Agricultural waste in the center of Zagazig constitutes a stand-alone environmental problem because it leads to environmental pollution, if it is not recycled and utilized instead of being thrown away randomly, as is happening here now, where waste is thrown on sides and edges. Main and secondary roads, as well as in agricultural lands, and the remains or plant remains represent a great and great wealth if a person in the Egyptian countryside exploits them optimally, but due to the lack of awareness among most individuals or lack of knowledge By means by which these wastes or plant remains can be converted into useful things, small industries can be used on these leftovers, such as growing and producing green fodder on these plant remains, as well as producing mushrooms and other small industries on these plant remains, which occur in the summer and during the fall season in large quantities, such as Cottonwood - rice straw - cornstarch are the main crops grown by the farmer. However, in the winter season, these remains are exploited in agricultural activities, such as wheat and barley straw, where the farmer exploits them in Feeding animals as coarse or dry fodder, with the addition of some grains or concentrated feed to these remains, so they do not become a problem for them, as the farmer exploits them in bedding in poultry farms, and thus they turn into fertilizers that farmers of vegetables, fruits, and desert lands flock to. This is in addition to the arbors and remains of vegetable plants such as tomatoes, cowpeas, and peas. . Etc. Which humans dispose of by drying or feeding them directly to animals. Agricultural waste is defined as everything produced on the sidelines of agricultural production, harvesting, packaging and marketing.

The project works on the integrated utilization of agricultural waste (with three adjacent local units within the geographical borders of the center of Zagazig), which are (Bani Amer / Al-Shoubak Basta / Al-Aslouji) by recycling it and taking advantage of it by turning it into organic fertilizer, which is used to raise the percentage of organic matter in the land and increase the biological activity of the soil because it is a source of food in some of its elements, so it increases microbial activity and thus increases Soil fertility and reduces the use of chemical fertilizers. Therefore, it has a significant environmental impact and also an economic impact, represented in reducing the cost used in producing the crop and reducing pollution, because mineral fertilizers, no matter how high their purity, contain heavy toxic elements that lead to environmental pollution. They also address various environmental problems such as desertification problems. Increasing organic matter increases It granulates the soil and thus makes it cohesive and resistant to various erosion factors. Also, increasing the percentage of organic matter in the ground saves huge amounts of irrigation water by improving the water properties of the soil, increases the efficiency of the plant’s consumption of water, and reduces the amount of water used for production. Hence, the use of agricultural waste as organic fertilizer and recycling of this waste has environmental and economic benefits and also addresses issues related to national security “Water

The project is related to recycling agricultural waste and converting it into organic fertilizer, with the goals of the Global Environment Facility, the Small Grants Programme. The project represents a model among the projects concerned with the persistent organic pollutants program and reducing environmental pollution rates and falls within the main areas of the program (climate change, biodiversity, persistent organic pollutants, and land degradation) and is being implemented in the Zagazig Center, Sharqia Governorate, one of the governorates that were chosen to implement the projects. The project is consistent with the national strategy and regional (local) strategies of Sharkia Governorate
