An estimated 53% of municipal solid waste in The Gambia is organic waste. Most solid waste is dumped in informal dumpsites or burned. Only an estimated 3% is composted. This strategy aims to reduce the volume of organic waste that is dumped or burned, while producing a soil enhancer. Agricultural soils in The Gambia have relatively low fertility. In addition, new processing capacity, like fishmeal factories, increase the industrial organic waste flow. However, before seeking to optimize the use of compost, food loss in the food value chains should be minimized (see MA8)."
