Converting Dairy Waste into More Usable Products through Vermiculture

Summary

This project plans to address the problem of increasing amounts of dairy waste, a decreasing market for dairy manure in its natural state, and the detrimental environmental impact of dairy waste on the air, water, and soil. Dairy manure will be converted into a more usable product, vermicompost, through the addition of composting worms and utilizing the wastewater from dairies.
