Due to poor refuse collection in Chitungwiza which has encouraged improper disposal of diaper waste, people resorted to the dumping of used disposable diapers at various dumping sites that have sprouted in most residential areas in the urban areas of Zimbabwe. Diaper wastes currently not properly managed in a manner which adds value to the food chain while they contain significant amounts of nutrients coupled with their water holding capacity which is not being utilised to address challenges induced by climate change in the agricultural sector pertaining food security and climate resilience in urban agriculture hence the need to undertake this study. An experiment to compare growth of vegetables under diaper waste treatment and a control without diapers was conducted. Vegetable growth rate and soil moisture loss were monitored over 10 weeks.
