Abstract: Agricultural waste management is a crucial aspect of sustainable farming practices, ensuring environmental protection and resource optimization. This study explores the awareness levels of farmers in Tirupur district regarding agricultural waste management, including methods such as composting, biogas production, residue recycling, and controlled disposal. A structured survey was conducted among farmers across different regions of Tirupur to assess their knowledge, attitudes, and challenges in implementing proper waste management techniques. The findings reveal varying degrees of awareness, with factors such as education, farm size, and access to resources influencing waste management practices. The study highlights the need for targeted awareness programs, government interventions, and policy measures to enhance sustainable waste management in agriculture. Encouraging eco-friendly practices among farmers can significantly reduce environmental pollution and improve soil health, contributing to long-term agricultural sustainability in the region.
