Nature's Solar Power and How it is Revolutionizing Agriculture"

Image
  Solar power is revolutionizing agriculture by providing a sustainable, cost-effective, and efficient energy source. This transformation is helping to modernize farming practices, enhance productivity, and promote environmental sustainability. Solar-powered irrigation: Solar water pumps: these pumps use solar panels to draw water from wells, rivers, or reservoirs, providing a reliable water source for irrigation even in remote areas. Drip and sprinkler irrigation systems: solar energy powers these systems, ensuring precise water delivery to crops, reducing water waste, and improving crop yields. Solar greenhouses: Greenhouses equipped with solar panels generate their own electricity, reducing dependency on external power sources. These greenhouses can maintain optimal growing conditions year-round, increasing the production of high-value crops. Solar-powered machinery: Solar energy can power electric tractors, harvesters, and other farm machinery, reducing reliance

Sustainable Development Goals: No Poverty

  Poverty, which has taken shape in different dimensions under the influence of the condi­tions from the past to the present, can be defined as the deficiency experienced by people in ful­filling their life functions or the living standards being below the average level. Poverty results from a lack of critical capabilities, such as insufficient income or education, bad health, insecurity, low self-confi­dence, a sense of powerlessness or the lack of rights such as freedom of expression. Especially with the increased bad conditions, poverty has gained a higher level called extreme poverty. Poverty is the inability to satisfy fundamental human requirements such as food, water, sanitation, safe energy, education and a means of subsistence. With the spread of technology and the rise in liv­ing standards, there was an expectation that the problem of poverty would be overcome through­out the world.

  The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), also known as the Global Goals, were adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015 as a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure that all people enjoy peace and prosperity by 2030. The 17 SDGs are integrated—that is, they recognize that action in one area will affect outcomes in others, and that development must balance social, economic, and environmental sustainability. Through the pledge to Leave No One Behind, countries have committed to fast-track progress for those furthest behind first. That is why the SDGs are designed to bring the world to several life-changing ‘zeros’, including zero poverty, hunger, AIDS, and discrimination against women and girls. Everyone is needed to reach these ambitious targets. The creativity, know-how, technology, and financial resources from all of society are necessary to achieve the SDGs in every context.    1 No Poverty 2 Zero Hunger 3 Good Health and well
