Cambodia – From Mushroom waste into environmentally friendly organic fertilizer

Farmers in Sombo Village, Kompong Thom Province, Cambodia, have started using organic farming technology in their crops, by converting wasted mushroom waste, into chemicals-free organic fertilizer for vegetables and consumers. Mr. Sean Sorphalla, the owner of one of the organic farms, stated that the use of mushroom waste on his farm helps to fertilize the soil, in addition to making the farm a place to teach local agricultural students in this field. Sorphalla is looking forward that all citizens will support the technology of organic vegetables, especially since the chemicals added to vegetables are not good for health.
