“Did you know that organic composting plays a crucial role in reducing waste sent to landfills and curbing methane emissions? That’s why the GIZ-ISD programme in Cambodia together with GRET supports the Soutr Nikom District establishing a vermi-composting facility to manage organic waste from a local market. By harnessing the power of worms, this process transforms organic waste into valuable organic fertilizer or “soil conditioner”.
The resulting nutrient-rich soil enhances crop growth sustainably. A local farmer association is therefore an integral part of this initiative. In a recent development, the vermi-composting facility has begun operating, testing the quality of soil moisture derived from vegetable waste. Not only does this initiative reduce landfill waste, but it also provides employment opportunities for local housewives who participate in the operation.”
