The presentation will discuss two large-scale process-controlled vermicomposting facilities located in Torreon, MX, and Avon, New York, USA, focusing on their siting, design, construction, and initial operations. These facilities produce high-quality vermicompost suitable for high-value horticultural production. Various design and operational factors impacting vermicompost volume, quality, economic sustainability, and environmental sustainability will be explored. The author has collaborated with researchers to scientifically examine vermicompost products’ potential in plant production and disease suppression, aiming to understand microbial mechanisms, develop usage guidelines, and create shelf-stable liquid vermicompost extracts.
