Agricultural waste encompasses the byproducts generated in farming processes, including crop residues, animal manure, and unused agricultural inputs. While traditionally seen as a disposal challenge, modern sustainable practices aim to convert these wastes into valuable resources. Technologies like composting and anaerobic digestion transform organic residues into nutrient-rich fertilizers and biogas, contributing to soil health and renewable energy. Additionally, agricultural waste management reduces environmental impacts, mitigating soil degradation and water pollution. Innovative approaches, such as bioenergy production from crop residues, not only address waste issues but also foster energy sustainability. Embracing circular economy principles, farmers and industries are finding creative ways to repurpose agricultural waste, turning a once problematic aspect into a source of environmental and economic benefit.
