Sustainability Challenges and Green Innovations in Agro-based Industries of Muzaffarpur, Bihar

Author(s) Ms. Shyama Kumari
Country India
Abstract The agro-centric industry of muzaffarpur, which is based on the lichi, vegetables, grain milling and operational small-scale food processing, is critical in the local livelihoods, rural jobs and added-value to the regional agriculture. Nevertheless, the industries have urgent sustainability issues, including excessive post-harvest losses experienced due to poor cold chains and cold storage facilities; inefficient energy consumption and reliance on fossil fuels; water scarcity and un-sustainability of irrigation; processing effluents and plastic packaging pollute the environment; seasonal labor market and poor market connections; and escalating climatic risks to increase supply volatility. Concerns In response to this a variety of green innovations are being developed on the local level: solar assisted drying and cold storage to minimize spoilage; biogas and biomass boilers to substitute diesel; drip and micro irrigation to save water; community-based waste-tovalue systems (composting and biogas) to deal with residues; adoption of biodegradable packaging and to use simple value-addition technology; and farmer-producer associations to allow collective investment in common green infrastructure. These actions reduce carbon and resource bases as well as enhance the quality of the product and marketability. To make the Muzaffarpur sustainable, such innovations supported by a favorable policy, finance, technical training and better coordination of value-chain can increase resilience, generate green jobs and more inclusive agroindustrial development that is more resistant to environmental harm.
