Elsevier Mycorrhizae, Microplastics and Money: Wastes as a Resource for Farming and Forestry to Deliver Reversal of Global Warming: Volume 17 (Developments in Environmental Science, Volume 17)

Mycorrhizae, Microplastics and Money: Wastes as a Resource for Farming and Forestry to Deliver Reversal of Global Warming introduces a groundbreaking, technology-driven global plan that aims to achieve environmental sustainability through financial incentives. This book explores innovative methods to upcycle end-of-life materials using mycorrhizae and microplastic technology, emphasizing the importance of transforming waste into valuable resources without relying on mineral fertilizers, while still achieving higher crop yields. The potential for earning carbon credits is also discussed. The book delves into safe waste upscaling techniques, ensuring both financial and environmental sustainability. It offers practical approaches to land management and discusses the concept of reverse franchising, emphasizing its role in promoting widespread adoption of sustainable practices. Contributes an understanding on how the mycorrhizae in composting processes and soils can be used on an industrial scale to upcycle wastes safely and productively Provides the first results from in-field and academic replicated plot trials of developing microplastics and turning end-of-life materials into microplastics Highlights a proven plan to manage land to teach landowners and farmers to upcycle wastes and minimize mineral fertilizers
