- +Our initiative focuses on transforming agricultural and livestock waste into high-quality organic manure while promoting sustainable horticulture production in Northern Malawi. We are addressing challenges of declining soil fertility, high fertilizer costs, low agricultural productivity, and post-harvest losses that affect smallholder farmers.
- +By collecting and processing animal manure and organic waste, we produce environmentally friendly soil amendments that improve crop yields, soil health, and water retention.</div></dd>

- +This debate will explore how communities can turn agricultural waste into valuable resources, improve soil health, reduce post-harvest losses, create jobs for young people, and build climate-resilient food systems.
- +Key discussion questions:
- +How can agricultural waste be converted into economic opportunities?
- +What role should young people play in regenerative agriculture?
- +How can communities reduce dependence on imported fertilizers?
- +What are the most effective strategies for reducing post-harvest losses?
- +How can local knowledge and innovation strengthen food security?
- +What partnerships are needed to scale successful community-led initiatives?
- +Online Activity: Waste to Wealth Challenge -Participants share examples from their communities of how waste materials are being transformed into useful products, services, or income-generating activities. Members can post photos, stories, lessons learned, and ideas for collaboration, creating a knowledge-sharing network across Africa and the Mediterranean.
- +This activity encourages peer learning, innovation, and the development of practical solutions for sustainable community development.</div></dd>
