ContextAssessing the sustainability of milk production in India (the largest milk producer country in the world) is essential to ensure that the dairy industry can meet the growing demands for dairy products while minimizing its negative impact on the environment, society, and the well-being of the people involved in the sector.ObjectiveCurrent research is intended to compare the emissions associated with packed milk production in two contrasting states, Punjab (an Indian state with helpful agricultural resources and plenty of water) and Rajasthan (a state with a significant desert area) of India. The dairy industry has to undergo different production processes, including livestock, feed, farming, transportation, processing, packaging, and distribution. All of these production steps generate environmental impacts. This study aims to compare the environmental impacts of milk production in Punjab and Rajasthan by understanding the variation in the ecological effects due to the modifications adopted in dairy practices.MethodsThis study uses Umberto LCA+ with Ecoinvent v3.6 dataset as a Life cycle assessment (LCA) tool and data collected from milk producers and processing plants. The primary data was collected from farmers (milk producers) and dairy plants (processing plants), real-time observations, and inputs from the processing plant staff. The LCA analysis was performed, including parameters such as feed agriculture, milking, storage, transportation, processing, packaging, and distribution.Results and conclusionThe analysis results indicate that milk production in Punjab is more environmentally efficient than in Rajasthan, and the feed required for cattle is a critical environmental impact-generating activity along with the selection of packaging material for processed milk.SignificanceThe current article assesses the environmental implications of milk production. The study employs a comprehensive analysis to inform sustainable practices and reduce the ecological footprint of this crucial industry.

This study explores innovative financing models and future directions in healthcare, with a focus on assessing financial impact on digital health outcomes and advancing sustainable healthcare innovation. As digital health technologies like AI, IoT, and telemedicine transform patient care, the need for adaptable and value-based financing mechanisms becomes critical. Traditional models, often inadequate for the rapid pace of digital health, are compared to novel approaches such as public-private partnerships, outcome-based financing, and tiered pricing. The research examines how these models can drive equitable access, incentivize innovation, and improve patient outcomes globally. Through evaluating financial strategies, this study provides insights into scalable frameworks that prioritize both fiscal sustainability and impactful health outcomes, paving the way for a resilient, technologically integrated healthcare ecosystem.

Subconscious Factors Affecting Consumer Preferences Toward Green Investments

The global shift toward sustainability changes the behaviour of consumers, thus altering investment decisions. Conscious factors involve financial performance and risk management in finance, thereby changing consumers' preferences toward green investments; the subconscious ones have even more motivating effects. This chapter surveys the underlying psychological mechanisms that may explain this: cognitive dissonance, social norms, emotional resonance, and the application of cognitive bias-including the availability heuristic and the halo effect. Unconscious drivers- such as the desire for moral identity, loss aversion, and reciprocity- do not bias green finance appetite among consumers. Furthermore, this literature reveals that cognitive priming effects, green branding and narrative framing would subtly inform decision-making in such cases. Awareness of these factors brings a deeper understanding of why people are so keen on and attracted to green investments.
