Abstract
It is among the targets of sustainable agriculture to develop and maintain quality agricultural land and an efficient soil structure. Due to the interest in sustainable agriculture, the addition of organic wastes to promote the physical, chemical and biological characteristics of the soil will strengthen the soil structure and will play an important role in efficient agricultural activities in the future. Agricultural waste, which is a sustainable problem for the future generations, and which is a significant problem for the farmers, constitutes an important field of application for the solution of the waste problem of farmers and the solution of the efficiency problem of farmlands. Another benefit of using food waste is its economic potential to contribute to the reduction of costs significantly in agricultural production.
