Environment And Sustainable Development
Why have farmers in large numbers all over the country again started using compost made of organic wastes of different types?
Due to neglecting the use of compost and completely switching over to chemical fertilizers, large tracts of productive land have been adversely affected. Water bodies including ground water system have suffered due to chemical contamination and the demand for irrigation has been going up. Moreover earthworms can convert organic matter into compost faster than the normal process. So the farmers in large number all over the country have again started using compost made from organic wastes of different types.
