Organic farming and waste management
Organic farming
Waste management refers to the process of collecting, transporting, processing, recycling, and
disposing of waste materials. The goal of waste management is to reduce the amount of waste
produced, and to minimize its impact on the environment and public health.
Waste management
Organic farming is a type of agricultural production system that relies on natural inputs
and ecological processes rather than synthetic chemicals and pesticides.
Organic farming aims to produce food in a way that is environmentally sustainable, socially
responsible, and economically viable.
Organic Farming :
• Making organic fertilizer using leaves in a
box is a simple and effective way to recycle
organic material and create a nutrient-rich
soil amendment for gardening and
farming.
• To start, gather a box or container that is
at least 3 feet wide, 3 feet long, and 3
feet
deep.
• Collect dry leaves and other organic
materials such as grass clippings, vegetable
scraps, and shredded paper.
• Add a layer of leaves to the bottom of the
box, followed by a layer of organic
materials
• Repeate the process
Waste Management :
• Composting is a managed process which
utilizes microorganisms naturally present in
organic matter and soil to decompose
organic material.
• These microorganisms require basic
nutrients, oxygen, and water in order for
decomposition to occur at an accelerated
pace.
• The end-product, compost, is a dark brown,
humus-like material which can be easily and
safely handled, stored, and used as a
valuable soil conditioner.
• The composting process is depended upon
several factors, including, the population of
microorganisms, carbon to nitrogen ratio,
oxygen level, temperature, moisture,
surface area, pH, and time.
