It highlights modern scientific advances and practical approaches for the sustainable management of organic waste generated in agriculture.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">As agriculture seeks to transition toward circular and climate-smart systems, efficient recycling of organic residues such as manure and crop wastes becomes increasingly important. The book demonstrates how nature-based strategies can improve the composting process and support the broader goal of reducing dependence on synthetic fertilisers while enhancing soil health and environmental sustainability.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Editors and contributing institutions<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The book is edited by an international team of researchers from institutions involved in sustainable agriculture research:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Rupesh Kumar Singh<\/strong> \u2013 University of Tr\u00e1s-os-Montes and Alto Douro (UTAD), Portugal<\/li>\n<li><strong>Henrique Trindade<\/strong> \u2013 University of Tr\u00e1s-os-Montes and Alto Douro (UTAD), Portugal<\/li>\n<li><strong>Jo\u00e3o Ricardo Sousa<\/strong> \u2013 University of Tr\u00e1s-os-Montes and Alto Douro (UTAD), Portugal<\/li>\n<li><strong>Arne S\u00e6b\u00f8<\/strong> \u2013 Norwegian Institute of Bioeconomy Research (NIBIO), Norway<\/li>\n<li><strong>Vishnu D.
