** {{u|Chalst}}, Thanks. That's the point, it's a term that is used a few times here and there, but no scholarly source discusses it in-depth. A few mentions in media doesn't help much, we only have a single newspaper (Times of India) that uses in in their title. It's a neologism that is not notable, "zero waste" is becoming a popular buzzword, so if you google there is [[zero waste production]]/[[zero waste manufacturing]], [[zero waste management]], [[zero waste marketing]], [[zero waste store]], [[zero waste fashion]], [[zero waste life]]/[[zero waste lifestyle]], [[zero waste movement]]/[[zero waste campaign]], [[zero waste product]], and I kid you not, [[zero waste toys]] and [[zero waste candy]] too... <sub style="border:1px solid #228B22;padding:1px;">[[User:Piotrus|Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus]]&#124;[[User talk:Piotrus|<span style="color:#7CFC00;background:#006400;"> reply here</span>]]</sub> 06:29, 1 July 2021 (UTC)

This article is an unreferenced WP:OR (tagged as such since 2007 when this was created). Worse, when I tried to rescue it by adding some citations I came to the conclusion the topic is not notable. (Note: don't confuse this with zero waste, which is). "Zero waste agriculture" is barely mentioned in GScholar/Books. GS has only a single English-language conference paper about this. GBooks open with a SPS "book" copying from Wikipedia, and then the term is used in passing in few other works. I am afraid there is nothing to rescue here, the term is ORish and any use of it outside Wikipedia seems to be the case of lowest denominator citogenesis.

  • Dream Focus's first source is a CNN report on a pioneering zero waste project in Africa. I'd found that we have some pictures of the activities there and so it's good to put this together to improve the article. Teamwork! Andrew🐉(talk) 22:24, 29 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
