Nutrient recycling in urban and peri-urban areas . Recycling of nutrients from organic waste in cities in the form of compost and wastewater to crops in urban and peri-urban areas is a very important issue for the environment and livelihoods in big cities. We are collaborating with many national partners to set up a regional consortium for research and capacity building. IWMI-Southeast Asia is a regional focal point for information about urban agriculture. Comes under IWMI Theme 2 - Sustainable smallholder land and water management, and 5 Water, health, and environment.
Legislation is a crucial determinant for the actual management of water and land resources.
This is a key factor in determining investments and the efficiency of resource use. Comes under IWMI Theme 4 - Water resources institutions and policies . West Africa 1. Recycling of nutrients from municipal waste in the form of compost and wastewater to crops in the peri-urban areas of West Africa is also an important issue, with technical, economic, and sociological dimensions. Field research with many collaborators is being carried out in Ghana.
