Wealth from Agricultural Waste of Rice and Sugarcane Residues for Environmental Sustainability: A Review

Abstract

This review paper discusses significant problem of agricultural waste management, especially the by-products produces through farming systems such as rice and sugarcane cultivation. This is because both these crops find a place among the most produced globally, thereby causing a significant proportion of agricultural waste which leads to environmental issues like pollution and exhaustion of resources. This paper reviewed the types and amount of wastes generated from rice and sugarcane processing (Straw, husks, bagasse and leaves). In this we assess the consequences of these wastes to the environment and delve into select management strategies that can be used to reduce their significance. Attention is given to innovative methods that encourage the recycling and reuse of these by-products. One potential approach is to utilize composting, bioconversion for biofuels. In addition, the paper presents best practice in successful case studies and ways that farmers can deploy these strategies to improve economic viability while supporting environmental sustainability.
