17 Challenges in scale-up Structured waste disposal is commonly not practised. This results in contaminated FS with varied characteristics. Negligence and low capacity of authority responsible for O&M Local capacity and funding Varied experiences, taboos and awareness on proper FS reuse by farmers from very positive to outright rejection Established practices are highly accepted Additional cost for farmers Very low awareness for production methods on consumer level Work at the FSTP is not very attractive for educated labourers
