Project details

Describe your product and your key goals

<aside> <img src="/icons/apple_blue.svg" alt="/icons/apple_blue.svg" width="40px" /> Describe your product We aim to develop an Eco-fertilizer utilizing the N-P content in shrimp farm waste, repurposing the waste for agricultural use.

Our proposed innovation aims to address these critical environmental and economic challenges by converting shrimp farm sludge into a nutrient-rich agricultural fertilizer. The initiative revolves around the development and implementation of a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) to process the waste into a valuable commodity for agricultural use, particularly targeting high-value crops such as chili peppers. This method not only aims to reduce the environmental footprint of shrimp farming but also enhances local agricultural practices by providing an economical and effective alternative to chemical fertilizers

Successfully deliver the pilot project on eco-fertilizer production, through:

1. Eco-fertilizer prototype development and testing, utilizing the N-P content at shrimp farm waste, repurposing the waste for agricultural use and
2. Provide training aimed at educating at least 100 local community members on converting shrimp waste into eco-fertilizer and encourage the use of this eco-fertilizer for local agriculture. </aside>
