Transforming Agriculture Residues for Sustainable Development: From Waste to Wealth

農業殘留物是現代農業的一種重要廢棄物。這些殘留物主要包括作物殘渣、工業加工廢料、畜禽廢料以及水果和蔬菜廢料，通常被遺棄以分解，導致環境退化和健康風險。然而，隨著對可持續農業實踐的需求增加，有必要尋找創新的方法來利用這些殘留物。《從廢棄物到財富：將農業殘留物轉化為可持續發展》全面探索了農業廢棄物利用的潛力，展示了滿足將廢棄物轉化為有價值資源的挑戰的創新技術和應用。通過解決農業廢棄物轉化為財富範式的各個方面，這本寶貴的指南將對研究人員、政策制定者和業界專業人士在尋求農業殘留物管理和向更加循環經濟轉型的可持續解決方案方面提供幫助。
