GEF/World Bank Project in Georgia: - Liquid Slurry from Biogas Digesters Used for Vegetable Garden Biogas Digester for 45 Pig Facility in Vietnam Improved Technology in Georgia: -Manure Storage Facility for Individual Farmers China: Biogas from Manure Digester being used to heat Green Houses Erosion Control: Conservation Reduces sediment and phosphorus losses Tillage BMPs:Contour Erosion Control planting BMPs: Stream Bank Management Buffers filter/treat: – Sediment – Nutrients – Pathogens Before After BMPs: Runoff Control Field borders can reduce the surface movement of nutrients into nonagricultural land. BMPs: Runoff Control Buffer between field edges and ditches can reduce nutrient movement offsite. (continued) Emerging Research Areas: Bio-security and Environmental Quality SUMMARY and a Main Message Properly managed manure is not an environmental threat but an excellent source of nutrients for crops. Major issues for air and water quality are: 1) Accidental spills of lagoons to rivers and the practice of getting rid of animal waste (as a mismanagement) rather than using it as a fertilzer 2) Use of manure for whole farm nutrient balance is the key to a successful management
