Vermicomposting is an effective technology for managing organic waste, transforming waste into nutrient-rich fertilizers while enhancing soil fertility and promoting sustainable agriculture. This study was carried out following the PRISMA 2020 guidelines, analyzing improvements in nutrient compositions, types of earthworm species, influence of organic waste, and the agronomic advantages
of applying vermicompost. Intensive searches were conducted in Google Scholar and Science Direct for the articles published from 2010 to 2024. The inclusion criteria focused on articles comparing vermicomposting with traditional composting, analyzing nutrient profiles, effectiveness of earthworms, and the impact of
different organic wastes. A total of 60 articles were selected according to the relevance, methodological rigor and quality of data. The application of vermicompost outperformed traditional composting, demonstrating a significant increase in nutrient composition. Eisenia fetida earthworms were the most studied earthworm species, valued for their high environmental tolerance, faster biomass production, and effective decomposition of organic matter. Furthermore, vermicomposting technology decreased the composition of pathogens, stabilized soil pH, and facilitated a sustainable environment by reducing greenhouse gas
emissions and heavy metal contamination. This study demonstrates the agronomic, environmental, and nutritional benefits of vermicomposting technology over traditional composting, reinforcing its potential as a sustainable solution for the
management of organic waste. Future studies should focus on maximizing vermicomposting technology for different types of organic waste and scaling up its application in agricultural systems to facilitate global food security and soil health.
