Summary

<p><span lang="EN-US">Environmental and agricultural systems are under constant threat from the ever-increasing amounts of eco-agricultural waste, which is the primary focus of this review. By utilizing scientific and environmentally friendly techniques to reuse and recycle organic waste, proper management can help reduce waste. This analysis assessed the potential of earthworm species in agriculture and the role of vermicompost in the long-term recycling of crop nutrients, specifically nitrogen (N) recovery, which is at 76%. Sustainable organic farming relies on a scientific understanding of organic material management and nitrogen use efficiency through the application of vermicompost. The emphasis is on reusing and recovering nutrients from vermicompost at carbon-to-nitrogen
