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 human beings in the Egyptian countryside exploit them optimally, but due to the lack of awareness among most individuals or lack of knowledge of the means through which these wastes or plant remains can be transformed into useful things. Small industries on these residues, such as growing and producing green fodder on these plant residues, as well as producing mushrooms and other small industries on these plant residues, which are produced in the summer and during the fall season in large quantities, such as cottonwood - rice straw - cornstarch, which are the main crops that the farmer grows. In the winter season, these remains are exploited in agricultural activities, such as wheat and barley hay, where the farmer uses them to feed animals as rough or dry fodder, while adding some grains or concentrated feed to these remains, so they do not become a problem for him, just as the farmer uses them in bedding on poultry farms, and thus they turn into Fertilizers are sought after by vegetable and fruit farmers and desert lands, in addition to the stalks 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 land 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 to produce the crop. Hence, the use of agricultural waste as fertilizer Organic and recycling 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
