Aproveitamento de resíduos de frutas para compostagem.

Abstract

The purpose of this booklet is to assist farmers in producing fertilizer by utilizing organic waste from fruit processing through a process known as composting. This booklet is the result of an extension project carried out in the Rural Community of Iracema in the municipality of Castanhal, Pará, based on initiatives that guide and inform rural producers about the importance and benefits of utilizing waste available on the farm, using composting as a technique for reusing organic fruit waste produced in agro-industrial processing facilities. Thus, one of the objectives of the project developed in the Iracema community was to contribute to good practices in the production and processing of agricultural and livestock products, taking into account aspects of sustainable development, food safety and sovereignty, agroecology, cleaner production, and waste management.
