Litter-dwelling species are small, easily cultivated, and of enormous use in processing organic materials; they simultaneously produce a potential horticultural product (worm-worked material, or vermicompost) and also produce biomass as more earthworms. The latter are themselves a potential product for protein production (animal or human feed). Soil-dwelling earthworms require more careful culture, but their use in soil improvement schemes, enhancing selected agricultural systems, and ecotoxicological monitoring is now recognized and is becoming more widely established. Laboratory-based culture has been upscaled, and future practice will undoubtedly have a direct role in key areas of world food production and soil rehabilitation. Collectively, these seemingly insignificant animals can make a significant contribution to achieving sustainable human development.}, booktitle={Mass Production of Beneficial Organisms}, publisher={Elsevier}, author={Lowe, Christopher N. and Butt, Kevin R. and Sherman, Rhonda L.}, year={2014}, pages={683–709} }

 @article{sherman_2007, title={Chain management issues and good housekeeping procedures to minimise food processing waste}, ISSN={["2042-8049"]}, DOI={10.1533/9781845692520.2.39}, abstractNote={Publisher Summary This chapter explains that minimizing the volume of pre- and post-production organic and nonorganic waste is vital to companies in the food processing supply chain. Essential business objectives for minimizing solid waste throughout the supply chain are to minimize inputs and reduce the potential for waste, and to contemplate re-engineering or creating co-products to add value. Waste minimization is an efficient and up-front solution to waste management that can significantly alter the way a business thinks about and treats waste. Although recycling is the solution that is usually embraced by those concerned about waste, waste minimization is a superior approach because it aims to eliminate or reduce the quantity or toxicity of manufacturing wastes in addition to waste generated by products at the end of their useful life. The food supply chain is a network of companies that handle food, from the farmer to the retailer. Supply-chain management is a relatively new concept that first appeared in the 1980s in the Japanese motor industry. A crucial factor in supply-chain waste reduction programs is the partnership based on trust between each of the participating members. The chapter also explains that housekeeping is a general term used to describe how a facility's daily activities are carried out. Housekeeping measures include storage, inventory control, cleaning, maintenance, and record keeping. Therefore, good housekeeping is crucial for ensuring that a company is run efficiently. It is also the first and most essential step to minimizing waste and saving resources. Good housekeeping procedures can be applied to all activities in food processing facilities, including purchasing, materials accounting, inventory control, receiving, delivery, storage, proper labeling, optimizing operations and processes, preventive maintenance, and recovery/reuse/recycling.}, number={141}, journal={HANDBOOK OF WASTE MANAGEMENT AND CO-PRODUCT RECOVERY IN FOOD PROCESSING, VOLUME 1}, author={Sherman, R.}, year={2007}, pages={39–58} }

The effect of nitrogen fertilizer was controlled by supplementing half the plots with inorganic nitrogen to balance the nitrogen fertilizer recommendations for turnips. Vermicompost addition increased fresh weight of fruit and foliage by a factor of two to five and increased dry weight by a factor of three with no increase in nitrogen but higher phosphorus in runoff.
