Utilization of Agricultural Wastes for Sustainable Development

Utilization of Agricultural Wastes for Sustainable Development

Embracing the idea of recycling wastes or changing waste to energy and other materials is an indispensable choice for sustainable development, and it is also a principal waste management mechanism. This study principally focuses on the utilization of agricultural wastes for sustainable development in areas related to organic manure usage, bioenergy production from the agricultural residues, and manufacturing of biocomposites. This article also addresses the potential of agricultural wastes in particular regions and the extent of their utilization to come up with a broader understanding of their effectiveness and practicality.
