2019/1/4/ · The integration of composting into solid waste management system at composting holds a great potential for sustainable waste management practice in Nigeria. Composting should be encouraged in the context of waste recycling of organic materials and understanding the importance of our soil food system, not simply to reduce waste.
2024/12/16/ · The increasing urbanization and population growth, along with changes in consumption patterns, have led to a considerable rise in daily waste production [1,2,3].Annually, about 2.1 billion tons of solid waste are generated worldwide, of which 33% are improperly
2021/7/15/ · It has always been challenging to model gas emissions from MMSs due to the variability in farming practices that affect the manure physio-chemical characteristics (Owen and Silver, 2015). Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) emission factors (Tier 1, 2, and 3) are widely used to predict gas emissions; however, in some studies (Lory et al., 2010; Owen
NOTE: This text has been updated to reflect changes in the proposed FSMA rules as of October 2014. Background Farmers use soil amendments such as manure and compost to improve soil fertility and soil quality, and to enhance populations of beneficial microorganisms in the soil. Sustainable and organic producers in particular rely on manure and []
Sustainability is a popular buzzword these days, but what does it really mean to be sustainable? That often depends on who you ask, particularly when it comes to the food animal industry. A livestock producer might think of maintaining economic viability in their farming operation, while their downwind neighbor may feel it is more about
2023/1/1/ · Many physical, chemical and biological processes have been developed to treat or minimize livestock manure. The most popular for the disposal of extensive manure waste are composting (i.e., converting organic wastes into biological fertilizers) [4], [25], [26], [27], anaerobic digestion (for bioenergy production) [28], thermochemical processes (for the
2019/12/18/ · As a sustainability advocate I've always assumed that composting toilets were "better" than septic systems in almost any application. However I've been reading up a bit on both system types (see Wikipedia links above) and now I'm wondering -- For a well-built and managed system, is a composting toilet always or usually more sustainable than a septic system?
2021/7/15/ · Thus, a chicken manure composting experiment as a model system of microbially mediated organic waste composting was conducted. Ecological null modeling and metabolic functional prediction combined with electrospray ionization (ESI) Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FT-ICR MS) were used to quantify assembly
2010/8/1/ · Worm or vermiculture is a useful technique for recycling kitchen and livestock wastes into a rich organic fertilizer, for producing high-protein feed for poultry and initiating a lucrative business selling worms and worm castings for the small farm. Worms are invaluable partners in building the soil in your garden, be it a kitchen or dooryard garden or a large market
2024/10/24/ · In this study, we identified key thermophilic bacteria capable of accelerating manure composting based on the deciphering of manure bacterial community evolution in a thermophilic system. High-throughput sequencing showed a significant evolution of manure bacterial community structure with the increasing heating temperature.
