Compost 4 Kids 

Who are we?

Compost4Kids is an educational web application targeted for youth and local policy makers to promote and integrate into their K-12 curriculum. We aim to partner with the Los Angeles Unified School District to help pipeline compost education to kids.

What is composting?

According to NRDC, “Composting is the natural process of recycling organic matter, such as leaves and food scraps, into a valuable fertilizer that can enrich soil and plants.”

Why is composting important?

According to QWER Hacks, “Compost can not only substantially help combat climate change but it can also support the growth of local food in personal and community gardens.”

How can composting tackle the issue of food insecurity?

According to EcoRich, “Compost can reduce the cost of food production and produce higher, more nutrition-rich yields. This will result in a more resilient food system that will be able to end food insecurity and sustain generations to come.”
