Abstract: Abundant use of chemical fertilisers disturbs the soil organism, soil texture and physic-chemical properties of soil and affects human health as well as the environment. The biological wastes cause environmental hazards and various adverse effects on human health and their domesticated animals, if their proper management and disposal practices are not available. Organic farming through vermibiotechnology is a better option for the management of wastes by earthworms and the improvement of soil quality. It is one of the interesting aspects, since it contributes to a broad relationship among food, environmental quality and safety of human and animal health. Vermicompost of wastes is easily preparable, biodegradable, most effective, easily transportable, non-hazardous to animals, humans and the environment and eco-friendly, which is a boon for the farmers. So, we can say that the vermibiotechnology is a suitable way for sustainable development and today needs the uses of biofertilisers in crop fields.
