Why worms (and microbes) are catching on as a manure pollution solution

Farmers like Anthony Agueda in California are turning to worms and microbes to tackle manure pollution, a growing environmental concern in agricultural areas. By using earthworms to break down manure, farmers can reduce odor, greenhouse gas emissions, and water contamination, offering a sustainable alternative to traditional disposal methods. This shift not only helps manage waste more effectively but also promotes healthier soil and ecosystems, highlighting a broader trend toward more eco-friendly agricultural practices.
