ABC Grower has introduced an alternative to harmful glyphosate and synthetic herbicides. They make organic fertilisers by using minerals extracted from weeds which they buy from local Benisian farmers. The fertilisers have helped nearly 2,000 farmers remove weeds without harming the soil life and biodiversity.
This case study has been created as part of Footprints Africa's work to build a comprehensive open-source database of circular economy initiatives in Africa. We are doing this in collaboration with the African Circular Economy Network (ACEN), as part of our programme to support the circular economy transition in Africa.
