The sustainable use of water, or any other natural resource for that matter, is not the only factor that should be considered in terms of sustainability, as social equity and economic prosperity are equally important. The objective of this study was to analyse different breeds of beef cattle, following the same production method, in terms of their water footprint and economic value addition for different links in the value chain. A bottom-up approach was applied to identify the breed with the best economic water consumption in terms of beef production. The results indicated that the total WF/kg carcass revealed notable differences between the various breeds. The Bonsmara had the smallest WF/kg carcass, while the Limousin had the largest. The WF/kg of beef for the different cuts (rib eye, topside, and flank) showed large variations between the breeds and between the different cuts of beef from the same breed. In terms of the economic water consumption, the Angus consumed between 4% and 25% less water per rand of economic value addition than the Bonsmara, Simmentaler, Simbra, Limousin, Afrikaner, and Brahman. When the economic water consumption of the individual value links was considered, it was found that Bonsmara had the best figures for cow–calf production, while the Limousin and Simmentaler were the best in terms of feedlot finishing and processing, respectively. These contradicting results showed the importance of a bottom-up approach to ensure that the fallacy of division does not occur and, secondly, that possible problem areas in the value chain are identified and addressed separately.

The subject of corporate finance has assumed tremendous significance in the light of the ongoing economic uncertainty across the world. Apart from the three most important decisions of fund raising, fund deployment and generation of returns, greater emphasis has been laid down upon creating a long term value through Economic value addition (EVA). The role of assets in generation of cash flows has become even more pronounced in modern day changing dynamics. More than the external factors, India has certain homegrown structural problems which seriously needs to be addressed at this juncture; the prominent ones being ensuring a high ICOR and addressing the supply side bottlenecks in the economy. Indian companies will have to address the financial problems in the light of the current macroeconomic turmoil of high inflation and revised growth projection of 5%. This has to be done despite having a sound corporate financial framework. This paper attempts to address these problems and tries to suggest some solution to overcome the period of uncertainty

Carbon capture is one of the most improving technology of late, with the advent of climate change globally. Work behind carbon capture is still at a progressive stage as far as India is concerned. Carbon capture involves state of the art technology and heavy economic value addition. Since Carbon dioxide is known for its devastating threat towards mankind and habitat, hence developing and adopting carbon capture mechanisms would lead to draining back ecological balance. In this paper we would be trying to come out with possible technologies that can be implemented for carbon capture and further sequestrating it. Additionally the scope of carbon capture in Indian industries, the governing policy framework and the limitations.
