BIBLIOGRAPHIC ANALYSIS OF THE MAIN ELEMENTS THAT INFLUENCE THE COMPOSTING PROCESS

Abstract

With the advancement of technologies, Agronomy plays a fundamental role in the adaptation of new knowledge, including composting, an essential technique for minimizing environmental impacts. Traditionally used in rural areas and in recycling centers, composting allows the reuse of organic waste, transforming it into fertilizer and reducing pollution. The growing generation of waste, driven by population and technological growth, requires efficient management of these materials. Composting, in addition to being an ancient practice, has economic and environmental benefits, such as increased soil productivity, waste reduction, and reduced pollution. This study aims to review the factors involved in the composting process, addressing its history, the main elements that favor its application, and its relevance to Agronomy as a sustainable and accessible practice in organic waste management.
