Abstract: The goal of the study is to examine and assess the influence of various water sources, energy inputs, and their effect on carbon emissions. The approach included site visits to the textile production mill and discussions with them both the production and commercial procurement teams to collect last three calendar year data. The findings and conclusions of this analysis show that Textile manufacturing contributes to a considerable amount of carbon emissions, approximately 3.1kgCO2e/kg of Acrylic fabric. Purchasing electricity as an energy source generates the highest carbon emissions 3.03kgCO2e/kg of Acrylic fabric, In contrast, the use of LPG fuel and Diesel fuel resulted in notably lower CO2 emissions. Additionally, this study assessed the emissions in scope 1 and scope 2 categories during the textile processing stage, which contributed to 136535kgCO2e. Personalization in the application of sizing chemicals using industry 4.0 techniques such as warping, sizing and weaving can further minimize the consumption of resources, water, and energy. Prioritizing the design of waterless processes should be central to energy optimization efforts. Energy usage which is directly related to amount of water needed for the slashing process. Sizing processors are somewhat reluctant to adopt these changes due to the added production costs. Coordinated efforts from all stakeholders in textile value chain are essential to address the sustainability challenges in textile manufacturing. This case study focuses on five out of the seventeen sustainable development goals (SDGs).6-Clean water and sanitation, 7-Affordable and clean energy, 12-Responsible production and consumption, 13-Climate action, and 15-Life on land.

Abstract: The study took place at onstation of Yabello Pastoral and Dryland Agriculture Research Center at long rainy-season Onset.. Its goal was to see how different cassava varieties adapt and to measure their above- and below-ground biomass yields. Four cassava varieties stem cut at 25-30 cm were collected as evaluated adaptation trials. These varieties are Chichu, Hawassa 4, Qulle and Kello varieties were taken from Sidama region of southern Ethiopia. The stems were planted at 1 m spacing, between plants and rows by using a RCBD. Each row had five plants and totaly twenty stems were planted per plot. Collected data were analyzed by SAS software, and used LSD to compare means at a significance level of p≤0.05. Of evaluated cassava trials chichu variety had the lagest leaves and tuber drymatter yields by 39 kg/ha and 0.323 t/ha respectively and and followed by Qulle and Hawassa 4 varieties. In terms of foilage canopy diameters, tubers lengths and vertical growth (height) measurements, chichu variety had the largest values than evaluated cassava varieties while Hawassa 4 was the lowest.. Therefore, chichu variety was selected in pramarly and followed by Qulle and Hawassa varieties as options for demonestion at pastoral and agropastoral of Borana rangeland areas for both human consumtion and animal forage purposes.
