Abstract

Background and Purpose
According to the World Food and Grocery Association (WHO), between 34% and 63% of world agricultural production has been rising due to the use of fertilizers. Increasing the excessive use of fertilizers and the negative effects of these fertilizers on the environment and health of living organisms, especially humans, have challenged the countries of the world. Such as an increase in the number of types of cancer. So nowadays, it is necessary to replace chemical fertilizers with compost. It is believed that compost increases the yield of the crop and decreases soil erosion in different climates of Iran.
Materials and Methods
This research was a type of library study that was carried out using the library documentation and using existing documents and records on the basis of valid domestic and foreign websites. It is worth noting that this research also examines the situation of manure and fertilizer use in the world and Iran. The state of production and use of compost manure has examined the challenges facing the country.
