Precision Input Management for Minimizing and Recycling of Agricultural Waste

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Input Use Efficiency for Food and Environmental Security

Abstract

Agricultural production system, being one of the most important and dynamic sectors, significantly alleviate climate change, which directly or indirectly results in emissions of greenhouse gases (GHG’s). Several strategies and technological interventions have been made that have resulted in reducing greenhouse gas emission, but it should not by any means reduce the farm revenue and productivity. Apart from this, the age-old traditional methods of cultivation have raised several concerns related to water drainage, fertilizer consumption, and waste disposal, etc. Optimizing agricultural waste and also enhancing food productivity simultaneously to feed the ever-increasing world population is an urgent need of the hour. In these aspects, smart agriculture which often incorporates technologies for improving farming operations, improving water management, fertilizer applications and finally crop production by means of sensor-based equipment’s have proved to be fruitful. Under the agricultural production system, it is a well-known fact that a significant amount of wastage is created as trash and bagasse. These wastages present within the system itself can be a precious alternatives resource if suitable waste to loop mechanism is applied. For example, in cities and towns, several sensors-mounted trash-collecting vehicles are used to monitor total waste load and identifying the best alternative path for waste collection for efficient management. It is, however, a matter of fact that in most of the countries around the globe the smart agriculture has failed to integrate and incorporate waste management techniques altogether as a whole. Thus, the use of sensors, GPS, etc., can help in waste management by utilizing the loops through incorporation of cost-effective means of waste collection, transportation economic resource utilization techniques. Thus, under this context, the chapter aims to find the different alternatives and roles of effective waste to gold creation opportunities within a smart agricultural production system.
