Gov Support for Community Composting Part 4: A Menu of Options – Zoning, Grants, and Contracts
Channel: Institute for Local Self-Reliance
Date: 16/04/2024

Part 4 of the Institute for Local Self-Reliance's Government Support for Community Composting webinar series covered menu of options on how urban, rural, and suburban governments are supporting on-farm and community composting. San Diego County has changed its zoning to facilitate decentralized composting sites. Many jurisdictions in the San Diego region have contracted with the Solana Center for Environmental Innovation, resulting in the spread of on-farm and other local composting. Across the country in rural Vermont, the Central Vermont Solid Waste Management District has seeded Neighborhood Compost Pods in collaboration with a local town and local farmer. And in an urban city, under contract with the City of Albany, an urban ecojustice and ecological literacy nonprofit is composting food scraps to regenerate urban soils.

This live webinar took place on October 27th, 2022
