This study provides a comprehensive analysis of the regulatory framework governing food adulteration, evaluating its effectiveness in addressing contemporary issues within the spice industry. The recent MDH and Everest controversies are examined as critical case studies to illustrate systemic gaps in enforcement and compliance. Additionally,<br>the research investigates the broader socio-economic implications of adulterated spices, including public health risks, consumer distrust, and market distortions. Finally, the paper explores current and emerging methods for detecting spice adulteration, highlighting the need for robust surveillance and technological innovation. Collectively, the study underscores the urgency of strengthening regulatory mechanisms to mitigate the growing threat of spice adulteration in India.</p> Nidhi Dahiya Jiya Khatri Anshulika Singh Copyright (c) 2026 Journal of Advanced Research in Quality Control & Management https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0 2026-02-07 2026-02-07 11 1 1 10 https://www.adrjournalshouse.com/index.php/Journal-QualityControl-Mgt/article/view/2526 <p>Livestock entrepreneurship in Kerala faces challenges including outdated practices, limited technology adoption, and climate-related threats. This study examines the roles of Agriculture 4.0 and 5.0 in enhancing productivity, sustainability, and food security. Using surveys, case studies, and stakeholder interviews, it identifies key barriers, including high costs, a lack of expertise, and infrastructure gaps. Findings suggest that precision farming, AI, and IoT can revolutionise the sector; however, they require policy support, financial incentives, and adequate training. A conceptual framework for integrating these technologies is proposed to boost rural livelihoods and align with SDGs.</p> Rajitha. N. K Sanesh.
