This organic waste, which also ends up in waste dumping sites, produces huge amounts of GHGs as well as promoting the growth of vector diseases that can harm the environment and also cause a threat to human health. This also aligns with UN SDGs 2, 3, and 13, as this helps in moving towards sustainable agriculture practices. A more healthy environment for humans and move towards a cleaner surroundings.
