This session will unveil an AI-powered, solar-driven compost bin designed to help households and communities manage organic waste efficiently while promoting sustainability. Following a survey that revealed that 80% of African agricultural/ non agric households don’t compost yet cannot afford to buy fertiliser, this innovation was created by Zambian innovator Patricia Longwani, the smart bin uses sensors and IoT to monitor temperature and moisture, sending live alerts and visual indicators for optimal composting. The project demonstrates how digital innovation and localized AI solutions can empower everyday climate action through accessible technology.
