The International Union of Biological Sciences (IUBS) was established in 1919 as a non- governmental and non-profit organisation comprising of National Academies and international scientific Associations and Societies. Since then IUBS is functioning as a global platform of scientists from all disciplines and nationalities for cooperation, interaction and collaboration to promote research, training, and education in biological sciences.
To commemorate completion of 100 years of promoting excellence in biological sciences, IUBS has launched a Webinar Series bringing the best of all disciplines to discuss evolution, taxonomy, ecology, biodiversity, and other topics that represent unified biology and the topics of prime importance to address contemporary problems such as climate change, endangered species, food & nutrition, health etc.
Join the conversation with this year’s World Food Prize winner Prof. Rattan Lal, moderated by the ISC Communications Director Alison Meston.

In this ecological background, and present economically distressed farmers and farmers bills ,i suggest half the land be given rest by Green Manuring to build soil health. That will reduce food production and will give remunerative farm produce prices.
That alone will ameliorate farmers economy. For having kept half land under Green Manure the GoI should give subsidy to farmers. That would be investment in soil for future sustainability. Where, no WTO riders may come in way. Tx.
I chanced upon and started my day listening to this beautiful lecture. Thank you IUBS and ISC.
