The Municipio De San Lorenzo was awarded a $453,369 Cooperative Agreement under the U.S. Department of Agriculture's (USDA) Urban Agriculture and Innovative Production (UAIP) Federal Grant Program (CFDA 10.935). The award, with a project period from March 1, 2025 to February 28, 2027, will fund a comprehensive composting and recycling initiative in San Lorenzo, Puerto Rico. The project aims to address critical challenges in environmental sustainability, food security, and waste management within the community. Key products and services to be delivered include: 1) Creating a community-wide composting program that will divert 1,000,000 pounds of organic waste from landfills, 2) Providing nutrient-rich compost to local farmers to improve soil health and promote sustainable agriculture, and 3) Implementing educational workshops and materials to teach K-12 students and community members about waste management and composting. By engaging the entire San Lorenzo community, the initiative seeks to increase environmental knowledge, inspire action, and improve overall sustainability.
