🌱 Promoting Sustainable Agriculture through Vermicompost 🌱

As part of the ECCCP-Drought Project, implemented by Proyas Manobik Unnayan Society (PMUS) with support from PKSF and Green Climate Fund (GCF), earthworms were distributed among selected CCAG beneficiaries in Moharajpur, Ranihati, and Jhilim Unions of Chapainawabganj Sadar Upazila.

🪱 The initiative aims to support beneficiaries in producing Vermicompost—an organic and environmentally friendly fertilizer using locally available organic materials. Vermicompost can improve soil health, enhance soil fertility, and contribute to more sustainable and climate-resilient agricultural practices.
