Project Description
Model 3 is designed to support local green economy in Kosovo by valorising composting through worm-farming.
Within this model a worm-farmer was supported for business expansion of commercial vermicomposting with equipment, marketing, training, quality control and
the environmental impact assessment.
The farmer buys the organic waste (plant and animal) from the surrounding villages and uses it as a feeding material for the worms. After consuming it the worms produce the casting, known as vermicompost, which is a high content of both micro and macro nutrients and other many beneficial to soil qualities product. This product could easily replace the mineral fertilisers which contribute to soil degradation and environment pollution.
This pilot project is supported by the German Government through Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH and implemented by Fondacioni Jeshil in partnership with the Municipality of Lipjan and n.p.t. “Parajsa”.
