Mar 21, 2023 · Therefore, it is possible to benefit from this agricultural waste and recycle its use in the compost industry, relying on organic agriculture, and expanding the production of organic fertilizers
Jan 1, 2024 · This review outlines innovative strategies for sustainable agro-waste management. It emphasizes the move away from the linear “take-make-dispose” model towards designing products, processes and systems that promote reuse, recycling and resource recovery ( Gómez-Brandón et al., 2013; Prasertsan et al., 2011 ).
Apr 12, 2024 · An ecologically integrated intelligence system to combine organic solid waste management, tailored functional compost, soil quality enhancement, climate change mitigation, and efficient grain production through precise control at various scales is needed.
Nov 25, 2020 · Composting: A Sustainable Route for Processing of Biodegradable Waste in India. November 2020. DOI: 10.1007/978-3-030-36283-6_3. License. CC BY 3.0. In book: Organic Waste Composting through Nexus
Feb 22, 2024 · Mulching protects the soil from erosion and temperature fluctuations, improving crop health and productivity. The most common and effective agricultural wastes for mulching include straw (wheat, rice, or barley), hay, crop residues (corn stalks, bean vines, or sugarcane tops), leaves, and grass clippings.
Feb 1, 2018 · The compost can be successfully applied to the soil, with amending and fertilizing function, to recover degraded soils or maintain/increase soil fertility sensu latu; to exert plant disease suppressiveness; to sequester carbon into the soil thus reducing global warming; to reduce production costs and negative impacts of agricultural activities by limiting inputs of fertilizers, pesticides, and
Mar 1, 2023 · This review examines the management of AWM through various composting processes—conventional and emerging composting—and composting stages, the composting of crop residue waste, MSW, and BMW, as well as the underlying mechanisms, and the factors influencing composting.
Nov 11, 2023 · The concept of recycling organic matter and waste nutrients back to agricultural land through the process of composting adheres to the basic principle of the circular economy. The studies on composting systems have laid a solid foundation for biodegradable solid waste management, and there are still significant gaps that require attention in future research. Addressing these gaps will lead to
Jul 3, 2020 · The role of the agricultural sector in human development and economic development cannot be overemphasized. Awareness for increased agricultural production is on the increase, arising from the need to feed the ever-increasing human population. Interestingly, almost all agricultural activities generate wastes, which are generated in large quantities in many countries. However, these wastes may
Nov 22, 2023 · The increase from 2017 to 2018 is mainly the result of EPA's inclusion of additional wasted food management pathways. Over time, recycling and composting rates have increased from just over 6 percent of MSW generated in 1960 to about 10 percent in 1980, to 16 percent in 1990, to about 29 percent in 2000, and to about 35 percent in 2017.
Dec 15, 2023 · Composting is the controlled, aerobic (oxygen-required) biological decomposition of organic materials by microorganisms. Organic (carbon-based) materials include grass clippings, leaves, yard and tree trimmings, food scraps, crop residues, animal manure and biosolids. Compost is a dark, crumbly, earthy-smelling, biologically-stable soil
Global food waste (FW) is predicted to increase by 44% from 2005 to 2025 (Higuera-Ciapara et al., 2020).According to the FAO report, global food waste amounts to 1.03 billion tons annually, accounting for about 17% of global food production (Li et al., 2023).
Jul 15, 2023 · Moreover, the addition of compost products to agricultural soils also has the advantage of enhancing soil enzyme activity and fertilizer utilization, resulting in increased water and nutrient use efficiency in plants (Oyetunji et al., 2022; Liu et al., 2023b). This, in turn, can lead to a reduction in the use of chemical fertilizers and an
