waste-to-resource

7 articles

Waste-to-resource research explores how agricultural and biological byproducts can be converted into valuable inputs such as nutrients, bioenergy, or soil amendments. In plant science, this approach is significant because it investigates how waste streams—from crop residues to processing effluents—can be recycled to support plant growth, improve soil health, and reduce dependence on synthetic fertilizers. This circular approach helps make agricultural systems more sustainable by closing nutrient loops and minimizing environmental waste.
