    CHAPTER I
    Introduction

    BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY


    The agricultural industry is constantly seeking sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives to
    traditional fertilizers due to the increasing amount of food waste. Even though there are many
    agricultural products that uses banana and orange peels, but still is often thrown away and still a
    waste. This study aims to explore the feasibility and effectiveness of using fruit peels as a
    sustainable fertilizer option.

    Agriculture plays a crucial role in meeting the global demand for food, yet conventional farming
    practices often come at a significant environmental cost. The reliance on synthetic fertilizers has
    raised concerns due to their adverse effects on soil health, water quality, and overall ecosystem
    sustainability. The accumulation of agricultural waste further compounds environmental
    challenges, as disposal methods contribute to pollution and resource wastage.

    The motivation for this study stems from the urgent need to address two interconnected issues:
    the environmental impact of agricultural waste and the quest for sustainable farming practices.
    The detrimental effects of synthetic fertilizers on soil structure, microbial diversity, and water
    systems necessitate a shift toward more environmentally friendly alternatives. The abundance of
    orange and banana peels, coupled with their nutrient-rich composition, makes them promising
    candidates for mitigating these challenges.

    By repurposing fruit peels as fertilizers, not only can we potentially reduce the environmental
    burden associated with waste disposal, but we may also provide a cost-effective and sustainable
    solution for farmers. This study aims to delve into the specific benefits and challenges associated
    with using orange and banana peels as alternative fertilizers, examining their impact on soil
    fertility, plant growth, and overall agricultural sustainability.

    The investigation into this alternative fertilizer source aligns with global efforts to promote
    circular economies, reduce reliance on harmful agrochemicals, and enhance the resilience of
    farming systems. Ultimately, the findings of this study could contribute to the development of
    practical, eco-friendly solutions that bridge the gap between agricultural productivity and
    environmental stewardship.
