Sustainable management of organic residues dragged attention to develop model circular based economy in agriculture. Exponential increase in animal farming to meet the food security goals appeared as one of the major contributors of organic waste produce. Sustainable and effective transformation of this waste into fertilization resource, has become an urgent topic for environmental protection; while newly imposed regulations have been enforcing the researchers to obtain nature-based solutions (NBS). Major problems during composting of organic residues are Greenhouse gas emission (GHG), nutrient loss, ammonia volatilization, denitrification, nitrate leaching: thus, poor quality manures production. Thus, it is necessary to understand the mechanism during the composting process to develop sustainable composting practices by using NBS; to address multiple issues by a unique treatment method. The future of agriculture must change to adapt more sustainable approaches and recycling the organic residues to minimize the environmental impacts. Application of these transformed organic residues to soil to improve the soil natural properties and enrich the natural microbiome. The better crop…
