description In many parts of the world food security is being affected due to declining quality and/or quantity of the soil resource base and climate change. Climate change summits are being held worldwide to prevent crop failures. Notwithstanding this fact, one of the root biophysical causes of falling per capita food grain production is reported to be soil resource degradation. In order to reverse this trend of soil base degradation, it is necessary to either expand the land base under cultivation or to intensify crop production per unit of land. Soils are either inherently low fertile or made less fertile due to the removal of nutrients without adequate replenishment by intensive farming. It is in this context that the farming with nanoporous zeolites assume significance.
