Recycling realities in African cities; towards safe wastewater use in agriculture

Video produced by the International Water Management Institute (IWMI) (2006).

 In Sub-Saharan Africa, where sanitation infrastructure does not keep pace with city growth, the use of polluted water for urban and peri-urban agriculture (UPA) is a common reality. While UPA puts consumers at risk, it also plays an important role in food supply and job creation. The question is how to preserve the benefits while minimising the risks? This short video clip (3 min 30 sec) gives voice to the people most closely involved, to articulate their own solutions to the challenges they face.
