Good water quality and soil health are fundamentally important to planetary (human and environmental) health, which poor waste management practises can jeopardize. Waste monitoring and management strategies can impact and influence water quality and soil health. The research in this dissertation examines these in specific contexts, with a specific focus on community needs. In so doing, it aims to contribute to achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) related to zero hunger, clean water and sanitation, responsible consumption and production, and life on land. This thesis consists of three research chapters. Chapter 2 investigates fecal contamination of stored water supplies in rural Kenyan households, identifying ruminant feces as a significant source and elucidating transmission pathways. Chapter 3 explores the production of soil amendment biochar from cacao husks in Malaysia, optimizing reactor designs and characterizing biochar properties. Chapter 4 examines the impact of biochar on soil and cacao sapling growth, which demonstrated mixed results but revealed potential benefits and areas for improvement. The findings in this dissertation underscore the importance of community-centered approaches and highlight the complexity of ensuring that waste management ultimately does remediate and ameliorate water quality and soil health. Recommendations for future research include exploring the conceptual models underpinning the research to ensure that each link of the causal chain is rigorously examined such that risks are adequately quantified, processed improved, or expenditure and effort towards interventions justified. Ultimately, the dissertation emphasizes the value of holistic, locally informed solutions to address environmental degradation and promote sustainable development. While the research presents promising avenues for enhancing water and soil quality, it underscores the need for careful consideration of unintended consequences and community perspectives in advancing sustainable development goals.
