A major 3-year project, which started in October 2001 on the use of green composted waste in agriculture.

The composted waste would be used as topsoil.

They expect to save a million gallons of water a year and recycle the composted waste of 500,000 yearly visitors as fertilizer.

They used suitable composted waste and soil to create artificial soil for spreading on otherwise barren waste slopes.

The simpler forms are unicellular; the higher forms have branched filaments and complicated life cycles. Some are pathogens; others stabilize sewage and digest composted waste.

The organiponico uses raised beds filled with about 50% high-quality organic material (such as manure), 25% composted waste such as rice husks and coffee bean shells, and 25% soil.

The assembly government is consulting on setting a target for Welsh homes to produce no more than 330 kg of residual waste - non recycled and non composted waste - by 2024.

But, to maximize productive use of organic, composted waste, it is important that waste-treatment centres be close to the areas where UA is going on, as the projects in Ghana and Brazil demonstrate.

Also, that if offsite markets for composted waste could not be developed the compost could be used effectively onsite with little likelihood of the water quality in nearby branches of the Murray River being affected.

Generally only waste from vegans is used because of the expert recommendation that the risks associated with using composted waste are acceptable only if the waste is from animals or humans having a largely herbivorous diet.

This pattern was true for plants and animals, including humans because, prior to urbanization, faeces from livestock and humans along with other composted waste was returned to the soil, thereby closing nutrient recycling loops and maintaining the fertility of the soil.
