IS THERE A DOCTOR IN MY POCKET?

IS THERE A DOCTOR IN MY POCKET? Hmans have always dreamed of better, fitter, longer-lasting bodies. But while many science-fiction fantasies, from videophones to self-driving cars, have been realized, health technology has lagged behind our hopes. Artificial organs and smart pills have been a long time coming.

One of the most exciting aspects of digital health is the capacity of mobile phones to gather information as well as deliver it. They can collect data from their own sensors and screens, as well as associated devices such as watches, headbands and the growing constellation of add-ons.

Agri-Clinics and Agri-Business Training.

Agri-Clinics and Agri-Business Training. This is a training course in which agriculture related persons are provided training so that they can establish their own business. In this training the persons are trained about businesses which are related to agriculture.

The main motive behind it, is to provide employment to the agriculture persons so that these agriculture students can serve farmers in better ways. These persons are already remain agriculture educated, when this training is provided to them this helps them to understand the business in better ways, so they are able to run the business using their education in the development of agriculture and the farmers status too. This training is for two month. This training is managed by National Institute of Agriculture Extension Management (MANAGE) Hyderabad. This institute establishes Nodal Training institute in states where the student of same state can apply and can take training for these courses. In this training students are provided lodging and boarding at free of cost. The students have to attend class by living in the institute hostel. So they can learn the business strategy and handling of business.

Food is the new Internet.

Why food is the new Internet. We don’t need to feed the world, we need to get smarter about food. The Industrial food system built in the 60s and 70s has left us simultaneously fat and starving and it’s time for it to die.

There’s an opportunity for smart young entrepreneurs to build a new smart food system that supplies the natural, local food people are demanding.

Farmland is available, new technologies have created new possibilities and investors are flooding into the sector.

 Kimbal Musk and his personal mission to remake the American food system in Silicon Valley’s image.

 Kimbal Musk made his money in tech with his brother, Tesla CEO Elon Musk, and sees agriculture as ripe for revolution. He’s fond of calling food “the new internet.”

Nandi farmers using ‘Kangara’ to treat foot and mouth disease.Nandi farmers have devised a new way to control the deadly foot and mouth diseases (FMD) in their livestock by using ‘kangara’, a mixture of molasses and maize flour from which chang’aa, a traditional home-brewed spirit; popular in Kenya is distilled. 

The kangara is fed to cows, goats or sheep with the virus and within four days, the livestock is cured. see

Giving agriculture a global do-over could feed nearly a billion more people.

Giving agriculture a global do-over could feed nearly a billion more people. Globally optimizing which crops we grow where cuts water use and feeds more people. As the human population grows and the human middle class grows in developing countries, we are going to need more. More food, more meat, more energy and producing more is going to require more resources. Since we are just about tapped out of the resources required for food production—namely water and land—we are going to have to figure out how to use these limited resources as efficiently as possible. A number of suggestions have been made to try to achieve this, from the lower tech—like curbing animal consumption and minimizing food waste—to the higher tech, like planting GMOS that might improve yields, developing better fertilizers, and maximizing irrigation efficiency. A new analysis in Nature Geoscience offers up one more: switching what we grow where.
