Answer 1

Answer: Yes, Sericulture is an eco-friendly activity. The following explanation will give you more idea as to how it is eco-friendly:

- Due to its good foliage and good root-spread it helps in the conservation of soil and thus provides a green environment.

- Waste from silkworm rearing can be used in our garden.

- It reduces the pressure on vegetation and forest as its dried twigs are used as a fuel.

- The use of smoke-emitting machinery is minimal as it is more of a labour intensive work and agro-based activity.

- The plantation of mulberry is mainly done in the upland areas and thus the un-used cultivable land is used.

- Along with Mulberry cultivation various other crops can also be planted.
