Presenting Season 4 of the Just for a Change podcast powered by the Bertha Centre for Social Innovation and Entrepreneurship which explores the theme “The Power of Connections”. The pursuit of social justice requires the effort of many, and in the work that the Bertha Centre does we have seen powerful intersections driving society towards positive change. In this new season, discussions with social entrepreneurs, innovators, thought leaders and activists spotlight the unexpected connections, surprising overlaps, and unusual alignments in the work being done locally and globally to uplift and empower our society.

S4, Ep.2 What does peecycling have to do with agriculture?
Did you know that human waste can be used as fertiliser for farming? That’s right. Your body waste consists of nutrients that can help grow food. Urine contains nitrogen, potassium and phosphorus – all found in fertilisers. How we get rid of human waste today can be harmful to the environment. It eventually makes its way to the ocean and threatens ecosystems. But what if there was a way to recycle urine? ‘Peecycling’, if you will. A system of waterless toilets or dry sanitation is being developed to collect human waste separately to effectively use in growing plants locally and abroad. Not only is all this possible, but it’s also a way to empower communities. Liquid Gold Africa is one such company that is empowering rural communities in KwaZulu Natal. Hear more in this episode from Liquid Gold Africa founder, Orion Herman, as well as from others doing this work, among them the University of Cape Town's Dr Caitlin Courtney. The Bertha Centre is the first specialised centre in Africa dedicated to advancing social innovation and entrepreneurship and focuses on researching, educating, convening, catalysing and advocating for social, environmental and economic justice.
