Economics of animal-rearing
✅ Read about lumpy skin disease(LSD). Important for #prelims.
✅ #facts4prelims
➖ Lumpy skin disease is caused by the lumpy skin disease virus (LSDV), which belongs to the genus capripoxvirus, a part of the poxviridae family (smallpox and monkeypox viruses are also a part of the same family).
➖ It is not a zoonotic virus, meaning the disease cannot spread to humans.
➖ It is a contagious vector-borne disease spread by vectors.
➖The disease was first observed in Zambia in 1929.
➖The spread in South Asia first affected Bangladesh in July 2019 and then reached India in August that year, with initial cases being detected in Odisha and West Bengal.
➖India is the world’s largest milk producer at about 210 million tonnes annually. India also has the largest headcount of cattle and buffalo worldwide.

Population and associated issues
✅ India’s first Census was held in 1872, conducted non-synchronously in different parts of the country. After that, India has held its decadal censuses regularly from 1881 to 2011, despite diseases, world wars, Partition and other instances of turmoil.
✅ The best of sample surveys find it impossible to beat a census. Some unfounded ideas, flowing from bigotry and prejudice, have been slayed by Census headcounts. E.g. The 2011 Census also dispelled the notion of divorce rate differentials between city and rural India. The urban divorce rate (0.89%) is almost equal to the rural rate (0.82%).
✅ Read the article twice. Important article for #Prelims and #Mains.

#Environment
✅ Impact of Greenwashing:
1. Consumer Deception: Greenwashing can mislead consumers into making purchasing decisions based on false or exaggerated environmental claims.
2. Lack of Accountability: Companies that engage in greenwashing may avoid taking meaningful steps towards genuine sustainability, as they can rely on misleading marketing tactics instead of making real environmental improvements.
3. Stifling Genuine Innovation: Greenwashing can overshadow companies that are genuinely committed to sustainability by making it harder to differentiate between truly eco-friendly products and falsely advertised products.
Overall, greenwashing undermines the efforts of genuinely sustainable companies and confuses consumers who are trying to make environmentally responsible choices. By staying informed and critical of marketing claims, consumers can help combat greenwashing and encourage companies to adopt more transparent and genuinely sustainable practices.
