Waste-Fertilizer
Taking human waste, and converting it into fertilizer that can be used in agriculture.
The solution:
The solution that our organization has come up with is a system that creates organic fertilizer out of human waste in India, and by doing this we will sell the fertilizer to farmers around India. This solution improves crop yields, and disposes of human waste in a way that will not be detrimental to the Indian people’s water supply. The success of this solution can be measured when there is physically less waste to be cleaned in India, and the crop yields by local farmers skyrocket. This solution is innovative because it is not only disposing of waste, but it is repurposing it to benefit farmers. We will have a sustainable funding stream coming in from farmers and if need be, we will require a royalty from crops sold from those farmers. This organic manure/fertilizer will improve the quality of the soil for the farmers land in the long run, Organaholic.com says, “Manure is a key component in organic farming and does wonders for the soil. Synthetic fertilizers give plants each year the minimal nutrients they need to grow, but over time does only harm to the soil. It’s estimated that one inch of topsoil erodes every 28 years under synthetic fertilizer use, whereas it took nature 500 years to create it. Farming organically, with manure, on the other hand, not only does not strip topsoil but can create one inch of it in just little over eight years.” This article clearly reinforces our point of the benefits of organic manure.
