Utilization of Food Waste to Improving Landscape Soil
Original language description
There is wasted more than billion of food over the world. Food waste is all food removed from the food supply chain. It contains waste from production, processing, retail and food services to consumers. This research was aimed at composting food waste into compost which can improve landscape soil. Composting ingredients were food leftover from the canteen at Mendel University in Brno like cooked potatoes, cooked rice, and vegetables. According to a previous investigation by authors, it was necessary to put some additives to composting process. We decided to use sawdust because it has positive effect on microbes, moisture, pH and C/N ratio. After the composting process, the final compost was tested for physicochemical (temperature, pH) and biological analysis (seed germination). Results show that compost has a positive effect on seed germination and can be used as a soil amendment because it is obvious that compost has many benefits for soil.
