Green or Green Desserts ?
Abstract: Human started agriculture around 9500 BC. Since then many agricultural techniques were adoptedand abandoned. Today’s agricultural technique is completely different from when it was started orsome hundreds of years ago. Even though agriculture practices are dangerous for environment. Sinceancient time, forests were cut down to cultivate, and now extreme use of land for agriculture made itlose its fertility, and causing land go barren. Here, in this paper, we have discussed …
