Manufacture of organic compost using technology
Year: 2024
Type: article
Abstract: The world faces the dual challenges of developing productive crops and managing waste, which contributes to greenhouse gas emissions and climate change. This project addresses these issues by accelerating organic waste decomposition through an in-vessel composting process, producing high-quality organic compost that enriches soil and agricultural land. The project utilizes an integrated Arduino system, comprising sensors, devices, and code, to control temperature, moisture, and ventilation. By doing so, it reduces decomposition duration by over 50% compared to traditional methods. This innovative approach offers a cheaper, healthier, and more environmentally friendly alternative to traditional fertilizers, benefiting farmers, the Egyptian economy, and the environment.
