Climate alteration poses analyzable challenges to communities, ecosystems and economies worldwide, from shifting upwind patterns to rising oversea levels, said Taslimarif Saiyed, CEO and Director of the Centre for Cellular and Molecular Platforms (C-CAMP), Bengaluru.

Delivering the Er. Yarlagadda Sreeramulu 22nd Endowment Lecture connected ‘Enabling bio-based innovations for clime and their interaction connected environment, wellness and agriculture’, organised by the Institution of Engineers (India), Andhra Pradesh State Centre, successful relation with Malaxmi Group, Dr. Saiyed said the interaction of clime alteration is progressively evident successful unpredictable weather, utmost heat, predominant floods and increasing challenges successful agriculture and health.

He said determination was anticipation successful nature-based solutions and stressed that biology, done plants, microbes and technological innovation, tin connection sustainable answers to biology and societal problems. Instead of relying solely connected chemicals, helium said agriculture tin follow earthy products derived from plants and seaweed to amended harvest resilience and trim biology harm.

Dr. Saiyed said organisations similar C-CAMP are helping scientists and startups person ideas into applicable solutions. Citing seaweed-based fertilisers and works boosters, helium said specified innovations fortify crops, chopped chemic usage and make livelihoods for coastal communities.
