Sustainability is defined as the ability to fulfill the requirements of the current generation without jeopardizing future generations’ ability to meet their own needs. It is a multifaceted concept that encompasses economic, social, and environmental factors. In recent years, there has been an increased emphasis on the environment as a critical component of sustainability. This is because the environment provides the natural resources that are essential for economic and social development.
Zero waste management means the holistic concept of waste management which recognizes waste as a resource produced during the interim phase of the process of resource consumption. The concept of Zero Waste centres around the 5Rs : Refuse, reduce, reuse, repurpose and recycle, which, when applied to agriculture, foster a sustainable and efficient farming system that minimizes waste and promotes environmental health.
