Vermitechnology as a Sustainable Solution: Transforming Organic Waste into Economic and Environmental Wealth

Vermitechnology offers a practical and sustainable solution for managing organic waste while contributing to agricultural productivity and environmental conservation. This technique leverages the transformative capabilities of earthworms to convert organic waste into valuable resources. This method reduces landfill waste, eliminates harmful pathogens, and improves soil health. It also supports industries like food production, brewing, and textiles by turning their organic waste into valuable fertilizers and soil conditioners. This study explores the potential of vermitechnology to address environmental, economic, and social challenges. It highlights the role of this approach in recycling waste, enriching soil, and reducing the need for chemical fertilizers. We further demonstrate how vermitechnology can drive green entrepreneurship, support community development, and promote a circular economy. By focusing on waste-to-wealth initiatives, vermitechnology proves to be a powerful tool for sustainable development and resource optimization. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2025.
