“…Despite COVID-19 problems, India's food product exports increase by more than 50% in 2021-21. Oil cake meal is the country's most important organic product, followed by fruit pulps and purees, cereals and millets, spices, tea, medicinal plant products, pulses, processed food, dairy products, and so on (Joseph & Ser 2021) [7] . [18] www.extensionjournal.com All Organic food products (Pulses, Spices, Oil, Ghee, Honey etc.)…”

Organic farming also referred to as ecological farming is a sustainable agricultural production method, where farmers use organic substances and apply some special cropping techniques like crop rotation, companion planting, etc. for the purposes of consumption instead of synthetic components to maintain the ecological balance. The global market of organic foods is approximately $ 215,350.2 million in 2023, and it is expected to grow $ 412,927.7 million in 2027 at a CARG rate of 13.9 percent over the organic market growth rate of 16.7 percent in the coming future. Environmental awareness along with the health impacts and issues of chemical pesticides leads to growth in the organic sector. Both organic and conventional methods of production have some positive and negative impacts on the basis of the growing population in the country, which has demanded more food. This cannot be fulfilled without the use of hybrid crops and also having to use some chemical substances that help to minimize crop failure. On the other hand, it also has some negative effects on our environment. Though the organic food market is rising rapidly in both national and international markets, rural markets remain the same because farmers are focusing on quantity rather than quality to make more profit only because of their poor financial condition. To promote organic farming extensive support is required from Government for our farmers and motivate them to sell their products at the highest support price to the regional market. In our research, we try to focus on motivating the farmers at the niche level to adopt the organic farming practice in their major productions.

COVID-19 Bulletins from various countries have been published as the pandemic hit. This focused review provides an overview of the published COVID-19 cases, including the first case detected in respective countries, preventive measures implemented, and vaccinations available for some countries, depending on the time it was written. The countries that will be covered in this review are the United Kingdom, Spain, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, India, Australia, South Africa, and Brunei. This review also discusses the variants of concern (VOCs) that emerged since the start of the pandemic, which include variants: Alpha (B.1.1.7), Beta (B.1.351), Delta (B.1.617.2), Gamma (P.1), and Omicron (B.1.1.529). COVID-19-associated gastrointestinal manifestations and mental health implications and the application of probiotics as a potential adjunct therapy to psychotropic medications will be addressed in this review. Additional information on COVID-19 will also be reviewed, such as risk factors affecting COVID-19 case fatality rate, positive impacts of public health measures, the cost-effectiveness of public health strategies on COVID-19 control, and the COVID-19 pandemic and diet.

“…In comparison to the Alpha variant, which was twice as contagious as the original Wuhan strain, the American Society for Microbiology reported a 40-60% rise in transmissibility of the Delta variant [229]. India was the first country to record more than 400,000 new COVID-19 cases in the first 24 h on 1 May 2021 [230]. According to statistics from Public Health England's weekly report on COVID-19 variant cases, the number of instances of the Delta variant in the UK increased by 33,630 from 11 June to 18 June 2021, for a total of 75,953, representing a 79% increase [231].…”

Severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is a virus that belongs to the coronavirus family and is the cause of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). As of May 2022, it had caused more than 500 million infections and more than 6 million deaths worldwide. Several vaccines have been produced and tested over the last two years. The SARS-CoV-2 virus, on the other hand, has mutated over time, resulting in genetic variation in the population of circulating variants during the COVID-19 pandemic. It has also shown immune-evading characteristics, suggesting that vaccinations against these variants could be potentially ineffective. The purpose of this review article is to investigate the key variants of concern (VOCs) and mutations of the virus driving the current pandemic, as well as to explore the transmission rates of SARS-CoV-2 VOCs in relation to epidemiological factors and to compare the virus’s transmission rate to that of prior coronaviruses. We examined and provided key information on SARS-CoV-2 VOCs in this study, including their transmissibility, infectivity rate, disease severity, affinity for angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptors, viral load, reproduction number, vaccination effectiveness, and vaccine breakthrough.
