OCAMM-WRM MissionsOCAMM (Ohio Compost and Manure Management): The purpose of OCAMM is to research, develop and communicate sustainable strategies for the management of animal manure and nutrient inputs on Ohio farms. To achieve this purpose, strategies such as composting, land application, facility design, and feed management will be studied for their ability to recycle nutrients, reduce the need for chemical fertilizer and pesticide inputs, improve soil fertility, reduce odor emissions, and improve environmental stewardship. OCAMM program participants include livestock producers, livestock system consultants, equipment manufacturers, trade associations, compost users, and public agencies as well as faculty and staff at OSU. WRM (Waste Resource Management): To stimulate economic development and protect environmental integrity by working with agriculture, industry and communities to address problematic waste, by-product and recycling issues through innovative and coordinated efforts of The Ohio Agricultural Research and Development Center and Ohio State University Extension partnership, as units of The Ohio State University College of Food, Agricultural and Environmental Sciences. |
