An international project working alongside communities to co-design safe, cost-effective and socially acceptable waste management and sanitation innovations to establish a circular economy has continued its work with communities living in Vulindlela on the outskirts of Pietermaritzburg in spite of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The rural-urban nexus: Establishing a nutrient loop to improve city region food system resilience (RUNRES) project is working with the Vulindlela community to implement sanitation innovations to recover waste in order to strengthen the resilience of smallholder agriculture in the community.
