This book is dedicated to the reuse of waste and residues from the agricultural sector. Plant residues, as well as animal manure and residues from animal breeding, contain useful ele‐ ments that can be processed for production of fertilizers, compost for soil recultivation and biofuels. The emerging energy and resources crisis calls for development of sustainable use of resources, namely reuse of waste and residues. The reuse of waste is an important part of the cycle or green economy, which is the subject of present development. This book contains eight chapters and is divided into four sections. The first section contains the introductory chapter from the editor. The second section is related to the preparation of fertilizers and compost for soil amelioration from agricultural residues and waste water. The third section considers the use of agricultural waste for biofuels ‑ solid and biogas. The fourth section contains chapters discussing sustainability and risk assessment related to the use of agricul‐ tural waste and residues. Some of the chapters are with high scientific value and hence are oriented to more narrow auditory; some are popular and can be applied for dissemination of useful practices.

With the publication of this book, the editor (as well as the authors) hopes to increase the inter‐ est and information about the development of recycle economy especially in the rural regions.
