Monitoring a report issued by the Ministry of Environment under the title of the proposed main axes for cluster management Vitality in Egypt: The volume of agricultural waste in Egypt and the lack of a clear strategy to get rid of it, and the open burning of this waste is the most important reason for the appearance of the black cloud.

The report confirmed that the amount of agricultural waste in Egypt is about 35 million tons, including plant and animal waste, of which about 7 million are used. One ton of feed and 4 million tons of organic fertilizer, leaving behind 12 million tons of plant waste that is not utilized. The report indicated that due to the lack of a clear vision and strategy for dealing with agricultural waste, both plant and animal, there is This led to the disposal of these wastes through open burning, which leads to many health problems, especially for children, the elderly, and pregnant women, especially diseases related to the respiratory system, ophthalmia, and skin diseases.

By collecting and dumping it on drains and canals, which increased the load of pollution in the air and waterways. The report explained that getting rid of cane, cornstarch, and cottonwood Burning reeds and other things causes environmental pollution and the appearance of a black cloud. Leaving it unburned clogs waterways and exposes society to fires because it is stored in rural homes, indicating that due to political interest With this phenomenon, the government agreed to develop a national program within the investment plan of the Ministry of Environment to deal with agricultural waste.

Ibnob Center relies on agriculture as its main craft. income, especially for smallholders and daily labor as their only source of income, and with the fragmentation of holdings, the income of small farmers weakened, especially with the high prices of agricultural services, such as land preparation, seeds, fertilizer, and harvesting operations, which made agricultural work unprofitable. And expensive for small farmers

Therefore, the project works to improve the income of small farmers by exploiting agricultural waste by chopping it and turning it into organic fertilizer, which provides fertilizer. Good organic compost for farmers. It also solves the problem of environmental pollution and reduces the accumulation and burning of waste.

Agricultural waste, after being chopped, can be converted into animal feed or organic fertilizer using a specific technology, which limits the formation of black clouds as a result of burning agricultural waste, which leads to Global warming, which has the largest role in climate change.

The direct target group of the project :

300 small farmers and tenants of less than three acres, men and women, on farms in the city of Abnoub, have the ability to participate in the project for their needs to increase their income through... Converting agricultural waste into organic fertilizer

The project's indirect target group :

450 sons, wives and relatives of farmers have been raised to raise their awareness of the dangers of burning agricultural waste and its impact on the environment and health and to increase their income through recycling agricultural waste and providing agricultural crops. Higher quality than crops that rely on chemical fertilizers
