Scenario Description
Vermicomposting is the process of using worms (“vermi” is Latin for “worm”) to process organic food waste into nutrient-rich soil.
The mission of this scenario is to reduce the production and improve the management of solid waste in organic agricultural compounds in order to conserve resources, protect public health and safety and the environment as well as enriching the soil.

Curriculum AreaEvaluation of training:
Each participant will be assisted during the various steps. The final product (vermicompost) of each participant will be
evaluated according to specific attributes (e.g. color, texture). The results will be compared and discussed in group.
