ORGANIC FARMING AND WASTE MANAGEMENT


 

ORGANIC FARMING AND WASTE MANAGEMENT

organic farming, agricultural system that uses ecologically based pest controls and biological fertilizers derived largely from animal and plant wastes and nitrogen-fixing cover crops. Modern organic farming was developed as a response to the environmental harm caused by the use of chemical pesticides and synthetic fertilizers in conventional agriculture, and it has numerous ecological benefits.

Our department conducted a guest talk on organic forming in our college and invited Dr.Harish M N as resource person. Harish sir thought us about organic forming, types of organic forming. 

Organic forming is an agriculture process that uses biological fertilizers and pest control acquired from animal or plant waste, we got knowledge organic forming and advantages and disadvantage of organic forming. Sir gave a idea to implement some projects that’s solves agricultural problems.





MUSHROOM CULTIVATION

Mushroom cultivation requires very low care and investment. There are three types of mushrooms in India which has market demands. Process of growing mushroom is different for each type.

The first step for growing mushrooms is composting which is done in the open. Compost yard for button mushroom cultivation is prepared on clean, raised platforms made of concrete. They must be raised so that the run-off water does not get accumulated at the heap. Although the composting is done in the open, they must be covered to protect from rain. Compost prepared is of two types, viz. natural and synthetic compost. The compost is prepared in trays of dimensions 100 X 50 X 15 cm.







 

        




WASTE MANAGEMENT 

We have visited a waste management sector in our college campus. Waste management has made significant contribution to the protection of environment. waste management sector has two parts one is wet waste management and the other is dry waste management which are managed separately by workers. all the dry waste collected and burned in one place by the workers and all the wet waste is collected and used for preparing a compost or biogas when managed in a right way.


Waste management or waste disposal includes the processes and actions required to manage waste from its inception to its final disposal.[1] This includes the collection, transport, treatment and disposal of waste, together with monitoring and regulation of the waste management process and waste-related laws, technologies, economic mechanisms.



                

The aim of waste management is to reduce the dangerous effects of such waste on the environment and human health. A big part of waste management deals with municipal solid waste, which is created by industrial, commercial, and household activity.

The freshwater available for use is unevenly distributed. Human activities are polluting the water sources threatening the survival of living beings. So, water conservation focuses on the concept of “save water and save a life”. The area where they designed wastewater treatment plant in Coorg institute of technology.
