Soil-to-Soil Biodegradable Waste Management Project, Türkiye
Soil-to-Soil Biodegradable Waste Management Project – We Make Life Better Environment and Climate Association (“Yaşamı İyileştiriyoruz Çevre ve İklim Derneği”), collects biodegradable waste food, consisting of vegetables and fruits, from the marketplaces (bazaars) and transforms them into compost for soil regeneration in agriculture.
Disadvantaged women are included in the project by working in the community kitchens/food banks where the usable food left in the marketplace is cooked and distributed.
The Association has established partnerships with 52 municipalities and several academics in Türkiye. The government authorities do not provide finances but can/do support in another way, such as designating lands that can be used as compost areas and providing the necessary equipment for compost production and distribution.
