Benefits also include reduction in water pollution (improving aquatic life) and a huge reduction in greenhouse gas emissions.
Activities
In partnership with the local community, the program will build a biogas plant feeding on abattoir waste to create a cheap, clean source of energy and organic fertilizer for 15 years.
