On January 23rd 2024, Mrs. Dina Alawneh, President of IWC of Petra, along with Mrs. Nadine Al-Muasher, Vice President, Mrs. Lina Al-Husseini, Secretary, and Mrs. Mai Al-Masri, visited The National Center for Agricultural Research, where they were welcomed by Dr. Nizar Haddad, the Director General of the center. During the visit, the IWC of Petra extended support to the “Zero West Garden” project, an initiative within the agricultural innovation and entrepreneurship incubator. This project involves cultivating specific earthworms that consume organic waste, resulting in the production of vermicompost, a high-quality organic fertilizer.

Mrs. Alawneh highlighted that this backing aims to implement and transfer the project’s outcomes to three leading farms to optimize its advantages and promote the use of organic fertilizers.
