Smog: The New Menace in the Grow Field-and Agricultural World That Infiltrates Argument Introduction to Smog and its Damage in Plant Ecosystems Smog is a deadly air pollutant created by discharges from industries, emissions from vehicles, and chemical interactions, among other constituents that are found in the atmosphere. Smog comprises ground-level ozone, particulate matter, and other noxious chemicals, which can pose huge threats to the health of human beings and that of plant ecosystems. Indiscriminately affecting agricultural systems, it threatens global food security as well as biodiversity.   The Science of Damage by Smog in Plants How Smog Affects Photosynthesis Photosynthesis is one of the major effects that smog plays on plants. Its arrangement with plant tissues, one major component of smog, ozone, is important because it will lead to the breaking down of chlorophyll and hence less solar energy consumption by the plant. Ultimately, it tends to slow down the growth, reduc...

Cumulative Insights in Plant Health and Sustainable Agriculture

Cumulative Insights in Plant Health and Sustainable Agriculture Plant Health and Global Food Security Plant health is as important for sustainable agriculture as for food security at the global level. The majority of food, oxygen, and raw materials the human being needs to survive all come from healthy plants. Invasive pests, climate change, and pollution have been the biggest threats to plant health, leading to threats to agricultural productivity and ecosystem stability.   Major Threats to Plant Health 1.  Invasive Pests: The introduction of alien species disturbs and sometimes destroys both ecosystems and crops. The typical examples are fall armyworms and desert locusts, whereby they destroy staple crops and emerge food insecure. 2.  Climate Change: Increasing temperatures and erratic rainfall patterns stress plants, thus making them more susceptible to fungi, diseases, and pest infections. Prolonged droughts or oppressive heat, as well as serious rain events, lower cr...

Enhancing Animal Health: Antimicrobial Resistance Combatants for the Safe Future

Enhancing Animal Health: Antimicrobial Resistance Combatants for the Safe Future AMR is such a global menace; the whole human, animal, and ecological systems are in danger from its potency. The animal health sector can no doubt play a significant role in this global battle against AMR through the involvement of sustainable practices and international cooperation. The animal health sector, progress in fighting AMR, and strategies to keep moving forward are discussed in this article.   Antimicrobial Resistance as a Concept in Animal Health What is AMR? When there is adaptation of the microorganisms to be immune against the effect of using the antimicrobial drugs, this condition is called AMR. For animal health, excess or inappropriate use of antibiotics in livestock hastens the process. Impact on Public and Animal Health ●  Human Health Risks:  Resistant bacteria harbored by animals can reach humans by either direct contact, contaminated food, or through the environment. ● ...

Inclusively Resource on Animal Health: Livestock Security and Public Welfare

Inclusively Resource on Animal Health: Livestock Security and Public Welfare Animal health is indeed an important element in the sustainable agriculture realities; it is indispensable for food security and public health. Such health animal concerns for suitable preventive measures against the disease spread from animals to man, for improving productivity, and hence for the protection of the ecosystem as well. This article probes into all facets of animal health with special reference to the prevention and control of diseases and integration of modern technology.   Understanding the Importance of Animal Health Impact on Food Security Healthy livestock produce food, including meat, dairy products, and eggs, as it should always be. Disease outbreaks within animal populations can disrupt their supply chains, feeding into shortages of food production and economic dislocation. Interrelationships with Public Health Zoonoses are diseases that transfer from animals to people, and they are b...
