The wise strategy has to be taken with multi layered technology solutions for the food and agricultural waste management in long term basis. Japanese latest food and agricultural waste technology and equipments are available but need to be transfer to the poor and developing countries at lowest cost. Similarly many developed countries must come forward to share their know how to the developing countries at minimum or without any cost for the best management of food and agricultural waste. It is time to think, act seriously without the border of the country because we have only and only one Blue Sky and Blue Earth, must keep continue blue and clear for the next coming generations, years, decades and centuries ahead.
The reduction of food and agricultural wastes is placed at the top of waste management hierarchies because the best means waste management is to reduce waste by not creating it in first place. The reduction of food and agricultural waste can also be achieved through the reuse of products. The reduction and reuse of wastes save natural resources, reduces generation of wastes and reduces the cost associated with food and agricultural waste disposal.
Food and agricultural waste of different consistencies requires different management techniques and handling equipment. Food and agricultural waste may be in the form of liquid, slurry, semisolid, or solid, waste, such as manure can change consistency throughout the system, all the year. The total solid concentration of manure is the main characteristic that indicates how the material can be handled.
Many agricultural enterprises use large amounts of agricultural chemicals. The use of these chemicals seems to increase the cost of labor increases. With this increased uses comes the potential for surface and groundwater contamination as a result of improper storage of chemical residue, rinse water, and unused chemicals and the improper disposal of empty containers. State and local authority should be considered before planning any chemical handling system.
State and local authority must be contacted for necessary permits obtained before land application. Many permits require ongoing monitoring of groundwater and possibly soil and plant matter. Hydraulic loading is often ignored. If the site has a high water table or low permeability, the amount of water that can be applied generally is reduced. In some food processing waste, the level of salt is too high for land application. Most food processing waste land application sites should be designed by a professional who has experience in these type systems.
