Composting Programs

from class:

AP Human Geography

Definition

Composting programs are initiatives implemented by cities or communities to encourage the decomposition of organic waste (such as food scraps, yard trimmings) in a controlled manner. This natural process produces compost, a nutrient-rich soil amendment that can be used for gardening, landscaping, and agriculture.
