#DidYouKnow that #biofertilizers made from organic rural & urban waste can enhance #soilfertility while reducing #pollution? Watch video: Our @BioInnovate Africa supported project is developing a biofertilizer enriched with beneficial microorganisms—rhizobia & mycorrhizae that promote plant growth.
