OPPORTUNITIES IN ENTERPRISE BASED COMMUNITY COMPOSTING
This is a 3 hour workshop designed for those interested in earning an income while growing soil for their local community. You will learn how to start and manage a composting program for a community garden, school, residential or office campus.
We will cover the boundaries established by state and local laws, how to manage a large stream of scraps efficiently and how to operate the program so it generates income for those involved. Food2Soil is a growing network of soil-growers supported by a common infrastructure, know-how and toolkit so they can grow soil successfully for their communities.
Discounts: This workshop is free for those who complete the 8 week community composting internship program.
