ABSTRACT
Currently, the majority of the existing technologies for organic-waste recycling are not ecologically satisfactory and require large power inputs. As an alternative to existing methods, a completely new trend in the science of organic-waste bioconversion is called vermitechnology. Vermitechnology is based on the application of earthworms to organic-waste disposal. This complex method of bioconversion of environment-polluting industrial and agricultural organic wastes assumes producing two kinds of products: vermicompost and earthworm biomass. Vermiculture is a large and ecologically based business that results not only in a transition to ecological husbandry and production of high-quality food products but also helps in the development of a country’s economy.
