DISCUSSION
LO3: Treatment and Process of Farm Waste

Types of Treatment Process

1. Composting

Composting is a method in which organic matter present in agricultural waste is

decomposed by aerobically/ anaerobically through a biochemical process and converted into
humus.

Types of Composting

A. Decomposition

 Nadep System- uses a wide range of organic materials such as crop residues, weeds
and forest litter with an end product of a fertilizer

6
  Vermiculture Decomposition- is a process using species of worms to create a mixture
of decomposing vegetable or food waste, bedding materials, and vermicast.

 Anaerobically Decomposition- is a renewable energy technology, where materials are

placed in a container and are broken down by microorganism to create biogas.

B. Landfill - a place to dispose of refuse and other waste material by burying and covering it
with soil, especially as a method of filling or extending usable land.

2. Recycling

-Process to change waste into new product

-Prevent waste of potentially useful materials, reduce the consumption of fresh raw
materials, and reduce energy usage.

-Reduce air pollution from incineration and water pollution from land filling

-Key component of modern waste reduction and is the third component of the
“Reduce, Reuse and Recycle”.

Concerns about Agricultural Waste Management

 If not manage properly, agricultural waste can pollute the environment.

 The degradation of water quality can impact adjacent waterways and groundwater both
onsite and offsite.
 Nitrates can found in fertilizers and agricultural waste runoff can seep into groundwater.

8
 Benefits of Agricultural Waste Management

 The reuse of animal waste in farming operations can reduce the quantity and hauling
cost of commercial fertilizer.
 The contribution of animal waste increases the organic matter content of soils, which
increases nutrient availability for crops and improves the water holding capacity.
 Good waste management reduces the instances of well water contamination and
minimizes surface water pollution.

LO5: Perform Housekeeping

5s of Good Housekeeping

 It includes the principle of waste elimination through workplace organization.

 It is an organization method that uses a list of five Japanese words: seiri(sort), seiton
(systematize), seiso (shine), seiketsu (standardize) and shitsuke (sustain)
