I’m Michael Quintern, an international vermicomposting and agricultural consultant specialising in sustainable waste management and soil science. With my Ph.D. in Soil Science, I’ve focused on the innovative application of organic waste in agricultural management.
With my Ph.D. in Soil Science, I’ve focused on the innovative application of organic waste in agricultural management. Over the past 17 years, I’ve designed and established multiple large-scale vermicomposting operations, collectively processing nearly 2 million tons of organic waste. That’s over 160,000 tons per year!
This unique approach seamlessly integrates vermicomposting into broader farm management systems, creating a sustainable and regenerative approach to agriculture.
Here are some key highlights of my expertise:
