The potential use of waste-stream products for soil amelioration in peri-urban interface agricultural production systems.

This review had an international rather than a country-specific focus although most of the examples cited were from developing countries. The review formed part of a strategy to develop and promote cost-effective techniques for recycling/processing organic waste-stream products (municipal waste, night soil and sewage sludge, poultry manures, and agroindustrial wastes from crop processing and livestock) for use as a fertilizer and contributed to the wider goal to increase productive potential by greater use of waste materials and recycling of resources. The information is given as a checklist to aid decision making.
