Food security has become a global threat, calling into question the sustainable development of the planet. We face an unprecedented challenge driven by: - Population growth: The demographic explosion, especially in developing countries, is increasing the demand for food. - Dietary change: The shift to a ‘protein diet’ and increased meat consumption is increasing the pressure on agriculture. - Food waste: in developed countries, huge amounts of food are thrown away. - Climate change: global warming leads to droughts, floods, reducing crop yields. - Soil degradation: 30% of the planet's soil is already degraded and 60-70% is in various stages of degradation. We are losing it 50-100 times faster than it is regenerating! A transition to sustainable agriculture is needed, including: - Introduction of innovative technologies: Biological methods of plant protection, biomineral fertilisers, seed treatment with bioproducts. - Preservation of soil biodiversity: Increase of organic matter content, normalisation of soil biota. - Optimisation of pesticide use: Minimise quantity and environmental impact. The use of pesticides for intensification of agriculture leads to the accumulation of harmful substances and causes damage to human health and the environment. The solution to this problem is rational use, introduction of alternative methods, biological control, sustainable farming. Graph 1. Impact of pesticides on human health. Soil conservation is a global challenge. It is necessary to switch to sustainable agricultural practices, reduce the use of pesticides and chemical fertilisers, and adopt ecological farming practices. Soil is the foundation of life: - Healthy soil is a guarantee of healthy food, a home for a multitude of organisms. - Soil formation is a complex process involving physical, chemical and biological influences. - Soil degradation is a global threat caused by intensive ploughing, chemicalisation of agriculture and changes in microflora. - Consequences of degradation: Loss of fertility, loss of topsoil. Key agronomic practices for soil restoration: - Optimising C/N ratio: Maintaining the optimum ratio of carbon (C) to nitrogen (N) in the soil (25:1) for soil biota health. - Increasing organic matter content: - Using fertilisers containing humates and beneficial soil microorganisms. - Soil health technologies: Use of bioproducts to introduce biodiversity of beneficial microorganisms and reduce phytopathogenic background. - Treatment of crop residues with Effect Bio®: accelerates residue decomposition, forms fertile humus, suppresses pathogen growth. - Application of biomineral fertilisers. Multilayer granules of prolonged action, strengthens plant immunity. - Seed treatment with bioproducts: stimulates growth, strengthens immunity, improves nutrition, increases yield. An integrated approach to farming will restore soil health and ensure sustainable food production.

Breastfeeding is critical for an infant's health, providing essential nutrients and immunity. However, due to various challenges—such as maternal health issues, the risk of infections in medical facilities, and a lack of breast milk banks—many mothers in Russia are forced to rely on formula feeding. This increases the risk of health complications in infants, such as necrotizing enterocolitis, sepsis, and weakened immune systems, leading to higher mortality rates and prolonged recovery times for premature babies. To address these challenges, SaveMyMilk introduces an innovative breast milk pasteurization device that enables safe and efficient preparation and storage of breast milk, preserving its beneficial properties while eliminating harmful microbes. The device utilizes LTLT (Low Temperature Long Time) technology, a gentle pasteurization method that maintains milk quality. By enabling hospitals and even small medical facilities to create breast milk banks, the solution promotes breastfeeding, reduces reliance on formula, and ultimately saves lives by improving infant health outcomes.

An innovative co-cultivation of microalgae in a hydroponic system for the sustainable development of a food and agriculture

Providing a population with high-quality food products is an important task in modern science and production. Global climate change has led to an increase in the frequency of natural hazards, such as floods, droughts, hurricanes, tornadoes, and frost. In addition, because of economic activity and irrational environmental management, the area of arable land has been reduced. These negative factors threaten crop production and global food security, and pose serious challenges to the production of staple foods through conventional agriculture. Hydroponics is a soilless farming method used to combat the shortage of cultivable land and improve food security in urban areas. In recent years, there has been a growing trend towards the use of microalgal inoculants as replacements for chemical fertilizers and non-renewable resources. The ncorporation of microalgae into hydroponic systems has many potential benefits. These organisms are biostimulants that positively affect plant growth by increasing their resistance to abiotic stress and nutrient absorption efficiency (Chiaiese et al., 2018). In a hydroponic system, there is often a symbiotic association between microalgae and plants, providing the root respiration of plants with oxygen produced by microalgal photosynthesis. The basic idea of our practice is co-cultivation vegetables together with algae. We grew cucumber plants together with Chlorella vulgaris – a model algae–in different physiological experiments in hydroponics. In our study, we created a simple hydroponic system (Vildanova et al., 2023). Cucumber seeds were soaked in distilled water in petri dishes for germination for 3 days. Glass cans with volumes of 150–200 mL were used as a simple hydroponic system. Knop solution was added to the Chlorella vulgaris suspension at a ratio of 1:1. Shoot and root lengths were measured using a ruler. Parts of the seedlings were laid on a filter paper until they were completely dry. Then, the weight of each shoot and root was measured on an analytical scale. During cultivation in a Knop medium with the addition of Chlorella suspension, the length of the shoots was shortened from 11.30 to 8.15 cm, while Root length also decreased from 16.41 to 10.59 cm. At the same time, root biomass increased from 0.04 0.05 g. Our research demonstrates that, under the influence of Chlorella vulgaris suspension, changes in the length of the shoots and roots do not always coincide with a difference in dry biomass. The change in biomass more accurately reflects the influence of algae because the shortening of shoots and roots is accompanied by an increase in their thickness. Thus, this study allows us to recommend it as a biostimulator for growth in hydroponic systems for wider use in agriculture.
