Green Ethiopia is transforming urban organic waste into affordable, microbe-enriched fertiliser. Co-designed with local smallholder farmers, the initiative works to restore soil health, boost yields, and reduce water use. By centring farmer voices, especially those of women, Green Ethiopia fosters inclusive innovation while creating 150 green jobs in composting and waste collection. With tailored formulas and a scalable franchise model, Green Ethiopia is cultivating a community-led, climate-resilient movement from the ground up.
