  • In the Gambia, like in most other parts of Africa, the cost of fertiliser is high.
    The government is able to provide a small subsidy, but the costs can be prohibitive for small scale farmers.
    It means that Gambians are coming up with innovative solutions, one such collective is based in Bakau, a town west of Gambia’s capital city of Banjul.
    The Bakau women famers are turning organic waste into fertiliser, providing cheaper alternatives while cleaning the environment.

    What this farmer in the Gambia is doing is also being done by municipalities here in the U.S., collecting food waste (including pizza boxes) and then composting it. In my area, it is sold in bags or by truckload to gardeners as a rich, natural, healthy addition to soil. No chemicals, insects that are beneficial love it, vegetables thrive in it. Our planet thanks you when you do this too. Its so easy though it does take a bit of time to allow veg matter, leaves, nut shells, small sticks, and/or straw to breakdown into a healthy compost.

      I'm sure they were already doing it. It's just compost. The issue might be scale and how efficiently they gather the trash/organic waste.
