Recycling Organic Materials On Agricultural Lands

The recycling of rural and urban organic waste materials onto agricultural land provides a challenge to the producers and end-users who both have a 'duty-of-care' to ensure the method of disposal is managed in a sustainable way. Careful management means that soil and water resources are not contaminated, the agricultural production system remains stable, and land use alternatives remain available to future generations. In many industries the volume of organic waste being generated is increasing at such a rate that more efficient and more environmentally acceptable methods of disposal are required, which in turn often necessitates finding new markets for the products.
