Vertical and Micro Gardening manufactures and distributes vertical farms, seedlings, earthworms, and planting soil, and offers agricultural extension services. Their innovation, a wooden farm in a box is designed to valorise domestic waste in urban areas through composting. VMG aims to contribute to climate-smart agriculture and to intensify agricultural production within marginalised communities with limited land at their disposal.

This case study has been created as part of Footprints Africa's work to build a comprehensive open-source database of circular economy initiatives in Africa. We are doing this in collaboration with the African Circular Economy Network (ACEN), as part of our programme to support the circular economy transition in Africa.
