INNOVATIONS IN AGRICULTURE, CHEMISTRY AND PHARMACEUTICAL BIOTECHNOLOGY FOR SUSTAINABLE ADVANCEMENT

Description

Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated. However, it involves a lot of things for people to have a good living. It involves availability of food, wealth and health. There are challenges that people face emanating from natural calamities and contamination from the human behavior. The population explosion and growing climatic uncertainties are expected to cause an increased dependence on ground water in future. Recurrent droughts, inter seasonal dry spells, contamination of ground water and rivers by people periodically lead to massive crop failure, human and livestock mortality, and loss of livelihoods for many rural households in Zimbabwe. Collector wells and water harvesting offer a sustainable agriculture endeavour, while at the same time in mining the use of cheaper materials in the gold industry leads to creation of employment, hence the increase in Gross Domestic Product. Fabrication of Fe-W Oxide Alginate Bead Composite in Gold Recovery reveals an innovative solution for efficient gold extraction. Drought mitigating measures need a robust appropriate technology which increases infiltration rate and reduced surface runoff.
