Organic compost production involves the decomposition of organic materials into nutrient-rich compost that improves soil fertility and structure. This process can be achieved by composting plant residues, food scraps, animal manure, and other biodegradable materials. The composting process occurs through aerobic or anaerobic conditions, where microorganisms break down the organic matter into humus. Organic compost provides an environmentally friendly alternative to chemical fertilizers, as it promotes soil microbial activity and water retention, improves soil aeration, and reduces reliance on synthetic chemicals. Farmers and gardeners who adopt organic composting techniques can improve plant health, increase yields, and support sustainable agricultural practices while minimizing their ecological footprint.
