A scientist helps a Goa town turn kitchen scraps into compost in two days

Here’s a clever way to give kitchen scraps a second life: Nisargruna, developed by BARC scientist Dr Sharad Kale, turns one tonne of food waste into around 150 kg of nutrient-rich manure in just 24 to 48 hours. The process separates biodegradable scraps from dry waste, then uses microorganisms and air to break them down right where they are collected. In Bicholim, Goa, this local approach can mean less waste sent to landfills, fewer garbage trips and cleaner materials for recycling. Now, plans to bring the technology to more Goan municipalities and villages could help even more communities return food scraps to the soil.
