Smiley Garbage

Here's our new video introducing our Smiley Garbage program. The program is essentially a small-scale food waste recycling system, which collects wet garbage from urban communities twice a week, converts it into organic compost, which is then used in our farmers' fields to fertilize their rice and vegetable crops. Through the network-creating efforts of SFS - farmers, consumers and the local public health office have really come together - making the program a big success. By diverting perfectly good compost-able material from winding up in the Surin landfill (which is already a serious public health issue) and lowering the input costs of SFS farmers, we are working to create a closed-cycle process in which the environment and communities (urban and rural) benefit.
