The Viksit Krishi Sankalp Abhiyan under the Khet Bachao Abhiyan was implemented by Krishi Vigyan Kendra, Kotwa, Azamgarh-I, to strengthen the dissemination of scientific agricultural technologies through direct farmer?scientist interaction. During the campaign, field outreach activities were conducted in more than 100 villages across all 17 development blocks of Azamgarh district. Farmers received practical guidance on balanced nutrient management, Natural Resource Management (NRM), integrated pest and disease management (IPM), scientific crop production, horticultural practices, post-harvest management and household nutrition. Field visits, crop diagnostics and interactive discussions enabled timely technical support and strengthened the linkage between farmers and KVK scientists. The campaign demonstrated the effectiveness of field-based extension in delivering need-based scientific advisories and promoting sustainable agricultural practices.

"Why human, animal and environment health are connected - and why treating them as one is the work of the century"

The environment, animals, and human health are all part of one story rather than three distinct ones. Ebola, COVID-19, bird flu, and the slow-burning problem of antibiotic resistance are all found where people, animals, and ecosystems converge. One Health is the term for the 20-year-old notion that these seams can only be addressed together, which has been embraced by the world's leading agricultural and health organisations. This feature examines the origins of this concept, why it is important to both veterinarians and the general public, how it appears in everything from the family dog to the world's livestock and wastewater, and why its potential still depends on dismantling disciplinary barriers.

Agriculture stands at the crossroads of two urgent global challenges: feeding a rapidly growing world population while simultaneously confronting the mounting pressures of climate change. Climate-Smart Agriculture (CSA) has emerged as a strategic framework that seeks to enhance agricultural productivity and household incomes, strengthen climate resilience, and reduce or eliminate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions where feasible. Without transformative adaptation strategies, climate change is projected to reduce global crop yields and increase food insecurity, while rising GHG emissions further exacerbate the crisis. This article explores the core structures, practices, and technologies underpinning CSA, including precision agriculture, regenerative farming, soil and water conservation, agroforestry, and digital tools, which together form an integrated pathway toward sustainable food production in an era of unprecedented environmental change.
