This presentation explores the latest science, policy, and implementation efforts surrounding compost and carbon sequestration, particularly in California and beyond. While regulations like CA’s SB1383 and WA’s HB1799 focus on waste diversion, they lack mechanisms to ensure high-quality compost use. Key discussion points include updates to climate modeling tools (DNDC, DayCent), USDA-backed on-farm compost trials, and innovative policy frameworks. The presentation includes successful and struggling programs in Sonoma, Santa Clara, and San Diego, WSDA’s compost cost-share initiative, and future policies that could finance composting and carbon sequestration through funding models similar to renewable energy or food industry contributions.
