MODULE 3: ORGANIC FARMING AND WASTE                                                                                                        MANAGEMENT

INTRODUCTION:




                                                                   

Mushrooms are unique in the produce section because they are fungi and not vegetables. What we typically think of as a mushroom is the fleshy, fruiting, spore-bearing body of a fungus. 
Mushrooms form from a small structure called a primordium which grows on some type of substrate. The primordium enlarges into an egg-shaped structure composed of hyphae, called a “button.” Mycelium, called the universal veil, surrounds the button initially. As the button grows, the veil breaks. 
we went there and learnt so many things how to grow a mushroom and how to maintain all things and we enjoyed.

Organic Forming:

Organic farming, also known as ecological farming or biological farming, is an agricultural system that uses fertilizers of organic origin such as compost manure, green manure, and bone meal and places emphasis on techniques such as crop rotation and companion planting. It originated early in the 20th century in reaction to rapidly changing farming practices.


                          
We had a guest talk on organic farming organized by our department. Dr. Harish M N and Mr. Chengappa were the resource persons. Dr. Harish educated us about the various practices of organic farming. He also informed us about poultry farming and the reasons behind deteriorating health of human beings. We gained information about the different macronutrients and micronutrients that a particular crop requires to produce the best yield.
The procedure was explained thus, A pure culture of Pleurotus sp. is needed for inoculation on sterilized substrate. It takes 10-15 days for mycelial growth on cereal grains. It has been reported that jowar and bajra grains are superior over wheat grains.We learnt so many things.

Waste Management:

Waste disposal includes the processes and actions required to manage waste from its inception to its final disposal. Waste can be solid, liquid, or gases and each type has different methods of disposal and management.

                                                 
In most areas of the world, sewage treatment is not done properly, leading to eutrophication and beach closures. According to World Wildlife Fund (WWF) an estimate of 8 million ton plastic ends up in oceans each year.
The aim of waste management is to reduce the dangerous effects of such waste on the environment and human health. A big part of waste management deals with municipal solid waste, which is created by industrial, commercial, and household activity. We went there ,there was a woman she explained everything about waste management system.

Conclusion:

Our college has installed a waste management system and we put all the waste into the dumping pit and then we burn out the waste they explained us about the waste management system.

                    MODULE 4:WATER CONSERVATION  INTRODUCTION: Water conservation is a broad category that covers simple ways to save water at home to complex, long-term measures taken to preserve water on a larger scale. The importance of water conservation becomes even more necessary as there is a limited source of freshwater that is beneficial for all human beings for a Healthy lifestyle. The freshwater available for use is unevenly distributed. Human activities are polluting the water sources threatening the survival of living bein gs. Water is the key to our survival. Covering more than 70% of Earth, this indispensable resource is used for everything from drinking, bathing to even cooking and washing activities. However, despite being surrounded by water, only 1% of the freshwater is actually accessible to mankind for our use as 97% of water is present in oceans, and this saltwater is of no use to us as it is not drinkable. The freshwater that is available for our use is dist
