Description

Rapid urbanization has created a major challenge with regard to waste management and environmental protection.

However, the problem can be ameliorated by turning organic waste into compost for use as an agricultural fertilizer in peri-urban areas.

This is especially significant in less developed countries, where food security is also a key issue.

This book addresses these subjects and is based on papers presented at a workshop held in Ghana by the International Board for Soil Research and Management (IBSRAM, now part of the International Water Management Institute) and FAO.

Special reference is given to Sub-Saharan Africa, with acknowledgement to experiences from other parts of the world.

Contributing authors are from several European, as well as African, countries.
