The STAC vermicomposting unit, operational for two years, demonstrates an efficient model for converting farm waste into high-quality compost using vigorous earthworm species (tiger worms and red worms). With a production capacity of 5 tons per cycle, the unit achieves complete degradation within 70–80 days. The resulting vermicompost has enhanced soil fertility on our STAC farm and has been sold to local farmers at fair prices, promoting sustainable agriculture. Beyond production, the unit serves as a hands-on training hub for composting technology and marketing for students, while also functioning as a replicable model for farmer training programs. This initiative highlights the dual benefits of waste management and agricultural productivity through decentralized vermicomposting.
