Composting: The way for a sustainable agriculture

Generally, on-farm composting resulted as a strategic technology for the sustainability of agricultural activities that can thus solve critical issues such as the disposal of crop residues and livestock wastes. From our results, obtained under different logistic and farming conditions, on-farm composting seems to be the most sustainable solution - from economic and environmental point of views - if compared to the ordinary agricultural waste disposal methods. In perspective, it is recommended the creation of wide farm networks for the optimization of all steps of the composting chain.
