Sustainable Agricultural Waste Management presents a thorough and forward-looking examination of the multifaceted challenges and opportunities in managing agricultural waste sustainably. The volume guides readers through the ecological, technological, and socio-economic dimensions of agrowaste, from its impact on soil, air, and water to the latest advances in circular economy strategies, biochar, and nanotechnology-driven solutions.
Expertly curated chapters address the valorization of agrowaste into bioactive compounds, clean energy, and eco-friendly nanomaterials, while also evaluating economic viability, policy frameworks, and regulatory mechanisms. The book’s integrative approach bridges traditional practices with next-generation innovations, offering actionable insights for immediate application and inspiring future research.
This essential resource is designed for advanced students, researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and environmental advocates seeking to drive meaningful changes in agricultural systems worldwide.
