Description
Composting reduces food waste through aerobic decomposition, producing nutrient-rich humus and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
Technical
Composting involves a 4-stage process: collection, decomposition, curing, and carbon-to-nitrogen ratio management, with temperature ranges from 130°F to 140°F (54°C to 60°C) during decomposition. It can be done using 'hot' or 'cold' methods, with various microorganisms, and can reduce water pollution by 50-70%.
