The complex environmental problems associated with agro-industries urgently need effective solutions based upon scientific information and engineering experience, as so the related issues of pollutant run-off from agriculture and sewage treatment in rural areas. The series of international symposia on Waste Management Problems in Agro-industries has become a firmly established regular IWA event, and these latest selected proceedings again make a major contribution to this task. Of the many high-quality contributions, the Programme Committee could only accommodate 44 papers. Topics covered include: diffuse pollution; agricultural and animal wastes; aerobic and anaerobic processes; nutrient removal; physicochemical processes; and wastes from the textile and food and beverage industries. They will certainly provide the necessary scientific background for the discussion of the multitude of problems involved in the appropriate management of wastes from agro-industries and agricultural activities.

Agricultural Waste Management: Problems, Processes, and Approaches is a summary of the processes and approaches applicable to the solution of agricultural waste management problems. This book is organized into three part encompassing 13 chapters that is intended as a bridge between theory and practice as well as between the many disciplines that are involved in agricultural waste management. The primary focus of agricultural waste management is on the obvious problems of odor control and feedlot runoff. The first part looks into the status of agricultural waste problem and the application of engineering and scientific fundamentals to the management of these wastes. This part also deals with the role of the land in waste management, and then outlines the guidelines for the development of feasible waste management systems. The second part describes the fundamentals, principles, and benefits of various waste management processes, including biological processes, ponds and lagoons, aerobic, anaerobic, physical, and chemical treatments, and nitrogen control; as well as treatment systems, such as ponds, lagoons, and land disposal. The third part examines the integration of the most economical and equitable combination of alternative technologies into feasible waste management approaches. This work will be of great value to agricultural producers and manufacturers, scientists, and engineers.

The project of establishing a scientific basis for discussing and solving emerging environmental problems in agro-industries has flourishing one over the last two decades. The term agro industries defines a common scientific framework for a significant group of industrial activities based on agricultural means and products, covering a number of major industries such as textiles, pulp and paper, leather, food, sugar, edible oil, beverage, etc. The symposium in Amsterdam provided an effective forum for discussion of the present and future problems, recent experiences and advances in this significant field of environmental management, giving rise to high-quality papers that were fully peer reviewed, with 32 finally being selected for this issue. The concept of waste management has greatly improved over the last twenty years, with outstanding achievements in the understanding of wastewater characteristics and interpretation of biological and physico-chemical processes used for treatment and disposal. There have also been major innovations in waste management directing the focus towards issues like persistent organic pollutants (POPS), resources recovery and reuse, waste minimization, treatment of segregated waste streams, etc. The papers selected for this issue provide genuine insight into current best practice and also set out a basis for significant collaborative research efforts for agro-industries waste management.
