Waste Composting for Urban and Peri-urban Agriculture: Closing the Rural-urban Nutrient Cycle in Sub-Saharan AfricaPay Drechsel, Dagmar Kunze CABI, 2001 - Broj stranica: 229 Rapid urbanization has created a major challenge with regard to waste management and environmental protection. However, the problem can be ameliorated by turning organic waste into compost for use as an agricultural fertilizer in peri-urban areas. This is especially significant in less developed countries, where food security is also a key issue. This book addresses these subjects and is based on papers presented at a workshop held in Ghana by the International Board for Soil Research and Management (IBSRAM, now part of the International Water Management Institute) and FAO. Special reference is given to Sub-Saharan Africa, with acknowledgement to experiences from other parts of the world. Contributing authors are from several European, as well as African, countries. |
