Athienou is joining a pilot programme to turn plant cuttings and manure into cost-effective high-quality compost .
The programme, called ‘Nurish’, will run for 54 months – four and a half years – and is fully funded by the European Union.
The Athienou municipality said the compost produced during the programme will improve the health of agricultural soil in semi-arid areas and make it more fertile and resilient .
