Singh, Shirish (author), Ibrahim, Mohammed Ali (author), Pawar, Sumeet (author), Brdjanovic, Damir (author)Although faecal sludge (FS) co-compost contains vital nutrients, there are several barriers limiting adoption and reuse of FS co-compost in agriculture. This study in Bhubaneswar found that health risk and bad odour were the two topmost negative perceptions of FS co-compost reuse. The main factors influencing farmers’ negative perceptions of...journal article 2022
