Opérations déjà accomplies/en cours In Latin America, food wasted by consumers is composted as fertilizer for local farms. Maria Rodriguez, an entrepreneur in Guatemala City, has helped women living near city dumps using earthworms to compost waste and sell it as fertilizer under her ByoEarth initiative. On her own farm, she uses pulp from coffee beans as feedstock for worms. Vermicomposting transforms degradable waste that otherwise goes to landfills. With a production plant that contains an estimated population of more than 90 million Californian red worms, ByoEarth plans to expand into Central America over the coming year and start exporting worms to Nicaragua, Costa Rica and El Salvador
