Decoding Fermented Organic Manure (FOM)

OPEN FOR AL

In June 2023, the Government of India introduced the Market Development Assistance scheme, offering Rs 1,500 per tonne to support the marketing of organic fertilisers -- Fermented Organic Manures (FOM)/Liquid FOM/Phosphate Rich Organic Manures (PROM). These are produced as by-products from operational biogas or compressed biogas (CBG) plants under the umbrella of the GOBARdhan scheme.

Remarkably, FOM already constitutes a significant 20 per cent of the input feedstock in any CBG plant, thus playing a pivotal role in the thriving CBG industry. However, the true potential of FOM remains hidden from both farmers and CBG plant operators due to a lack of awareness about its properties and enrichment mechanisms.

To address this issue, Centre for Science and the Environment (CSE) is organising its next webinar under the Practitioner’s Knowledge Building Series – the event will delve into various aspects of FOM ranging from its properties, policies, handling, enrichment, and applications. The primary objective is to unlock the opportunities and overcome challenges surrounding FOM, ensuring the financial sustainability of CBG plants

Important note: This event is aimed at building knowledge and awareness. CSE will not provide any certificate for attendance.
