Agricultural waste in the Zagazig Center is a stand -alone environmental problem because it leads to environmental pollution, if it is not recycled and benefited instead of throwing randomly, as it happens at us now where the waste is thrown on aspects and edges of the main and branch roads, as well as in agricultural land If a person exploited it in the Egyptian countryside, the optimal exploitation, but due to the lack of awareness in most individuals or the lack of knowledge of the means through which these waste or vegetable residue can be converted into beneficial things small industries on these remains such as the cultivation and production of green feed on these plant remains and also the production of mushrooms and other small industries on these plant residue that are in the summer and during the fall season in large quantities such as cotton firewood - straw Rice - corn firewood, which is the main crops that the farmer cultivates. As for the winter season, these remains are used in agricultural activities such as wheat straw and barley, where the farmer exploits them to feed animals as rough or dry feed with the addition of some grains or feed concentrated for these residue, so it is not a problem as the farmer exploits them in brushes in poultry farms and thus turns into fertilizers that are rushed on farmers and fruits. This desert is in addition to the thrones and remains of vegetable plants, such as tomatoes, cocons, and peas. Etc. Which a person gets rid of by drying or feeding animals directly and is defined as agricultural waste as everything that is produced on the sidelines of agricultural production, harvesting, packaging and marketing
The project works to take an integrated benefit from agricultural waste (with three local units adjacent to the geographical borders of the Zagazig Center) which is (Bani Amer / Al-Shobak Basta / Al-Alawji) by recycling and benefiting from it by converting it into an organic fertilizer used In raising the percentage of organic matter on the ground and increasing the vital activity of the soil because it is a source of food in some of its elements, it increases the microbial activity, and thus the fertility of the soil increases and reduces the use of chemical fertilizers. Therefore, it has a large environmental return and also an economic return represented in reducing the cost used in the production of the crop and reducing pollution because mineral fertilizers, whatever the degree of high purity, contains heavy toxic elements that lead to environmental pollution as it addresses various environmental problems such as desertification problems, increasing the organic matter increases soil love and thus makes them cohesive resistant to different erosion factors. Huge quantities of irrigation water through the improvement of the water properties of the soil and increase the efficiency of plants for water and reduce the amount of water used to produce the crop, and from here the use of agricultural waste as organic fertilizer and recycling these waste has environmental and economic benefits. It also addresses issues related to national security "water
The project is linked to the recycling of agricultural waste and converting it into an organic fertilizer with the goals of the global environment facility small grant program. Where the project represents a model within the projects that are concerned with the fixed organic pollutants program and the reduction of environmental pollution rates and is within the main areas of the program (climate change, biological diversity, fixed organic pollutants and land deterioration) and is implemented at the Zagazig Center, the Eastern Vallement of the Eastern Province, which was chosen to implement projects. The project is consistent with the national strategy and regional (local) strategies for Sharkia Governorate
