Miguel Callisaya is leading a project to turn illegal coca crops...into organic fertilizer.
The small sacks proudly proclaim : "The Best Fertilizer in the World".
In the Yungas region, Callisaya mixes the coca with tree leaves, vegetable scraps and chicken manure...to produce some 23 tons of compost each month.
"We are reducing what goes to drug traffickers, " he claims.
