“…Another study from Odisha conducted a survey of the perception of farmers regarding different activities of FPOs, training, advisory services, financial services, input-supply services, marketing services, storage services, and certification services and found it to be highly positive (Sahoo et al, 2018). Also, most of the Agri-producers are marred by other challenges.…”

Sustainable agriculture has the potential of addressing major social and environmental challenges affecting agriculture in India. One of the ways to promote sustainable agriculture is through certification. This refers to the broad family of voluntary standards set by third-party against which producers are independently audited and certified. An appropriate sustainability framework can guide more effective food procurement by accounting for context in the form of demand architecture and production systems. The study therefore presents a review of five different sustainability certifications prevalent in India with focus on spice certification. These have been analyzed against value drivers, impact pathways to different capitals, sustainability issues, and the stakeholders involved. The results indicate that these certifications cover most common issues with no evident differences indicating the possibility for a need for differentiation to allow consumers choose based on their preferred concerns. An evaluation framework is prepared to make a case for evaluating these certification initiatives to outline the differential parameters.

“…Importance of turmeric (Curcuma longa L. (Zingiberaceae)) in traditional and modern medicines in Asia, the Middle East, and South Africa is well established (Nasri et al 2014;Sharifi-Rad et al 2020). Due to its immense therapeutic potential, the demand of turmeric is constantly rising in the herbal market (Sahoo and Sarangi 2018). Curcuminoids present in turmeric have been identified as bioactive compounds that impart it pharmaceutical properties, often used for treating several ailments including rheumatoid arthritis, chronic anterior uveitis, conjunctivitis, skin cancer, and smallpox Prasad et al 2014).…”

Turmeric (Curcuma longa L. (Zingiberaceae)) is a rich source of medicinally important chemical compounds obtained from both pseudostem (aboveground part) and rhizome (underground part). However, the availability of disease-free elite varieties of the plant is highly restricted. Leaf spot caused by Colletotrichum curcumae Butler & Bisby and bacterial wilt caused by Ralstonia pseudosolanacearum Safni have been reported as major diseases responsible for reduced rhizome productivity in the turmeric plant. Meristem culture is a well-known alternative for production of disease-free mother rhizome. The aim of this investigation was to eradicate bacterial and fungal disease instances through culturing of meristematic tissue pretreated with 1.44 to −2.88 μM GA (gibberellic acid) followed by detection of disease contamination using PCR amplification and chemical assay. Meristem (0.5 to 2.0 mm) was identified as a good material for initiating tissue culture, as it exhibited 100% survival rate and absence of R. pseudosolanacearum and C. curcumae when tested with SPA (sucrose peptone agar), TZC (Kelman's tripheny tetrazolium chloride), and PDA (potato dextrose agar) selective media. Plantlets derived from meristematic tissues of size 2.0 mm were healthy and displayed rapid recovery and uniformity in size. Disease-free status of plantlets (derived from meristem culture) was confirmed by PCR products of specific primers, RP1F/RP1R and RP3F/RP3R for R. pseudosolanacearum and CCactF/CCactR and CChisF/CChisR for C. curcumae. Moreover, shoot elongation using supplemented GA in the culture medium was successfully induced for meristem cutting. All meristem cultures pretreated with GA were confirmed to be contamination-free through TZC, SPA, and PDA media as well as PCR amplification. Based on this study, the 1.0 to 2.0 mm in size of meristem cutting and pretreatment with 1.44 to 2.88 μM GA for shoot elongation were successfully identified in addition to confirming the disease-free status of the plantlets using chemical assay and PCR products.
