What a waste of energy.

Burying all of the goodness that kitchen scraps and organic material store, while farmers struggle to replace nutrients in their soil with fertilisers, is a complete waste.

Not only is it a waste, but organic matter - potato peelings, left-overs, apple cores, grass clippings etc - creates methane gas when it decomposes while buried in rubbish tips, otherwise known as landfill.

The City to Soil project uses age-old techniques of composting to create the world's best fertiliser for farmers' fields and solving the problem of organic waste in landfill.
