KOTA KINABALU: For six months, 30 Sabah farmers will have earthworms as their "best friends" while they learn how to turn agricultural waste into high-quality bio-based fertiliser using vermicomposting techniques.

These participants will be trained under the Kembara Komuniti Programme “Kecilkan Jejak, Besarkan Impak” (Reduce Footprint, Increase Impact).
