Alternative strategies for mitigating global warming through the application of rice straw waste composting technology
Authors
Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of this article is to determine the composting method of rice straw waste that is adaptive to global warming mitigation efforts. Two composting methods are commonly known as innovations in rice straw waste management, namely aerobic and anaerobic, but no one has studied methods that are in line with global warming mitigation.
Method: The writing of the article was carried out with a literature study method approach. The author collected data from books and scientific papers related to the mentioned issues, including rice straw waste management, global warming, greenhouse gas emissions, agricultural industry, rice straw composting, and climate change mitigation. Information was collected through online searches using specific keywords on sites such as Google Scholar, PubMed, and Web of Science.
Results: Rice straw composting helps prevent straw burning that causes global warming while increasing crop productivity and reducing environmental pollution. Development and selection of composting methods are important to obtain a composting strategy that is adaptive to global warming mitigation efforts.
Conclusion: Aerobic composting is a better option in reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The aerobic method is more suitable for in-situ composting in paddy fields, it is practical, easy, and fast. Besides being an innovation in waste management that is adaptive to global warming mitigation, aerobic composting is also in line with the implementation of the LEISA concept and circular economy.
Highlights
- The choice of composting method is an innovation in mitigating global warming from agricultural waste management.
- Mitigating global warming through the selection of composting methods while increasing crop productivity and reducing pollution.
- The aerobic composting method is more adaptive to global warming mitigation, compared to anaerobic.
- Aerobic composting, in addition to being adaptive to global warming mitigation, can also be done in situ, easily, and practically.
- Selection of the right composting method strengthens the implementation of the LEISA concept and circular economy
