Abstract
The challenge of many researchers today is sustainable development. So when we talk about food waste management, there are several ways to apply it. One of them is the production of compost fertilizers by home composting as the most sustainable option for managing organic food waste by natural decomposition process at atmospheric pressure and at room temperature. The physical parameters were tested for pH value and the chemical parameters such as organic matter, Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium. In this work we have investigated 2 different samples under the name goat manure fertilizer and organic compost. We wanted to compare the quality of those different fertilizers. The experimental results showed that the organic fertilizer contain 1,5 times higher concentration of Phosphorus, comparable concentration of Nitrogen and 1,5 times lower concentration of Potassium than goat manure fertilizer.
