Agricultural Waste Management System
Keywords:
Agricultural Waste Management, Organic Waste, Sustainable, Solid WasteAbstract
The rapid growth of population, urbanization and industrialization have accelerated the generation of waste in economy. Agricultural waste is composed of organic wastes (animal excreta in the form of slurries and farmyard manures, spent mushroom compost) which includes natural waste, animal waste and plant waste. If wastes are not properly handled they can pollute surface and groundwater and contribute to air pollution. Waste management helps to maintain a healthy environment as India is one of the richest country in agricultural resources. The prime focus of this paper is to examine the concept of agriculture waste management and to provide various treatment for the agriculture waste generated. The findings of the paper shows that with the technology advancement, agriculture is no longer an environment issue but a resource for energy production. It is also pertinent to develop a sustainable and eco-friendly agricultural practices so that organic resources mainly in the form of crop residues, animal waste, and municipal solid waste are utilized.
