India accounts for about 2.4 per cent of the world’s geographical area but supports about 17 per cent of the world’s human population and more than 15 per cent of its livestock.
In developing countries like India, land degradation has been hastened in recent times due to burgeoning population and the amplified exploitation of natural resources. Land degradation undermines livelihood opportunities - triggers poverty, migration and food insecurity.
Heavy metal pollution has led researchers to look for its containment in various ways. Of the several chemical and physical technologies available, phytoremediation, the use of plants to remediate environmental media, is being pursued as a new approach to low cost cleanup of contaminated soil.
