Turning Fennel Waste into New Value
Exploring circular solutions for agricultural side streams through composting, biochar, and resource
Published Aug 27, 2026
What if agricultural waste could become a valuable resource instead?
A new study explores how fennel residues can be transformed into compost, compost tea, biochar, and energy, using life cycle assessment to compare different circular solutions. The results show the potential of waste valorization to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, lower reliance on external inputs, and create new value from agricultural side streams.
The research highlights how choosing the right recovery pathway can help move food production from a linear waste model toward more circular and resource-efficient systems.
