This presentation highlights how rural farms can turn food waste into high-quality compost, improving soil health, reducing synthetic fertilizer use, and supporting local food systems. Insights come from a USDA-funded project with 13 farms in Vermont, New Hampshire, and New York, offering technical assistance, training, and a practical on-farm composting toolkit. The approach promotes community engagement, environmental stewardship, and scalable solutions for rural composting infrastructure.
