 Earthworms and their role in soil fertility enhancementEarthworms are known as the friends of farmers since Darwin. But it is only recently that their full potentialities have been evaluated and they are being used in growing food almost every where in the world. There are a total of about 4400 earthworm species known but only a countable are being employed in agriculture. The article explains every details of these agriculturally important earthworms and suggest the best way to derive maximum benefit out of them.

DISASTER PREPAREDNESS IN AGRICULTURE IN INDIADisaster is a catastrophe, mishap, calamity or grave occurrence affecting an area, arising from natural or manmade causes, or by accident or negligence which results in substantial loss of life or human suffering or damage to, and destruction of, property, or damage to, or degradation of, environment, and is of such a nature or magnitude as beyond the coping capacity of the community of the affected area. Disaster mitigation in agriculture is essential.Education has an important role in it. DROUGHT LIKE SITUATION OF 2009 IN ORISSAFor eastern India year 2009 is an El Nino year meaning there will be less rainfall this year. Till date precipitation received is so meagre that kharif cultivation is yet to start, even if it is the end of first week of July. Kharif cultivation appears to be hard hit. Food security in the entire region is highly threatened. Biodiversity and its conservationBiodiversity is the nature's gift to mankind.Plant diversity is reciprocal to animal diversity and both are important to man for its very survival. Currently biodersity is under threat. Biodiversity together with ecosystem diversity and population diversity are in the decline. Without biodiversity and with one species dominating the eco system is threatened and is bound to perish beyond its carrying capacity. MUNICIPAL SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT THROUGH VERMICULTUREMunicipal solid waste management has been a poblemetic issue in most tropical countries of the world. MSW, if properly managed, can be a source of energy and soil fertility enhancing vermi compost and its faulty management can spread epidemics. The author wishes to throw some light as to how MSW can be better managed. Why We Should Reject the Current Agri Practices and What Should We Do to Meet the Ever Increasing Global Hunger SustainablyModern agri practices have resulted in crops that are seral community,the GM crops have failed, the food is devoid of Vit.A&C, zinc & copper, manganese, nickel & cobalt, contains more carbohydrate and less protein all due to the applications of ACFs, pests show more resistances, pesticides result in more human deaths than pests. Sustainable agriculture produce healthy and tasty food, the B:C ratios are high. There is no chance of hman death in this agriculture. Environmental Protection and Sustainable DevelopmentSustainable development is defined as the process of development that meets the need of the present generation without compromising the ability of the future generations to meet their need. Actual State of Organic AgricultureOrganic agriculture is about more than just growing crops without using either chemical fertilizers and synthetic pesticides, rather it a holistic approach to the very system of farming that restores, maintains and enhances economical sustainability and ecological balance generating non toxic, healthy and tasty food or medicine or dye with natural fragrance and colour. Rejuvenation of Mangroves for Disaster ManagementTropical cyclones are characterstics of the warm seas who have estuaries along the coasts. Nature has provided mangroves in these estuaries inabnundance. Human interferencence alters this natural balances.
