This manual offers a concise overview of vermicomposting, the transformation of organic waste into high-value fertilizer through the action of earthworms and microorganisms. It outlines the key species used – such as Eisenia fetida, Eisenia andrei, and Eudrilus eugeniae – chosen for their rapid reproduction and efficient feeding, which make vermicompost production highly effective.

This manual provides a clear and practical overview of composting as a biochemical process that transforms organic residues into stable, nutrient-rich compost. By reintegrating waste into agricultural systems, composting helps close nutrient cycles and improve resource efficiency. Designed for broad applicability, the manual explains how composting can be adapted to a wide range of materials – from crop residues and manure to diverse agro-industrial wastes – making it a valuable guide for sustainable resource management.
