A Review On The Role Of Sericulture Activities For Sustainable Development
Main Article Content
Abstract
Since ancient times, sericulture—the raising of silk worms—has been a cottage industry in practically every region of the globe. There are five types of silk worms that are used for commercial purposes worldwide, and they are customarily raised in various locations. The only nation that still uses traditional methods for raising all five species of silk worms is India. The women in the community have historically engaged in this household activity, which gives them some extra money to supplement their family's income and give them a sense of financial independence. Economic development, which reduces poverty, particularly in rural regions, is essential for social development. Additionally, sericulture is a sustainable business since its by-products are used as a source of protein energy or as manure for the plantations. This makes sericulture a green cottage company.
