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.

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.

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.

Poultry Development Policies and Planning for Higher Production in India
Ishmeet Kumar, Harsha Sahu, Asad Khan, Jayesh Vyas

Poultry is one of the fastest growing segments of the agricultural sector in India with an average growth rate of 8 to 10 per cent per year. Meanwhile India is Fastest growing economy in the world. The total Poultry in the country is 851.81 million in 2019, increasing by 16.8% over previous Census. India is now the world's third largest egg producer India produces around 5.8 million MT of Meat and 80 bn eggs annually and the fourth major producer of broilers.

Black Soldier Fly (Hermetia illucens): A Boon to the growing Poultry Industry
Madhavi Kurli et al 

India is among the top five chicken and egg producers in the world, but there are certain challenges to the business for small poultry farmers because of the quality, quantity and cost of feed. The high nutritive value of Black soldier flies aids as a substitute to attribute the challenges. Black soldier fly (Hermetia illucens) is a voracious feeder that can devour a wide variety of organic waste products. This makes black soldier fly larvae an attractive option for poultry farmers looking to reduce the cost of their feedstock. Black soldier fly larvae are high in protein and can be used as a substitute for traditional chicken feed. Not only are they nutritious, but they also provide chicks with important digestive enzymes. In addition, black soldier fly larvae are environmentally friendly and can help reduce the amount of waste produced by chickens.

Management Techniques of Dairy Animal for Optimum Production
Bharat A. Pata, Sneh D. Patel

Dairy farming has changed dramatically from being a traditional family-run business because the dairy industry is organised and every step of the process has technological specialisation. A more practical way for farmers to start and run a sustainable dairy farm that generates optimum profits for the farm and permits long-term care of dairy farms' effects on the environment and animals. Farmers, dairy animal honours, and commercial large farms can easily and comfortably use a variety of technological approaches, including as RFID, facial recognition technology, tracking devices, robotic milking equipment, and automatic cow traffic management equipment.
