Mixed culture of beneficial microbes: Jeevatu for Bio Degradable Waste Management Khadga Bhakta Paudel Executive Director/ Chief Scientist Nepalese Farming Institute Kathmandu, Nepal

Jeevatu, the mixed culture of beneficial microbes, found in Nepalese natural condition is developed by Nepalese Farming Institute (NFI), Kathmandu, Nepal; devoting more than three decades of time. Jeevatu Non Poisonous, Non Chemical and Not Genetically Modified Capable to manage organic waste Solve the soil and plant problems in eco-friendly, sustainable and cost effective ways.

United Nations estimates More than half of the world’s population already live in urban areas By 2050, three quarters of the total world population will be city dwellers Waste management is becoming a major and growing public health and environmental concerns The United Nations estimates

2. Delay in decomposition Bio-degradable waste 2. Delay in decomposition 1. Emits foul odor Major Concerns Further pesticide residues loaded agro-products which are about half (70%) of the solid waste cause environment pollution and adverse effect to human health in the developing countries.

Lack of funding for the eco-friendly, sustainable development Lack of development and dissemination of eco-friendly, sustainable, cost effective technologies Lack of funding for the eco-friendly, sustainable development Results Environment Pollution & Global Warming

Jeevatu Based Technology 1.Developed to achieve the eco-friendly, sustainable farming system 2. Used for the proper management of Bio-degradable waste 3. Make high quality compost 4. Applicable to household level or large scale projects of composting municipal city waste

Value Addition By Jeevatu An application of the 5-10% solution of Jeevatu on organic waste completely, instantly stops the off smell and enhances fast decomposition process. 2. The compost prepared by the use of Jeevatu depicted high nutrient content such as 4.025% Nitrogen, 1.125% Phosphorus and 2.250 % Potash and microbes to solubilize fixed plant nutrients and manage several soil borne disease and insect pest problems. Such high quality, value added compost is the good source for revenue generation for solid waste management and input for agriculture sector to enhance the declined/stagnated crop productivity.

Organization working in city waste management in Nepal Kathmandu Metropolitan City Nepal Pollution Control and Environment Management Center (NEPCEMAC) Women Environment Preservation Committee of Nepal (WEPCO) They are using Jeevatu for the complete control of foul odor and preparation of value added, high quality compost.

Limitation of The Technology Contamination of Jeevatu with any kind of chemical pesticides which are hazardous to the microbes of Jeevatu

Jeevatu based technologies Excellent remedies for eco-friendly, sustainable, cost effective solid waste management. Supplying input to increase soil organic matter which enhances crop productivity and sequesters carbon di- oxide. If the soil organic matter of all cultivated land of the world increased by one percent then the problems of global warming can be completely managed. Control of pest problems in agriculture sector. Thus, use of Jeevatu for solid waste management and eco-friendly, sustainable farming system are the best ways to mitigate adverse effect of climate change.
