The agriculture sector is considered the mainstay of Indian economy because it is a significant source of raw materials for industries and demands for many industrial products particularly fertilizers, pesticides, agriculture implements, and a variety of consumer goods. Agriculture takes up new scope and shape and is no longer the customary cultivation of crops and nurturing of animals or an enterprise for the rural people. Agripreneurship may be defined as the amalgamation of agriculture and entrepreneurship. It is the choice to assimilate in the quest to make agriculture an enterprise of adjuration in contemporary business engagements. If agriculture must alter from its largely sustenance status to becoming a competitive enterprise in the gauging of entrepreneurs, incorporation of business concepts in maneuvering issues of agriculture is the way to go. The present study is a review work engrossed in using agribusiness to boost job creation and raise productivity and the income bases of farmers.

Agripreneurship rotate farm into an agribusiness. Agribusiness plays very essential role to re defining agricultural sector in Ethiopia. It make more advantageous venture can lead to economic self-sufficiency which attracts rural people in the present scenario. Agripreneurship provides employment opportunities, income generation, alleviating poverty, food security and rural livelihood in the development aspects. Most of the farmers lack in access of agricultural raw materials, financial assistance, marketing arrangements, accessing new technologies and advisory services for commercial farming. ‘Agripreneurs’ can transform Ethiopian agriculture sector to meet the challenges in the global world. This paper mainly focused on the importance of Agripreneurship and socio cultural background in Ethiopia

The growth of agriculture and allied sectors is critical for the Indian economy as about 49 percent of the population is directly or indirectly dependent on agriculture. During the last decade and so, the agriculture sector has undergone profound changes resulting in sharp deceleration in its growth. The study has attempted to analyze growth and performance of the agriculture sector in India since 1980-81 and tries to comprehend some of the factors responsible for the deceleration in growth. The study has shown that agriculture sector has been able to show tremendous improvement in expansion of area and production of food grain and non-food grain crops. However, there are so many underlying factors responsible for slowdown of the agricultural growth. Some of the factors identified include: Increase in area under non-agriculture uses, excessive dependence on rain fed farming, increase in number of agricultural labourers, reducing size of the operation holdings, over use of agri-inputs, inequity in the distribution of agriculture credit along with sharp deceleration in public gross capital formation in agriculture etc. The study pointed in order to achieve higher growth rate, there is a need to enhance the gross capital formation in agriculture sector particularly on irrigation so that more area can be brought under assured irrigation. Bringing equity in distribution of agricultural credit coupled with judicious and need-based agricultural inputs are some of the other recommendations drawn based upon the study.

Agriculture remains the dominant supporter of the Indian populace. The thriving industry and service sectors depend on the agricultural sector for their development. The inter-linkage among the three sectors could not be undermined at any cost. It is the massive absorbent of the labor force even though the disguised unemployment exists in varied magnitude. The share of agriculture to the GDP has come down from 57.7% in 1950-51 to 32.2% in 1990-91 at the time of liberalization, 24.6% in 2000-2001, 15.7% in 2009-2010 then 17%. In the post-independence era, stagnant production, low productivity, traditional technology, and poor rural infrastructure were the major challenges for the Government. India is principally an agricultural country. The agriculture sector estimates 18.0% of the GDP and employs 52% of the total workforce. There is a continuous steady decay in its presence towards the GDP, and the agriculture sector is losing its shine and anchor position in the Indian economy. The problems with which the Indian agricultural scenario is charged in present times are many. Still, this in no way undermines the interest of the sector and the role it can play in the holistic and inclusive growth of the country. Agriculture is fundamental for the sustenance of an economy, as is food for a human being.

Thinking about innovations that reduce environmental impact and offer quality consumer goods is a way of proposing a future scenario governed by eco-efficiency values. Through an exploratory bibliographic and documentary research, which qualitatively analyses Kombucha authors and fermenters, this article seeks to identify the relationship between biomimetics and bacterial fabric production as an eco-efficient product in the fashion market chain. The general objective of this case study is to explain the fermentation process to encourage the search for raw materials inserted in the sustainability proposal.

With increasing concerns about global warming, and the cement plants emitting huge CO2, it is necessary to know how the CO2 emits and how much the CO2 emits due to cement manufacture in both direct and indirect ways. A precise method to calculate CO2 emissions including three processes was established in this paper and a case study was provided. From the case of LQDX plant, we can see the amount of CO2 emissions at the right level. The summary of CO2 emissions is consisted by emissions from raw materials, fuels and electricity. The direct CO2 emissions are 0.822 ton CO2 per ton clinker, and the total CO2 emissions are 0.657 ton CO2 per ton cement in this study. Therefore, the way that CO2 emissions due to cement manufacture was pictured and then measured. An approach provides a basic framework to identify various situations in different cement plants in China and other in the rest of the world. The framework would be useful in quantitatively evaluating CO2 emissions for government to know precisely CO2 emissions in cement plants.

Clay minerals can be used as raw materials for the production of various industrial products. However, most bentonite and kaolinite deposits contain a significant quantity of non-clay mineral impurities. These impurities often affect the quality of clay minerals for adsorption and catalytic application. Therefore, in order to be used as adsorbents and catalysts, those clay minerals need some beneficiation, activation processing to improve their properties or conversion to a porous materials. In this chapter, an overview of the current state, the properties, the beneficiation, activation as well as the conversion of bentonite, kaolinite… to porous materials such as pillared clays, zeolites and their intended applications were presented. In addition, in this review, the challenges and difficulty in the conversion of bentonite and kaolinite to porous materials were also discussed.

In article the method of formation of structure of disperse systems on a basis of calcium sulfate dihydrate is described. It is based on various concentration of a solution at a surface of particles of the various size. As raw materials it was used calcium sulfate dihydrate − a withdrawal of ceramic manufacture. The picked up structure of particles in the sizes was applied. For acknowledgement of the offered method following researches have been carried out on: solubilities of powders, to deformations of a raw mix, durability of structure. The way of reception of gypsum products allows to simplify technology. Energy expenses decrease. Burning is excluded and the grinding is reduced.
