Forkuor, GeraldDrechsel, PayCofie, Olufunke O.[A GIS-based approach for integrating agriculture into urban and peri-urban planning]A GIS-based approach for integrating agriculture into urban and peri-urban planning

This paper presents the potentials and performance of combined treatment of faecal sludge (FS) and municipal solid waste (SW) through co-composting. The objectives were to investigate the appropriate SW type, SW/FS mixing ratio and the effect of turning frequency on compost maturity and quality. ...


Cofie, Olufunke O.Kone, D.Rothenberger, S.Moser, D.Zubruegg, C.[Co-composting of faecal sludge and organic solid waste for agriculture: process dynamics]Co-composting of faecal sludge and organic solid waste for agriculture: process dynamics

This study investigates helminth eggs removal and inactivation efficiency in a treatment process combining faecal sludge (FS) dewatering and subsequent co-composting with organic solid waste as a function of windrow turning frequency. Fresh public toilet sludge and septage mixed at a 1:2 ratio we...


Kone, D.Cofie, Olufunke O.Zurbrugg, C.Gallizzi, K.Moser, D.Drescher, S.Strauss, M.[Helminth eggs inactivation efficiency by faecal sludge dewatering and co-composting in tropical climates]Helminth eggs inactivation efficiency by faecal sludge dewatering and co-composting in tropical climates
Cofie, Olufunke O.Kranjac-Berisavljevic, GordanaDrechsel, Pay[The use of human waste for peri-urban agriculture in Northern Ghana]The use of human waste for peri-urban agriculture in Northern Ghana

Crop production in most developing countries is faced with a dearth of resources for optimum production of which fertilizer is one. The use of human urine as well as its mixture with compost are potential solutions to this problem. Thus, this report investigated the influence of human urine and i...


Adeoluwa, O.O.Cofie, Olufunke O.[Urine as an alternative fertilizer in agriculture: effects in amaranths (Amaranthus caudatus) production]Urine as an alternative fertilizer in agriculture: effects in amaranths (Amaranthus caudatus) production

Fecal sludge (FS) contains significant amounts of plant nutrients and organic matter although it also contains pathogens. Therefore, FS can be used as fertilizer after proper sanitization. This study was designed to test dried fecal sludge (DFS)-based pellet fertilizers on maize cultivation. The ...


Pradhan, Surendra K.Nikiema, JosianeCofie, Olufunke O.Olufunke, O.Drechsel, Pay[Fecal sludge-derived pellet fertilizer in maize cultivation]Fecal sludge-derived pellet fertilizer in maize cultivation

This paper describes a study that was aimed at optimizing the pelletization of fecal sludge-based fertilizers for agricultural use. The process developed is easy to implement and increases the marketability of the products while also addressing a serious health and environmental challenge. The st...


Nikiema, JosianeCofie, Olufunke O.Impraim, RobertAdamtey, Noah[Processing of fecal sludge to fertilizer pellets using a low-cost technology in Ghana]Processing of fecal sludge to fertilizer pellets using a low-cost technology in Ghana

Market studies in Ghana have revealed a potential for composted or cocomposted fecal matter as nutrient source inputs for agricultural production. To increase the marketability of such products, high nutrient value and easier handling/transporting options are among the significant factors which d...


Nikiema, JosianeCofie, Olufunke O.Asante-Bekoe, BarbaraOtoo, MiriamAdamtey, Noah[Potential of locally available products for use as binders in producing fecal compost pellets in Ghana]Potential of locally available products for use as binders in producing fecal compost pellets in Ghana
