“If every school, correctional facility, and university had composting systems on-site, we wouldn’t need a 50-acre site to work on food waste diversion. Smaller sites are faster to build and lower in cost, and the result would go back to local soils." foodtank.com/news/2019/07/al…

Individual initiatives and community systems have the potential to solve a lot of issues in food systems. Composting is no exception.
