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.
