The editors critically examine the status of agroecological footprints and how it can be maintained within sustainable limits. Drawing upon research and examples from around the world, the book is offering an up-to-date account, and insight into how agroecology can be implemented as a solution in the form of eco-friendly practices that would boost up the production, curbs the environmental impacts, improves the bio-capacity, and reduces the agroecological footprints.It further discusses the changing status of the agroecological footprints and the growth of other footprint tools and types, such as land, water, carbon, nitrogen, etc. This book will be of interest to teachers, researchers, government planners, climate change scientists, capacity builders, and policymakers.

Young medical students have to confront significant amount of stress throughout their career which affects their physical as well as mental health. Rate of depression & suicides have been found to be higher in medical students than in other graduate students. How a student handle a stressful situation depends on his or her personality. Type D personality is based on the two stable personality traits of negative affect & social inhibition. Persons with Type D personality are at increased risk for developing depression and other psychiatric disorders. A total of 295 medical students (226 male & 69 female) are included in this study to determine prevalence of depression & type D personality among medical students of Midnapore Medical College, West Bengal to find out whether they have any significant association or not. Moreover, Perceived Stress Score Index (PSSI) among study population was carried out to compare it among students with and without depression.
