Blending Organic Farming and Waste Management for Eco-Friendly Agricultural Development

Abstract: With tremendous increase in population across the globe, the amount of waste which is generated every day in very high by each individual. Some of the waste can be recycled and some cannot be done. Waste produced in a country falls into two main types organic waste and inorganic waste. Given the rapid growth of the global population, each person generates a large amount of waste daily. Modern farming faces serious difficulties with managing organic waste because traditional methods are often ineffective and unsustainable. To address these issues, this research proposes a new method for smart composting that merges IoT with gradient-boosting algorithms. The two critical components of sustainable agriculture that complement each other to achieve ecological balance, environmental preservation and the health of the people are organic farming and waste management. Organic farming is focused on application of natural inputs, crop rotation and composting as opposed to fertilizers and pesticides. In contrast, waste management is the process of systematically gathering, recycling and reusing of organic and farming garbage to ensure more soil fertility and less pollution. This paper provides an extensive survey on the inter-relation between practices of organic farming and waste management systems, where a combination of these methods can help in achieving sustainable agriculture and development in rural areas.
