The growing push by county governments to transform agricultural waste into valuable economic resources has been hailed as a major step towards strengthening Kenya's agricultural sector, creating jobs and protecting the environment.
A recent partnership between the counties of Meru, Embu and Tharaka Nithi has brought renewed attention to the untapped potential of agricultural waste.
The three counties have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to jointly establish a regional waste recycling plant that will process organic agricultural waste into useful products such as fertiliser, clean energy and other value-added products.
