- 2. Key messages 1. Difficulties surrounding urine use preventing its use as a liquid fertilizer. 2. When accepted it increases yields and enhances livelihood resilience. 3. Cases show that Productive Sanitation (ProSan) improves hygiene and prevents disease spread.
- 3. Evidence of impact 1. Yield using urine is 600 kg/ha compared to 425 kg/ha on irrigated crops (sample 1100 farmers in Niger). 2. 580million Euro worth of fertilizer equivalents go down the drain every year in the Philippines
- 4. Going to scale • Establish a position of liquid fertilizer (urine) in the agriculture value chain • Increase acceptance of use of liquid fertilizer through participative teaching. • Take scaling up must be taken beyond the guidelines
