LA Compost connects the people of Los Angeles to the soil and each other. Soil is fundamental to all life on Earth and is the basis of our food system and healthy surrounding environments. Compost encompasses the full story of food—from soil and seed, to food, to renewal—returning what’s inedible to the earth in a complete cycle. LA Compost values the importance of what is rejected and discarded, both in the creation of nutrient-rich soils and in the creation of thriving human communities where we all have a place.
