Cleaner household energy for agricultural green production can significantly alleviate energy poverty and food security, thus contributing to global sustainable development. Using survey micro-data collected from Sichuan Province, the ordered probit model, OLS model, and instrumental variables approach were applied for empirical analysis. The results show that: (1) cleaner household energy significantly enhances farmer's agricultural green production awareness and improves agricultural green production levels, which is still significant after treating endogenous issues with the conditional mixing process estimation method and 2SLS model; (2) health plays a partially mediating effect of cleaner household energy on agricultural green production awareness and agricultural green production levels; (3) environmental protection awareness and digital literacy have a moderating effect and reinforce the positive impact of cleaner household energy on agricultural green production awareness and agricultural green production levels. This research suggests that governments can enhance the impact of cleaner household energy on agricultural green production through price and subsidy mechanisms.

However, there is limited information on their stover yield (SY) and nutritional quality when both grain and forage are harvested. This study assessed five stay-green sorghum varieties at the Bako Agricultural Research Centre using a randomized complete block design with three replications in 2020, 2021, and 2022.

Fruits and vegetables offer substantial nutritional and health benefits, but their short shelf life necessitates effective preservation methods. Conventional drying techniques, while efficient, often lead to deterioration in food quality. Recent advancements highlight the potential of infrared blanching (IRB) as a preparatory process to improve drying outcomes.

Martin Pugh has drawn attention to the predominantly rural, agricultural support base of the British Union of Fascists. We know that the aspiration to go 'back to the land' was deeply enmeshed with a politics of racial hygiene, which equated the urban with miscegenation and the rural with purity.

Biochar is a novel approach to remediating heavy metal-contaminated soil. Using various organic amendments like phyllosilicate-minerals (PSM), compost, biochar (BC) and sulfur-modified biochar (SMB), demonstrates superior adsorption capacity and stability compared to unmodified biochar (BC). The adsorption mechanisms of SMB are identified for its potential to increase soil-pH and reduce available cadmium (Cd).
