Increasing food producation for smallholder farmers Testing productive sanitation systems in Aguié, Niger Stravato, L., Dagerskog, L., Kvarnström, E. (2010)
A “yellow revolution” is currently taking place in Aguié Province, Southern Niger. Participative tests in eight villages demonstrate the effects of using urine as a fertiliser to increase crops. As a consequence of positive results in regard to different vegetables, the demand is high for toilets and urinals that make the collection of the “new fertiliser” possible. Further participative tests are now being carried out on sorghum and millet.
