India is an influential agricultural powerhouse worldwide, having farmers and all related workers as its backbone. Like many other sectors, the agricultural landscape also faces decades-long problems and unexpected challenges that are crucial to rectify. Let’s discuss some of the main issues farmers face in India and the best possible solutions.

Digital Pathology: An Overview
Baraiya et al
Digital pathology (DP) is a sub-field of pathology that focuses on data management based on information generated from digitized specimen slides. Through the use of computer-based technology, digital pathology utilizes virtual microscopy.

Aflatoxin: Toxicity to Dairy Animals and Harmful Effect of milk to Human
Lokendra
A collection of naturally occurring toxins known as aflatoxins, or mycotoxins, are mostly produced by the molds Aspergillus flavus and Aspergillus parasiticus. They have harmful effects on people, animals, and crops and can cause sickness as well as financial losses.

Role of Rural Women Farmers in Economic Development in India
Tania Roy and Subhojit Chatterjee
Women are the backbone of any developed society. The Central role of women in any society ensures stability progress and long term developed of a nation. Rural Women farmer play an important role on the economic development of India because 73.2 % of rural women workers are farmers. Women farmers perform most of the big farming jobs

Air Quality and Emission from livestock Production system: - A Review
Rajput et al
Air quality defined as the degree of pollution of clean air. The lower the concentration of air borne pollutants, the better is the air quality. Odor, ammonia, nitrous oxide, hydrogen sulphide, methane, non-methane volatile organic carbon, dust, and microbial and endotoxin aerosols from livestock and poultry buildings have an impact on animal health. Animal production operations like manure handling, floor washing, feedlot surface and dung are the major contributor of air pollution in livestock farm. The rates of odour, manure gases, microbes, particulates, and other constituent’s generation vary with weather, time, species, and housing, as well as manure handling system, feed type, and management method.

The small empires that sustain life on Earth are burning
Reddy et al
Recently a cadre of scientists took on the near-Sisyphean task of estimating the number of ants in the world. They came up with 20 quadrillion – a 20 with 15 zeros after it. For each human on earth, there are at least 2.5 million ants. That widely reported number reinforced common assumptions about insects: that they are ubiquitous to the point of annoyance and worse – not merely disrupting our picnics but also stinging us, befouling our food, and spreading disease. They are a blight we could do without. The reality is starkly different. Insects from beetles to blowflies keep our environment ticking. They nourish soils, they break down feces and human and animal remains, and they are food themselves for birds, amphibians, and mammals. Globally, some three-quarters of human food crops depend to some degree on pollination by insects. And the problem with insects is not abundance, but worrisome signs of scarcity. Insects around the world are in steep decline, in what may be the most consequential loss of life on earth since the wipe-out of the dinosaurs. The tiny empires that prop up terrestrial life are on fire, yet we can barely comprehend the flames licking at our feet.

Nitrate leaching from agriculture fields
Nagdev et al
Nitrate leaching is a naturally occurring process, it occurs when mobile nitrate from the mineral nitrogen pool is washed out of the root zone by runoff. The main form of nitrogen that is leached is nitrate (NO3). Other forms of nitrogen, such as ammonium (NH4+), generally do not leach. Nitrate is very mobile therefore it can be easily transported by water. Manures, decompose of plants and other organic materials, fertilisers are possible sources of nitrates. When it is within the root zone, there is no issue, but if it enters the groundwater and other freshwater areas, it becomes an environmental hazard.
