Microalgae for Sustainable Animal Nutrition
TERI is harnessing the potential of microalgae to revolutionize animal nutrition, addressing the escalating demand for sustainable feed alternatives in poultry, aquaculture, and cattle rearing. Our research focuses on naturally resilient strains isolated from mangrove ecosystems.
Based on preliminary ground survey in khazans of different talukas in Goa, The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI) has demonstrated an ecological gradient from freshwater-dominated upstream systems to brackish and hypersaline downstream environments. Such gradient drives soil productivity, water conditions and crop variations.
Key objectives of the present scope of work are:
Post-Green Revolution Challenges
Fifty years after the Green Revolution, India is navigating "second-generation" agricultural challenges. Intensive, inorganic chemical-based farming has led to a decline in crop productivity, deteriorating soil health, and a loss of soil organic carbon.
The Hon'ble High Court of Madras, through its order dated 10.01.2025 in WP Nos. 27356 and 28266 of 2022 and WMP Nos. 13292, 13294, 35572, and 3700 of 2024 have directed the concerned authorities to take prompt and decisive action regarding environmental violations.
