Future of biogas
Biogas recovery systems are another potential source of
income for farmers, including those with swine operations.
Codigestion describes a process in which multiple types of
organic wastes are fed into a single digester, enabling
higher methane output.
Eg: U.S. EPAs AgSTAR program, a voluntary outreach
and educational endeavor that promotes the
recovery and use of methane from animal manure,
has compiled a list of online resources for those who
are interested in employing such systems.

Compost is a key ingredient inorganic farming.
Compost is rich in nutrients.
Difference: Fertilizer provides nutrients to the plant in order for
them to grow. Compost is a mixture of organic waste that
provides nutrients to the soil.
Composting is an aerobic process where organic materials are
biologically decomposed, producing mainly compost, carbon
dioxide, water, and heat. Conventional composting processes
typically comprise four major microbiological stages in relation to
temperature: mesophilic, thermophilic, cooling, and maturation,
during which the structure of the microbial community also
changes, and the final product is compost
