Nitrogen, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 6(2), P. 24 - 24

Published: April 5, 2025

This study explores the economic benefits and challenges associated with biodegradable waste composting, highlighting its role in promoting sustainability through a circular economy framework. We reviewed relevant literature found 160 articles for this study, including keywords “Biodegradable waste”, “Compost production”, “Economic Potential”. Considering quality studies, we employed PRISMA technique to conduct comprehensive data synthesis evaluate 89 final review. Our findings highlight that composting offers significant advantages, reduction, cost savings management, carbon credit, source of nitrogen, job creation, reduced reliance on synthetic fertilizers. Further, it supports environmental by improving soil health, mitigating greenhouse gas emissions, reducing landfill use. However, such as high upfront costs, control, market competition chemical fertilizers remain barriers widespread adoption. The extends emphasizing integration into can foster innovation, enhance local economies, contribute climate change mitigation. Furthermore, promising pathway advancing sustainability. Future research should focus technologies, optimizing their applications, developing stronger policy frameworks ensure successful implementation practices.

Based on publications and analyses of factual material in databases (GUS, RER, FADN), the article presents major changes agriculture rural areas Poland following accession to European Union (EU). Accession provided significant impulses accelerate transformation Polish agriculture. These include supply agricultural production resources, increased demand for products, transfers resulting from mechanisms Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), labour, rising aspirations farmers driven by cultural higher education levels. At same time, EU contributed implementation sustainable development paradigm – particularly through targeted or conditional financial transfers. The results this area are economic sphere, while they remain modest ambiguous environmental social spheres. Agriculture 21st century must transform toward sustainability, as industrial has reached a stage where benefits increasing outweighed drawbacks. This requires replacing chemical inputs with organic matter, pointing way agrobiotechnology integrated technologies.

Inadequate cultivation practices of carrots often result in lower yields. Proper soil fertilization combined with a good choice variety can contribute to both qualitative and quantitative optimization carrot production. Although several works have been carried out on carrots, there is still lack information regarding the influence types doses fertilizers applied field by farmers Cameroon yield post-harvest shelf-life most frequently grown varieties. This study aimed determine interactions between attributes conservation carrots. Nine treatments involving individual applications chemical fertilizer (NPK: 20-10-10) chicken manure were tested five varieties (New Kuroda, Pamela+, Madona, Amazonia, Vanessa F1) split-split plot design three replications. Yield variables measured after 110 days experimentation, followed measurement for thirty days. The best was obtained 10 t ha−1 manure.
