দেলোয়ার জাহিদ: বিশ্ব সামুদ্রিক দিবসটি অত্যন্ত গুরুত্ব বহন করে কারণ এটি সামুদ্রিক শিল্পের সাথে বৈশ্বিক দারিদ্র্য এবং ক্ষুধাকে সংযুক্ত করার জটিল ওয়েবের অনুস্মারক হিসাবে কাজ করে। যদিও দিবসটি প্রাথমিকভাবে সামুদ্রিক অর্জন এবং পরিবেশগত স্টুয়ার্ডশিপ উদযাপন করে, এটি পরোক্ষভাবে খাদ্য নিরাপত্তা এবং অর্থনৈতিক মঙ্গল নিশ্চিত করার ক্ষেত্রে সমুদ্রগুলি যে গুরুত্বপূর্ণ ভূমিকা পালন করে তা তুলে ধরে।

Dr. Md. Monirul Islam: Biopharming, also known as molecular farming is a field of biotechnology that involves using genetically modified plants or animals as bioreactors to produce valuable pharmaceuticals, vaccines, or industrial compounds. These genetically engineered organisms are designed to express specific genes that encode the desired products, allowing for large-scale production of high-value bioproducts. Biopharming offers a cost-effective and potentially safer alternative to traditional manufacturing methods for pharmaceuticals and other bioproducts.
Climate impacts estimated to have reduced farmer incomes by 15.7% on average over the past two years / Most pressing short-term challenges dominated by economic uncertainty and cost concerns / Yet 4 in 5 farmers have already taken or plan to take steps to reduce greenhouse gas emissions
Agrilife24.com: In sub-Saharan Africa, 80% of agricultural production is from smallholder farmers, who face constraints on increasing farm productivity resulting in a large yield gap. Extensive rain-fed agriculture (90% of all cropland) under unpredictable and erratic rainfall pattern is a leading cause of the low productivity and food insecurity in Africa, together with a low degree of mechanization. This has been reinforcing a persistent poverty trap, triggered by cyclical famines that are jeopardizing local development opportunities.

At all scales of operations in broiler production, the supply of day-old chicks is a top priority, with fertility and hatchability being two major factors that have great influence on the supply. Here we examine the main factors that impact egg fertility and hatchability and what can be done to increase the likelihood of a positive outcome.
