According to the New Times on August 26th, coffee red pulp, also known as coffee cherry peel, is the fleshy outer part of coffee fruit that is removed during processing. It has now been converted into nutrient rich organic fertilizers and granules to replace charcoal and firewood. As part of the circular food system, this measure improves soil health while reducing agricultural waste. This innovation provides an environmentally friendly approach for the recycling and reuse of coffee processing by-products. The circular food system is a mode of food production and consumption aimed at minimizing waste, improving resource utilization efficiency, and promoting the regeneration of natural systems. The circular food system follows the principles of reduction, reuse, recycling, and regeneration. Currently, coffee farmers are meeting some international market standards by using organic fertilizers. Diojen Kimeny, a farmer and livestock keeper in the Niagatare region, said that his company owns a 10 hectare banana plantation with coffee planted in between. In the past, they faced many difficulties in fertilization.
