Waste management through Vermin-culture

A vermin-composting project at the household and farm level was carried out in Baroda in 2007. Its major objective was to encourage families and farmers to manage their garbage at the household and farm level by adopting vermin-composting. The following were the specific objectives: a) To motivate families and farmers to segregate the garbage into degradable and non-degradable waste; b) To motivate and guide the families and farmers to adopt the system of vermin-composting for garbage management; c) to prepare a pamphlet on vermin-culture as a technique for garbage management at the levels of households and farms.
