Organic Farming and Waste Management

  Organic Farming and Waste Management Organic farming, also known as ecological farming or biological farming, is an agricultural system that uses fertilizers of organic origin such as compost manure, green manure, and bone meal and places emphasis on techniques such as crop rotation and companion planting. The benefit for the environment is huge, and this could be done in a cost effective way. For example, organic waste could be turned into compost to grow crops, reducing dependency on chemical fertilizers, or clean organic waste could be used to feed animals.

Recycling food and other organic waste into compost provides a range of environmental benefits, including improving soil health, reducing greenhous...
