Abstract:
Today, the material resources available to supply soil organic matter cannot

organic carbon content is less than one percent and in considerable part of the soils
is less than 0.50 percent. While critical point of soil organic carbon for the stability
of soil structure is two percent. Rural waste management and convert them into
vermicompost is affordable way to provide organic material. In this regard, in order
to the supply of organic matter for agricultural soils, vermicompost production in
Fars province is expanding. This study was conducted to investigate the impacts of

Rural women said that use of vermicompost in the farming also increases soil productivity. The findings showed that the most important health impacts of vermicompost production are organic production and reduce diseases, especially cancers. Rural women believed that produce vermicompost from organic waste is one of the important ways to reduce environmental pollution. The practical suggestions are provided for improving the production of vermicompost.
