout time, humans have pushed forward in every aspect in life in order to improve their living standards, wealth and most importantly the agricultural sector which is the base of every human race. Food is the basic requirement for any individual to stay alive and healthy. In an article by Tamsin McMahon, she states that over the past 60 years, the world population has grown from 2.5 billion to 7 billion while world hunger dropped from 40% down to 15% (McMahon T., July 2012). This shows that our agricultural advances through technology have helped control world hunger and decrease it by more than half, but this is a short-term solution if we want to consider the future generations that depend on our current actions toward the three main pillars of agriculture which are: Health and nutrition, Economy and sustainability all while considering the local small farms and corporate farms.

South Asia is one of the most densely populated regions of the world, where despite a slow growth, agriculture remains the backbone of rural economy as it employs one half to over 90 percent of the labor force. Both extensive and intensive policy measures for agriculture

Cellulose insulation is made from recycled paper products. It has a very high recycled material content, generally 82% to 85%. The product limits airflow and in most cases, it doesn't requires a moisture barrier and provides an R-value of up to 3.8 per inch. Each fiber in cellulose insulation is treated with a safe fire retardant called borate. This chemical also helps to keep the insects away. It can be used in both new or existing homes, as loose-fill or dense packed in building cavities, walls, ceilings and

Unlike mineral wool blown, open cell spray foam can ignite at 700℉. Open cell spray foam is difficult to install and can be messy; it is also not water resistant. But, mineral wool blown consists of small silver particles and if you were to inhale it, it can irritate the alveoli and cause lung disease and cancer. Just being near it can irritate your skin, nose, and eyes. Mineral wool blown also loses its insulating properties and in time, the material subsides. Lastly, open cell spray foam is super

These materials are only a few of a wide range of insulation materials. The materials I covered here are the ones that I used in my house project, or ones that I would recommend be used in a real house. There are many ways to insulate a house, from using materials that you blow into spaces, to materials that can be reused. If more people use proper insulation and make sure holes or cracks in their home are covered, then we can save billions each year by not wasting energy.

Risks of insulation: Bulk Insulation removal and installation can be dangerous due to the materials used to produce them. Anyway, you don't have to worry about asbestos contamination because modern insulation is 100% free from asbestos. Loose-fill types can go everywhere, and you need machines for installation. Reflective insulation, on the other hand; is much straightforward to remove and install.

Before the use of nanocomposites, humans have used natural composites to improve their welfare and way of life throughout history. The Mesopotamians would use natural adhesive to glue wood pieces in different ways to make plywood. Archaeologists have found multiple natural composites used by ancient civilizations, but one of the most prevalent was the use of straw. Utilizing straw allowed these civilizations to increase the strength of their building bricks, thus making there shelters stronger. This is how natural composites were first used by early humans.

After doing some research, I think styrofoam is not as bad to environment as they make it seem. They say styrofoam has some environmental health concerns for the users of it but let’s be honest what material doesn’t? Plastic and aluminum also have a list full of environmental concerns as well. Styrofoam could be continued to be recycled if the recycling centers would stop diminishing

The construction of floors, walls, and roofs that are made from these panels are resistant to moisture, are fire retardant, and can cut the overall cost of materials and labor drastically. No other building materials compare to the results achieved with a sturdy, functionally green, family friendly home when using structural insulated panels.

A whole new economic activity has now emerged because of Keggfarms, which till now was a routine, redundant but a certain source of income even though meagre. The key results could be underlined as: significant contribution to household income, gender Empowerment, alternate livelihoods at several points, food security and environmental converter of rubbish into food. The Govt of India, Department of Animal Husbandry and Dairying, set up a committee headed by a senior technocrat from NABARD to study the rural poultry scenario with a view to include this sector in the venture capital fund of the department in the Tenth Five Year Plan. The study revealed that Kuroiler farming in the traditional style was being extensively practiced in villages with substantial benefits to rural stakeholders. NABARD presented bankable and venture capital funding for Kuroiler farming projects in rural areas In 2009, a joint venture of FAO and NDDB (SAPPLPP) studied the impact of the Keggfarms model of Kuroiler farming in rural India. Results indicated that very substantial benefits were accruing to rural stakeholders. (Kapur & Singh)

Underutilized fruits and crops are usually cultivated, consumed and traded locally. Some of the crops can easier grow and hardly in nature. But, some can

The world’s population is increasing at a rapid rate. According to Worldometers, by 2050 there will be a need to feed 9.2 billion people globally (http://www.worldometers.info/world-population/). This translates to an increase in global food production by 70 percent to meet the global goal (http://www.populationinstitute.org/resources/populationonline/issue/1/8/). However, current food production methods are not sustainable and the amount of arable lands is decreasing. The agriculture industry experiences different challenges ranging from global to technological aspects. The global aspect is the most prominent challenges experienced and influenced by different factors such as dramatic economic growth in developing nations and urbanization

Nowadays, structural insulation panels (SIPs) are used increasingly in a wide range of different structural applications. Therefore, this report investigates into widespread aspects of the SIPs to confirm the appropriateness of panels that can be combined into design work.

Crop diversification in India is generally viewed as a shift from traditionally grown less remunerative crops to more remunerative crops. Crop diversification is needed for raising farm income, sustainable production and income, food and nutritional security, employment generation, poverty alleviation, judicious use of land and water resources and reduction of environmental pollution. It can be defined as a shift of a crop or cropping system to another crop or cropping system and a shift from less profitable and sustainable crop or cropping system to more profitable and sustainable crop or cropping system and use of resources in best possible way by changing and modifying the degree, trend and time optimization of crop / cropping activities.
