ജൈവ വളങ്ങളും കീട നിയന്ത്രണവും
രാസ വളങ്ങൾക്കും രാസ കീടനാശിനികൾക്കും പകരം കൃഷിക്ക് ജൈവ വളങ്ങളും ജൈവ കീടനാശിനികളും ഉപയോഗിക്കാൻ കഴിയും ഇത്തരം വളങ്ങൾ നമുക്ക് നമ്മുടെ ചുറ്റുപാടിൽ നിന്ന് ലഭിക്കുന്ന വിഭവങ്ങൾ ഉപയോഗിച്ച് വളരെ എളുപ്പത്തിൽ നിർമ്മിക്കാൻ കഴിയും ഇത്തരത്തിലുള്ള ചില ജൈവ വളങ്ങളെയും കീട നിയന്ത്രണത്തെയും കുറിച്ചുള്ള വിവരങ്ങളാണ് ഈ പുസ്തകത്തിൽ പ്രതിപാദിക്കുന്നത്

Plastic Litter Study Final Report
Plastics in the ocean is a global concern not just because of its impact on ecosystems but on economy dependent upon resources from the ocean. The coastline is a corridor of exchange of life between two entirely different ecosystems – ocean and land. Characteristics of aquatic eco system and land ecosystem merges on this belt. Presence of plastic litter on coast is an index on pollution especially for this ecologically sensitive zone. Zero Waste & Climate Action team of Thanal conducted the study to develop plastic litter index for the coast of Kerala. Plastic litter samples were collected from 59 locations along the coast at regular intervals of 10 kilometre. Collected samples were analysed on the basis of type of plastic and on the nature of utility of the product. The study finds that 1.66 pieces of plastic is present in every square meter of beach along the coast of Kerala. Index value in terms of weight of plastic is calculated to be 10.31grams per square meter. 17 crore plastic pieces weighing 1057 tonnes is estimated to be present along the Intertidal Zone of Kerala.

Commodification of Nature and Knowledge – The TBGRI – Kani Deal in Kerala
commodification-of-nature-and-knowledge-the-tbgri-kani-deal-in-kerala
The purpose of this project is to propose sector-wise adaptation and mitigation strategies to develop Meenangadi Panchayat of Wayanad district in Kerala as a ‘Carbon Neutral Panchayat’by carrying out a carbon emission and sequestration analysis in the sectors of Transportation, Energy, Waste, Livestock and AFOLU (Agriculture, Forests and Other Land Use). The concept of ‘Carbon Neutral Community’ puts forth the notions of zero-carbon development and food- energy self-sufficiency at the local government level.
The estimate shows that there was an excess of carbon emissions (Surplus of total emissions over total sequestration in terms of CO2Eq) of 11,412.57 tonnes of CO2Eq in 2016-17.
