The management of solid waste presents a challenge for developing countries as thegeneration of waste is increasing at a rapid and alarming rate. Much awareness towards thesustainability and technological advances for solid waste management has been implemented toreduce the generation of unnecessary waste. The recycling of this waste is being applied to producevaluable organic matter, which can be used as fertilizers or amendments to improve the soil structure.This review studies the sustainable transformation of various types of biomass waste such as animalmanure, sewage sludge, municipal solid waste, and food waste, into organic fertilizers and theirimpact on waste minimization and agricultural enhancement. The side effects of these organicfertilizers towards the soil are evaluated as the characteristics of these fertilizers will differ dependingon the types of waste used, in addition to the varying chemical composition of the organic fertilizers.This work will provide an insight to the potential management of biomass waste to be produced intoorganic fertilizer and the advantages of substituting chemical fertilizer with organic fertilizer derivedfrom the biomass waste.

Penurunan kualitas dan produktivitas sumberdaya lahan pertanian terutama disebabkan oleh kandungan C-organik yang rendah dan pemupukan yang tidak diimbangi dengan pupuk organik. Cara mengatasinya adalah mengembalikan bahan organik ke lahan pertanian melalui penggunaan pupuk kompos atau pupuk organik granul (POG) berbahan baku kompos. Pupuk kompos sebaiknya dibuat dari seluruh potensi bahan organik yang ada. Timbulan sampah kota yang besar dengan prosentase bahan organik yang tinggi, memiliki karakteristik yang cocok untuk dijadikan pupuk kompos berkualitas baik, dalam rangka memenuhi kebutuhan pupuk organik. Pupuk komposmemiliki kemampuan untuk memperbaiki dan meningkatkan sifat fisik, biologi dan kimia tanah. Keberhasilan program penggunaan pupuk kompos atau pupuk organic yang lain sangat bergantung kepada dukungan stakeholders terkait, serta kepercayaan petani untuk menggunakan pupuk organik. Dengan ketersedian pupuk organik yang berkualitas, yang diberikan secara berimbang bersama pupuk kimia, maka kualitas dan produksivitas sumberdaya lahan pertanian dapat ditingkatkan sehingga dapat mendukung dan memperkuat kemandirian pangan. Kata Kunci: Sumberdaya lahan pertanian, pupuk organik, sampah kota, kompos, kemandirian pangan. AbstractThe quality and productivity degrade of agricultural land resources mainly due to the low level of C-organic content and the fertilizing that do not use organic fertilizers. The way to solve it is by restoring the organic matter to agricultural land through the use of compost or organic fertilizer granules made from compost. Compost should be made from all organic materials that have potential. The high level of municipal solid waste generation with a high percentage of organic matter, contain the characteristics that are suitable to made a good quality compost, in order to meet the needs of organic fertilizer. Compost has the ability to improve and enhance the physical, biological and chemical soil properties. The successful of compost or other organic fertilizer utilization program is mainly depend on the stakeholders support, as well as the confidence of farmers to use organic fertilizer. With the availability of good quality of organic fertilizer, which is given in a balanced way with chemical fertilizers, the quality and productivity of agricultural land resources can be improved to support and strengthen the food self-sufficiency.Key words: Agricultural land resource, organic fertilizer, municipal solid waste, compost, food self sufficiency.

Solid waste management is one of the developmental challenges facing city authorities worldwide, especially in most developing countries. Rapid urbanization has made solid waste management a serious problem in poor and developing countries. This study aims to analyze the determinants of willingness to pay for improved solid waste management system. For this purpose, two hundred and seventeen Households were selected in Lekhnath, Kaski, Nepal. Pre-structured questionnaire was used to collect the data. Data was collected by using systematic random sampling techniques. Multiple Linear Regression analysis was used to find the determinants of willingness to pay for improved solid waste management system. The tentative average wastes produced per day from their house is one kilogram with minimum one hundred gram and maximum ten kilogram per day. Main disposal method/site for solid waste management of majority of the respondents is Burn followed by cannal, near open places, send in waste management vehicle, road side and rivulets. Almost all of the respondents are not satisfied with the community responsible for solid waste management in the study area. The average amount that the respondents have willingness to pay for solid waste management system is Rs 56.84 per month. Further, it is found that Having any member abroad, Remittance received in last one year and House ownership are the major determining factors for willingness to pay for improved solid waste management system in the study area. However, other factors like Sex of the respondents, age of the respondents, family size, Family type, Caste/ethnicity, education of the respondents, Total number of employed person at home, Total number of literate person at home, Major occupation of the respondents, tentative weight of accumulated solid waste per day, Monthly Income of household, Visit at any hotel/restaurant during last 12 months, and Having any livestock at household do not have any significant impact on willingness to pay for improved solid waste management system. Janapriya Journal of Interdisciplinary Studies, Vol. 6 (December 2017)

Waste generation nowadays is rising in the world and it seems hard to prevent it. Solid Waste Management (SWM) has been a major problem worldwide in most of the fast growing towns and cities among the developing countries all around the world. Food waste and green waste constitute high volumes of municipal solid waste (MSW). The application of compost in the agricultural sector can contribute to sustainable soil health and other co-benefits. The compost produced from biological waste does not contain any chemicals unfavorable to living soil. The objective of this research was to calculate the greenhouse gas emission from the compost processed from the food and green wastes generated on-campus in Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM) as a pilot project. The result indicated that the composting process promotes the university as a green campus by converting organic wastes into valuable products such as organic fertilizer.

The focus on sustainability is at its peak in the construction industries in the last couple of decades. That includes green constructions such as rammed earth construction. Due to media exposure and carbon emission, people are undeniably turning to green and sustainable buildings. Furthermore, there is an improper management pattern of solid waste management found in developing countries, such as open burning and dumping of solid wastes. In which paper waste is not handled in a good way. There arefew places in developing countries where developing countries follow proper management of solid waste. Paper waste is present in each city because people are using it for daily life. Paper waste has fibre in them and has cellulose content. These components of paper waste are suitable for compressive strength. It has a side effect that it increases water absorbability. The reason for this research work is to reduce paper waste and reduce cement content. This paper also aims to find the durability and strength properties of rammed earth construction.
