Terra Nova Waste to Farming

Using urban solid waste to promote organic farming
2015 SEED Africa Award Lauréat-e Sustainable Agriculture Beira, Mozambique

Terra Nova Waste to Farming receives urban waste from the municipality, which is then sorted and the organic matter is used to produce compost, a natural fertiliser. The compost is sold to small local farms, city households and the municipality to be used for farming and gardening.

The natural fertiliser provided by the initiative enables significantly improved crop yields that consequently generate more revenues for local farmers. Terra Nova supports social rehabilitation by mainly employing underprivileged people.

The enterprise aims to reduce urban solid waste of Beira by 50% - 60% within four years, and creates significant environmental benefits by curtailing the use of chemical fertilisers in local farming.

Terra Nova Waste to Organic Farming provides employment to the underprivileged, improves soil fertility and supports food security, and benefits around 1,000 smallholder farmers and the city of Beira.
  • Creating job opportunities for the urban poor, expecting to employ 100 underprivileged people by 2020.
  • Increasing local farmer’s revenues, predicted to grow 20% to 50% by 2018.
