Stubble Burning Solution: Merino Industries' Composting Technology
Extract from the article:
A scenic drive through the North Indian countryside in winter is both beautiful and concerning as stubble burning becomes a challenge for farmers nationwide.
Merino Industries has innovated a solution to this issue by introducing a composting system that transforms paddy straw into compost. This initiative aims to combat the environmental repercussions of stubble burning, offering a sustainable alternative for farmers to manage crop residue effectively.
Stubble burning, a prevailing practice in states like Punjab, Haryana, and Uttar Pradesh, contributes significantly to air pollution, particularly in Delhi-NCR. By converting agricultural waste into compost through this eco-friendly approach, Merino Industries is addressing a critical issue that impacts both agricultural productivity and environmental well-being.
This composting method not only mitigates air pollution but also provides farmers with a valuable resource that enhances soil fertility and promotes sustainable farming practices.
My Take:
Stubble Problem Solution : Local or Foreign ?.. 10 Oct 2022
"The sustainable solution offered by Merino Industries resonates with the global shift towards eco-friendly agricultural practices.
As I highlighted in my blog post about the importance of exploring local and foreign methods for stubble management, initiatives like Merino Industries' composting technology showcase the potential for impactful change in addressing environmental challenges.
It is encouraging to see a practical application of innovative solutions that prioritize both farmer livelihoods and environmental conservation."
Stubble Puzzle ?... 17 Sept 2023
"In my discussion on converting crop residue into high-energy fuel through torrefaction technology, the relevance of transitioning from stubble burning to sustainable practices becomes evident.
Merino Industries' composting system aligns with the objective of utilizing agricultural waste effectively to generate valuable resources like compost.
This not only tackles the stubble burning puzzle in North India but also offers a pathway towards creating renewable energy sources and additional income avenues for farmers."
Call to Action:
To the policymakers at NITI Aayog and relevant authorities, I urge a concerted effort to integrate innovative solutions like Merino Industries' composting technology into comprehensive stubble management policies.
Embracing such sustainable practices can not only curb air pollution but also promote a circular economy that benefits farmers, the environment, and society at large.
