Sustainable Ocean Ecology - The Key to Feature Food Security

 


Sustainable Ocean Ecology by Farmsio - The Key to future of food security. The growing human population, increase in per capita income and the global shift in the interest for nutritious food is considering raising the demand for Aquatic food resources.


As you know marine species feed 17-18% of the world's population. This we can classify into Fresh Water Aquaculture, that is inland freshwater fisheries and Seafood, that is the foods from the sea and marine resources.  


Resource constraints like availability of land, proper water quality of required quantity exist.

In the future seafood alone can meet the need. Ocean ecosystem provides 80% of the world's biodiversity, so it is highly important to have control over the magnitude of ocean fishing and protect our marine flora and fauna. It is a challenging task to maintain biodiversity.

  FARMSIO  has developed innovative and digitalised  farm management software  using   Climate Smart Agriculture  for the benefit of the stakeholders in the food value chain. The technology for agricultural solutions are built on the premises of  sustainable agriculture  with a focus on conserving energy and resources in farming,  market linkages  for integrating the stakeholders on both down and upstream of the  food supply chain ,  food traceability  to optimise the input resources, quality and quantity of them used and above all the  climate-smart agriculture  adaptability and appropriate farming practices to thwart the risks.  The mitigation measures in the climatic risks are classified into: Cropping systems Livestock systems Forest systems Fisheries, aquaculture and oceanic systems and  Biodiversity. This blog has extensively used the well-researched inputs published by the Food and Agriculture Organisation and acknowledges the yeomen services offered to humankind and nature holi

Weaving Bales with Bytes: A Case for Cotton Digitalization

  Cotton has been a profitable crop for the past 7000 years otherwise our ancestors would have dropped it. It is one of the most sustainable fibre. For a very long time, India was known for cotton fabrics, while the rest of the world clad in wool. Today, cotton is cultivated in about 80 countries around the globe. India ranks no. 1 in cotton production, contributing to 33.23% in the total area of the world. One in every four hectares of cotton grown around the world comes from India. The role cotton plays in an agricultural-based economy like India can't be overlooked. With the advent of better hybrids, fertilizers and pesticides in the post-Green Revolution years (the late 1960s), the yield increased multifold and cotton farming prospered in the sub-continent. This surge in supply, accompanied by the changing consumer preferences from tailor-made to readymade garments and popular media influence boosted the cotton textile industry and has created job opportunities for millions of
