**7.2 Addition of some moisture-absorbing inert materials**

Moisture is very crucial factor in hindrance of microbial enzymatic activity in solid-state fermentation decomposition method. So, some moisture-absorbing inert ingredient is very important for maintaining the decomposition activity.

productivity and soil health. By following this approach, farmers need not

2.**Technological advancement for quick composting:** Compositing process is a time-consuming process, but due to some technological advancement, the compositing process's duration could be shortened. According to Lim et al. [69], addition of polyethylene glycol and jaggery speeds up the compositing process and results in a superior quality compost. These additives are costeffective. More research studies should be done in these additives for finding

3.**Use of genetically modified stains of innoculum:** Genetically modified stains of microbial inoculums will be used to accelerate the bioconversion of organic matter. These modified stains are more efficient than the natural innoculum. These innoculum will produce uniform compositing in an efficient way.

4.**Government agencies support:** Government supports the compositing process by providing loans and grants for compositing facilities for farmers.

5.**Installation of bioreactors to reduce the toxic gas emissions:** Bioreactors can be used to reduce the emission of toxic volatile organic constitutes. This strategy would manage the toxic gases emissions and save the environment

6.**Utilization of heat release in other energy sources:** Heat released during the compost formation can be utilized as a reliable energy source [73]. The energy generated by these heat harvests would be a sustainable and renewable source of energy in near future. In coming years, compost formation will not only

decompose the residues but will also be a source of many other
