Current Trends in Composting and Vermicomposting Technologies and Their Utilization

Dear Colleagues,

Composting and vermicomposting are sustainable waste management practices that utilize organic waste and resources from household, industrial, and agricultural streams. These technologies have gained significant attention over the past few years due to their role in reducing greenhouse gas emissions and improving soil health. This Special Issue aims to present the latest advancements in composting and vermicomposting technologies, their utilization in agriculture and horticulture, and their environmental benefits. We welcome original research articles and reviews that explore the optimization of composting and vermicomposting technologies, their use in soil health and fertility, and their role in reducing waste and promoting sustainable agriculture. We encourage scholars to contribute to the exchange of valuable insights and discoveries on sustainable waste management practices and their environmental impact.
