Bio-inoculants for Biodegradation and Bioconversion of Agrowaste: Status and Prospects

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Bioremediation of Environmental Pollutants

Abstract

The development of efficient, applied and cost-effective approaches for agro-waste biodegradation is important to explore them as bioresource. The advanced waste degradation technologies are farmer-friendly, easy to adopt and yield productive inputs for sustainable agricultural productivity alongside producing biogas. These technologies, based on the bio-inoculants for waste bioconversion have also been developed for the production of bio-ethanol, biofuel, and other products.
