In this video podcast, Prof. Shyama V. Ramani, Founder of Friend in Need India Trust, sits down with Oisin Hills, Jack McKinlay, and Mark McKenna — Team Soil from Ireland — to learn about their journey with Engineers Without Borders and the innovation behind SoilCycle.
The conversation takes us from how the team came together and developed their composting drum concept to the practical challenges of designing a simple, affordable system for transforming human waste from ecosan toilets into a valuable resource. As the team prepares for their visit to Kameswaram village in Tamil Nadu this September, Prof. Ramani explores how an idea born in Ireland might find its feet — and its impact — in rural India.
