This document presents information on the prospect of hydroponic fodder production in Bangladesh. Hydroponics is a method of growing plants without soil by using nutrient-rich water. It has several advantages over conventional fodder production, including using less land and water, having higher yields, and not depending on climate. Hydroponic fodder also has higher nutritional content. Its use can help address challenges facing dairy farmers in Bangladesh from urbanization and rising costs. It provides a sustainable way to meet growing demand for milk products.
This document proposes incorporating hydroponically grown green fodder into horse feed as a cost-effective and balanced diet. Analysis shows hydroponic barley and oats have significantly higher protein, moisture and mineral content than conventional feeds. A new feed formula replacing some grains and hay with hydroponic barley provides comparable nutrition to conventional feed at a lower cost. Using this formula could save horse farms over Rs. 10 lakh per year in feed costs while improving horse health, digestion and behavior.

This document provides information on integrated farming systems (IFS) and municipal solid waste management in India. It defines IFS as a resource management strategy that integrates various agricultural components like crops, livestock, fisheries, etc. to improve economic and environmental sustainability. It discusses the goals and elements of IFS, as well as examples of IFS models for different agro-climatic zones. The document also defines municipal solid waste and its composition in Indian cities. It then discusses methods of recycling organic municipal waste through composting and waste-to-energy technologies.
In a country like Bangladesh where land is scarce, effort should be taken to increase production through integration of various production system like animal-cum-fish or rice-cum-fish culture for efficient utilization of available meagre resources and maximization of production of diversified products, from a minimum area, which will increase the income of the farmers and would enhance food production. A multi-commodity farming system presents more advantages to a mono-cropping system. But the commodity-integration must fit into the particular farmer's capability, resources and need as well as the social, economic and environmental factors around him.
Hydroponics Africa Ltd seeks to address food insecurity in dry counties of Kenya by introducing a simplified and sustainable hydroponics system to produce fodder and food crops using minimal water. The system uses a 144 square meter shed to produce 1.5 tonnes of green feed daily, equivalent to 110kg of dry matter, containing 25% protein. This feed allows pastoralists to finish cattle for market at 1kg daily growth. Hydroponics also improves milk production and benefits sheep and goats. Wick irrigation will be used to grow additional crops with only 1/4 the water of conventional methods. The roles of partners will be to transfer the technology, establish units, and monitor the program.

"Bodles Fodder Pellets": Developing a Feed Supplementation Strategy to Enhance Livestock Production under prolonged drought conditions, in the humid tropics
According to the EPA, 30% of food scraps and yard waste in landfills could be composted instead. In 2018, 146.2 million tons of waste was sent to landfills while only 42.6 million tons was composted. Compost improves soil quality by retaining moisture, returning nutrients to the soil, and reducing emissions from landfills. Good compost needs a mixture of greens like food scraps and browns like leaves in equal amounts, with adequate water. As materials break down, compost progresses from an initial mixture to a dark, earthy-smelling end product.

In recent years, it is no doubt that in India, where on one side pollution is increasing day by day due to accumulation of organic waste and on the other side there is a great shortage of organic manure.
It has been estimated that India, as a whole, generates as much as 25 million tonnes of urban solid waste of diverse composition per year. Solid waste comprises of both organic and inorganic matter.
Under the present condition of environmental degradation, vermicomposting technology is the best way to meet all the requirements of the society. This is a process of recycling trash/agricultural wastes in an efficient and eco-friendly manner in order to produce quality compost.
Organic wastes can be broken down and fragmented rapidly by earthworms, resulting in a stable non-toxic material with good structure, which has a potentially high economic value and also acts as a soil conditioner for plant growth.
It is a type of composting in which worms eat and metabolize organic matter that comprises to a better end product known as Vermicast (commonly called as BLACK GOLD) which has a stuff of nutrients that can be directly incorporated into the soil to help with plant fertilization, soil enrichment and soil stability.From a social point of view, organic fertilizers will:
Improve the social status of the individuals and the community.
Create motivation for people to live in the countryside by providing job
opportunities and business plans.
From a hygienic point of view, organic fertilizers will:
Produce chemical-free crops which will improve people's health.
Reduce the danger of lung diseases and other diseases resulting from burning the organic wastes in the field.EPIGEIC EARTHWORMS:
Earthworms of this group cannot make burrows in the soil. They can only move through crevices of the surface. They feed exclusively on decomposing organic wastes.
ENDOGEIC EARTHWORMS:
They are subsoil dwellers. Secretions of body wall of earthworms cement and smoothen the walls of the burrows and protect the wall from collapsing easily. They move below 30cm or more in the soil
ANECIC EARTHWORMS:
They are found in the soil, which is not frequently disturbed. They make very complicated burrows in the sol and they firmly pack their burrow walls with their castings. The Anecic earthworms like Epigeic earthworms are commonly found in temperate countries.Vermicompost is an excellent soil additive made up of digested compost. Worm castings are much higher in nutrients and microbial life and therefore, are considered as a higher value product. Worm castings contain up to 5 times the plant available nutrients. It not only adds microbial organisms and nutrients that have long lasting residual effects, it also modulates structure to the existing soil, increases water retention capacity. Vermicompost contains an average of 1.5% - 2.2% N, 1.8% - 2.2% P and 1.0% - 1.5% K. The organic carbon is ranging from 9.15 to 17.98 and contains micronutrients Nitrogen, phosphorus, Potassium..
According to a conservative estimate, around 800 to 1000 Mt of agricultural wastes available in India every year, but most of it is not used properly. We must convert this waste into wealth by mobilizing all biomass in bioenergy and supply nutrients to the soil.
Agricultural waste -
1.Reduce indiscriminate disposal or burning of waste products which cause both soil, water and air pollution.
2. can maintaining the fertility of the soil
3.Conversion of all forms of vegetable and animal waste into organic matter suitable for the needs of the growing crop.
4.Can help the farmer to increase their socio-economic and also country income
5.Able to reduce the cost of animal feeding

This document summarizes a presentation on unpacking systemic gender inequality across institutional landscapes in watershed research. The presentation discusses how gender norms and values of institutional stakeholders remain a "black box" in gender research. It notes that while gender is a cross-cutting theme in CGIAR research, organizations and institutional actors who shape policies are less researched. The presentation describes a study that used interviews to understand the perspectives of watershed scientists and development practitioners regarding gender competencies and inclusion in watershed programs and research. It found evidence of "hydropatriarchies" in watershed institutions and a need to better represent local knowledge and marginalized voices.

2. 1- Waste
a) Domestic
Kitchen - separated
Meat and fish
Fruit and vegetable
Grey water – clothes and utensils washing
Bathroom – grey water – personal washing
Toilet – urine and faeces
General – paper, garden green waste, glass, tins, plastic …
3. b) Agriculture
Weeding
Post-harvest
Rice, cocoa bean, coco pea, other bean and peanut husks, etc.
Plant residue left standing maize, rice, all bean stalks
Animals
Cow, pig and goat dung and droppings
Chicken coop litters, droppings including sawdust, etc.
4. 2- Re-use Option, Green-Gro Ltd choice
Waste easier to collect
Transportation
Location – predominant waste
Best combination for highest NPK and minerals for soil aeration.
5. 3- Composting, Working practical experience
Rodale Institute, Pennsylvania USA (Funded USAID, TIP Programme)
Travelling through many towns in many US states studying the different
systems for Urban Waste Management (Funded USAID)
Yorkshire Water Company, UK, turning de-watered sewage sludge into
compost (self funded)
London Borough Recycling Association (LARAC) UK, waste separation,
management, composting, biogas (self funded)
Visiting towns in Denmark, urban waste management, windrow
composting outdoors, indoors with spent mushroom litter (funded
DANIDA)
Ontario, Canada, garden and foresting green waste (self funded)`
6. 4- Physical requirements
Minimum land for commercial product, 5 acres
Access to clean water, piped, river, lake, well.
Electricity or generator for pumping water
Compacted hard standing, support – large, heavy trucks, ideal being
concrete.
7. 5- Green-Gro Limited adaptation of - book
learning - education to gain the experience to
work with local conditions
a) Production materials
Accra – sawdust – (soft woods) - brewery wash and liquor
Tema – Cocoa bean husk, cow dung
Dawhenya – rice husk – cow dung – good droppings – chicken coop litters
Takoradi – sawdust (soft woods) – cocoa bean husks – caw dung, chicken
coop litter
Kade – palm nut husks – sawdust (soft woods) – chicken coop litter – pig
dung
Kumasi – sawdust (soft woods) – chicken coop litter – brewery mash and
liquor – pig dung.
Tamale – rice husks – groundnut husks – cow dung.
8. b) Method
Proportional mix of materials
Heating – test with hand or 1 meter long lance thermometer
Water and turn to cool and moisten every 3-4 weeks depending on the
weather, and until heap stops heating up.
9. c) Sales
Commercial farmers, vegetable growers, fruit growers, flower growers
Landscape designers and contractors
Home vegetable and flowers for gardens and pots
To NGOs to supply to farmers as inputs.
Fish farming and snail rearing.
Long relationship with our buyers since 1998
10. 6- Food security
a) Chemical fertilizer alone cannot solve the problem of soil fertility.
Organic material is essential to be added to all soils.
It is the combination of chemical and organic matter that is
necessary to give good quality and yield to ensure food security.
11. b) Way forward
Education is necessary to explain the need of organic matter in the soil for
soil fertility
More commercial natural (organic) compost makers
Compost makers to work with Agriculture Extension Officers to equal the
opportunity with the chemical fertilizer.
Lobby the government and Minister of Agriculture for budget to compost
sewage sludge which will give a large quantity of organic matter for
composting
Government gives farmers subsidised chemical fertilizers. If 20% of this was
given to organic matter or compost makers, it would encourage and educate
farmers to use both organic and chemical hand-in-hand to see the benefit in
crops quality and yield.
