The "waste2crop" doctrine is built to combine two completely different disciplines: the world of "waste" (collecting and reprocessing organic waste) and the world of "agriculture" to reach large-scale crop yield based on organic waste without using fossil/chemical fertilizers. The "waste2crop" doctrine is designated to address waste and large-scale agriculture. The "waste2crop" approach is based on sophisticated, directed, advanced, controlled, and monitored vermicompost systems that create soil that enables the plants' best rhizosphere environment. This makes a fundamental difference between the standard way of the organic waste recycling industry, mainly based on compost. All involved in agriculture are familiar with the agricultural components of the doctrine. However, the farmers are not familiar with the methods and the use of the new sustainable products produced by the "waste2crop", and the processes of preparing the soil for sowing and irrigation regime differ from those used in agricultural cultivation based on fossil fertilizers. The setup for converting all varieties of organic waste to fertile soil enables crops without fossil fertilizers. Carrying years of experience, a clear conclusion is that these two disciplines (agriculture + waste) should not be linked. Hence, we created an integrated and understandable system that engages the two, enabling farmers to convert organic waste to grow crops without fossil fertilizers. The "Waste2Crop" approach is an essential component of the circular economy, where organic waste becomes a valuable resource, promoting sustainability and reducing the environmental impact of waste management and agriculture.
