| Summary: | Everyday food is consumed by humans for survival and basic needs for
daily consumption. When humans eat food, there will be waste such as unfinished
food or bones. With increasing food waste on earth, it can cause many kinds of
diseases if the waste is not managed properly. Tons of food waste are created yearly
on earth. To overcome the food waste problem, composting was introduced so we can
recycle the food waste into compost fertilizer that can help improve soil nutrition.
This research paper presents an overview of Fertilization of Food Waste Management
in UTHM’s Cafeteria. This project aims to produce compost fertilizer within a shorter
time. The machine will preserve the food waste and let it decompose by letting good
bacteria eat the waste. The machine will create an optimum temperature so that the
microorganism can live and decompose food waste into fertilizer. Temperature and
moisture are monitored during the decomposition of food waste. With the help of this
machine, food wastage produces daily can be reduced. Different kinds of pollution
and sickness can also be reduced so that humans can live in a healthy world. |
