Ngadirejo residents have been converting their organic waste into compost and are selling this to inorganic waste to private companies. They are also planting vegetables in their backyards and on unused land as part of the community’s urban farming activity and climate change adaptation and mitigation measures.

JAKARTA, Apr 7 2021 (IPS) - Residents of Ngadirejo village in Sukaharjo regency, Central Java province, had often found themselves helpless when their wells dried up or water flooded through their homes. But thanks to a national campaign called
Program Kampung Iklim, known by its acronym
ProKlim, they now have solutions to this flooding that generally occurs because of a lack of adequate water catchments.
