This groundbreaking book explores the science and innovation behind zoocomposting - composting facilitated by animals such as earthworms, black soldier flies (BSF), and termites. It presents the high-rate vermicomposting (HRVC) paradigm, a revolutionary approach that enables the rapid conversion of phytowaste, even toxic and recalcitrant plant materials, into potent organic fertilizers without the need for pre-composting or manure supplementation. It details the design and performance of advanced vermireactors, the transformative effects of vermicomposting on plant growth, and the potential of BSF and termites in waste degradation. By tracing the history and mechanisms of both microbial and animal-assisted composting, this book offers valuable insights into sustainable waste management and soil fertility enhancement, making it an essential resource for researchers, environmentalists, and agricultural innovators. It serves as a practical guide for professionals and researchers working in agriculture, soil science and sustainability in general.
