About the Conference
Existence of life on the earth primarily depends upon the agriculture, forest, and environment.
Climate Change has drastically affected the agriculture sector. Extreme temperature and
precipitation has prevented crops from growing. Events, especially floods and droughts, have
harmed crops and reduce yields. Trees have been felled recklessly to construct buildings,
hotels and motels thereby disrupting the ecosystem and degrading the environment. Anthrop
genetic factors have caused pollution, destruction of wildlife and massive damage. Measures
should be immediately taken to abate this menace, all stakeholders should come together
and unanimously fight against environmental pollution. To solve the food crisis the need of the
hour is sustainable agriculture. It is undertaken by a society with the goal of producing the
greatest quantity of food over the longest time in order to feed a growing human population
while keeping the environment intact. Sustainable agriculture follows other sustainability
practices where the long-term health of ecosystems and society are taken into consideration.
The ideal in sustainable agriculture is to conserve water, lessen pesticide and fertilizer use,
promote biodiversity in crops and livestock, and prevent soil erosion.
Against this backdrop an International Conference on “Environment, Forestry and Sustainable
Agriculture” has been jointly orchestrated by International Academy of Science and Research
(IASR), Kolkata, PG Dept. of Botany, St. Xavier’s College, Ranchi and Confederation of Indian
Universities (CIU), New Delhi on 14th, 15th and 16th November 2022 at St Xavier’s College,
Ranchi, Jharkhand to vividly discuss on various issues related to environment, forestry and

occasion of the National Science Day on 28th February 2015 based on its incorporation as a Charity
under the Central Act II of 1882, Government of India in Kolkata with the main objective of locating

generation all over the world in general and India in particular with a view to bringing peace on earth in
the third millennium by having country wise appropriate solutions for the burning problems like
peacelessness, poverty, greed, unemployment, faulty educational, training and research
methodologies, religious intolerance, etc., The International Academy of Science and Research (IASR)
has decided to design a master plan paradigm (2016-2025) for a new world order.
The activities of IASR will include the strategies for creating more researchers besides transfer of
appropriate technologies among the globe for ensuring a balanced and a sustainable growth in all
countries of the world by using clean as well as cleaning-up technologies through new and emerging
techniques for climate change management, environmental and disaster education, geriatric care,
