Why « Zero-Waste » in Agroecology?

Faced with the rising cost of synthetic inputs, soil degradation, and climate change challenges, the project partners (CPF, the WYNA consortium, and GIZ/KCOA) are committed to strengthening the capacities of women and youth agro-entrepreneurs across Africa.

The zero-waste approach promotes circular economy principles and full resource recovery on the farm: every crop residue or livestock waste becomes a key resource to restore soil fertility, lower production costs, and ensure farm self-sufficiency.

3 Key Session Topics:

1. Agroecology and Principles of Sustainable Agriculture:

Theoretical and practical foundations for designing autonomous, climate-resilient farming systems.

2. Integrated Crop–Livestock Systems for a Zero-Waste Farm:

Practical synergies between crop and livestock production to close nutrient loops and eliminate waste.

3. Composting and Organic Waste Management for Soil Fertility:

Practical techniques and field demonstrations on converting organic waste into high-value soil amendments.

Speakers & Hosts (ARMTI, Nigeria):

• Dr. Popoola Oluwatoki Peter: Main Host & Agricultural Management Expert

• Dr. David Emmanuel: Integrated Crop–Livestock Systems Specialist

• Mrs. Oyedele Dorcas: Soil Fertility & Composting Expert

How to Join?

Access is completely free and open to all youth, women, farmers, students, researchers, extension officers, and agroecology practitioners.
