Aerobic Sponge Method Vermitechnology for Macro-Level Conversion of Organic Garbage
Journal Title: Universal Journal of Environmental Research and Technology - Year 2011, Vol 1, Issue 4
Abstract
Earthworms in the second decade of 21st century are the most significant figure in the realm of biodegradation of agricultural wastes, agro-industrial wastes, urban organic garbage and sewage sludge. The degraded product as their excreta find resolvable route to sustainable agriculture, a most relevant solution for the developeddeveloping country like India to enhance sustainability of soil organic matter for balance of physical-chemicalbiological properties. Earthworms virtually stand alone as a symbol of “clean technology” in the field of organic waste transformations and also stand alone as a symbol of “sustainable organic agriculture technology”. Although several protocols and techniques have been shown and implemented in India we still lack a suitable, modifiable and appropriate feasible technology for organic garbage into vermicompost at the levels of ward, community and corporate/municipality, which is the need of the hour. India being an agrarian country needs valuable, processed organic inputs to sustain its soils. Indian wet garbage accounting for average 60% of the country’s total organic garbage generated, must be considered as resourceful by-product for human endeavor, to make it a ready source for vermicomposting and finding a return route to productive soils. Business partnership considering organic garbage as “organic wealth”, for innovation and entrepreneurship, research, education and technology development, all within a framework of a partnership between city Corporations, private research and development units and Universities as sustainable workable models for all seasons need to be implemented in India, independent of Govt. agencies for fruitful ventures. Currently handling of garbage by the Corporations and Municipalities need a thorough brush –up which is operating on the grounds of political scenario rather than on the grounds of techno-commercial ventures. This paper calls for the attention of theoretical scientists to look for macro-level practicalities and also challenges its current, innovative Aerobic Sponge Method Vermitechnology (ASMV), its implementations anywhere with authenticity in terms of feasibility and sustainability on the grounds of working modalities along with sustainable returns through “organic garbage filth to organic cabbage growth” motto.
