To double the agricultural production from the present level and achieve self-sufficiency in all food commodities and achieve 150% of actual consumption in India so that the remaining 50% can be exported or can be stored as buffer stock in the aftermath of famines or other unforeseen natural calamities. 2. To stop farmer suicides by increasing incomes 3. To generate rural employment and stop migration of people to urban areas 4. To modernise agriculture practices, harvesting technologies, marketing structure, procurement, storage facilities and public distribution system 5. To make every district of India self-sufficiency in food grain production in 80% of crops, each state in 90% of crops and country as a whole in 100 % of crops 6. To avoid cross-transportation of agricultural produce and thus reduce transport cost of agricultural produce. It benefits both farmers and consumers 7. To decrease farming input costs and increase minimum support price for all agriculture produce. 8. To gradually reduce dependence on chemical fertilisers and pesticides, and instead promote organic farming by using natural manures and pest control methods. 9. To ensure allocation of all agriculture subsidies only to real farmers and keep rich farmers away from subsidies. 10. To achieve food security, energy security and fodder security 11. To overcome hardships from monsoon failures and frequent floods with advanced water resources management on the ground and by using satellite technology 12. To provide marketing facilities for all agricultural produce 13. To create efficient mechanism to sanction insurance for damaged crops due to floods, famines, drought and cyclones.","PeriodicalId":223408,"journal":{"name":"AgriSciRN: Environmental Impact of Agriculture (Topic)","volume":"383 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122856042","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Bulgarian agriculture is operating in new macro-conditions since Bulgaria joined the EU. This paper shows the main trends of agricultural sector and the level of diversification of the activities, which also is the aim of the study. It represents the adoption of innovation as a possibility for farm development using the collected data. The well-known models of farm management are not bringing the required profit of agricultural activities every time. Furthermore, the scarcity of resources and the increasing need for environmental protection lead to a search for innovative processes and techniques for reaching decent development in the sector. There is a link between the farmer’s age and the willingness to innovate the activities. The main findings show that farmers under 50 are more likely to adopt innovations. Around 37% of the farmers are planning to adopt innovations. The paper outlines some factors that are constraining the processes. Other evidences show that some diverse activities in Bulgaria are an innovation for the area. The innovative activities are: provision of health, social or educational services, snow cleaning, craftsmanship and restaurant services, rural tourism, etc. The methodological framework is based on the following logic: theoretical review of innovation and item discussing the diversification as an innovative concept in agriculture; the state and condition of the Bulgarian agriculture; evaluation of some factors influencing innovative processes in the agriculture based on own survey; evidence of diversification activities based on statistics and own research. According to the analyzed information some general conclusions are made.","PeriodicalId":223408,"journal":{"name":"AgriSciRN: Environmental Impact of Agriculture (Topic)","volume":"61 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-06-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114372390","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Agricultural intensification may be defined as increasing output per unit input per unit time. A narrow definition of sustainable intensification is “production of more food on the same piece of land while reducing the negative environmental impacts and at the same time increasing the contributions to natural capital and flow of environmental services” (Zurek et al., 2015). The definition of SI has evolved to include non-environmental dimensions such as social issues, economics, and the human condition (Loos et al., 2014). The inclusion of social aspects helps ensure a balanced approach to the intensification process. In this guide, we present a framework of objective-oriented SI indicators organized into five domains critical for sustainability: productivity, economic, environment, human condition, and social domains. The objective-oriented indicator assessment is similar to the goal-oriented framework proposed by Olsson et al. (2009) in which objectives of the innovation are identified and then indicators are linked to the objectives to assess performance in a balanced approach across domains. The metrics for each indicator are categorized across spatial scales: field, farm, household, and landscape, so that the assessment can be used for innovations at any scale and so that cross-scale linkages can be considered (Figure 1).","PeriodicalId":223408,"journal":{"name":"AgriSciRN: Environmental Impact of Agriculture (Topic)","volume":"31 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-08-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127778466","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In addition to being a global problem as the name itself indicates, they involve several sectors of society, requires awareness on the importance of the issue, and demand changes in many consumption habits and behavior.The growing emissions of Carbon Dioxide (CO2) and other gases such as methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (NO2) in the atmosphere has caised serious problems such as the greenhouse effect. Owing to the quantity of CO2 issued, it is the gases that contributes the most to global warming . Its emissions represent approximately 55% of the total world emission of greenhouse gases. The time of permanence in the atmosphere ifs from 50 to 200 years.This means that the emission of today will have long-term effects, and may result in impacts on the climate regime throughout many centuries. Carbon markets simply don't address the underlying and root causes of climate change, which is an over-consumption of finite fossil fuels. We are addicted to oil, gas, coal and a whole range of other fossil fuels, which, when burned for heating, electricity generation or other usages, release greenhouse gases. It is now time to make up for the lost decade since Kyoto and start to deal with our underlying reliance on fossil fuels. Offsetting should never be the first step in any carbon-neutral strategy. Instead, companies should seek to reduce their impact on the climate by wasting less energy and by examining their industrial processes to see if they can be made more efficient or less carbon-intensive. An energy audit assists with finding efficiency savings. Companies should only offset those emissions they cannot eliminate.<br><br>This paper focuses on the carbon credit, carbon offsets.The trading of carbon credit, valuation and generation of carbon credit, arguments in favour and against of carbon credit.<br>","PeriodicalId":223408,"journal":{"name":"AgriSciRN: Environmental Impact of Agriculture (Topic)","volume":"73 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122796103","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
