 We also providing knowledge of how the composting happens, a step-by-step guide for home composting and preparing Effective Micro-organisms for Food Waste Composting. On the other hand, this product can enhance the awareness of public on the roles and importance of science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) in socio-economic well being and sustainable development.
