what are the benefits of the urban organic waste recycling in developing nations and what are the challenges it faces? How can we improves the system and get more benefits from organic waste recycling?
There are various reasons for improving the recycling of municipal and industrial organic waste. These include:
- Benefits to crop production due to the recycling of organic matter and mineral nutrients, and possible suppression of soil-borne pathogens.
- Conservation of naturally available but limited supplies of nutrient resources.

-Alternative sources of energy.
The main challenge is to find a suitable method for recycling. Pyrolysis and and Bio-gas technology are some popular methods to produce energy from waste.
