Our priority issue is to establish affordable, accessible, and scalable community-level composting knowledge and practices - supported by policies, collaboration, and infrastructures - to transform farm and food waste into compost to grow nutritious food, mitigate climate change, and advance social justice in the San Joaquin Valley (SJV) of California.

​

Our overall goal is to develop and pilot a Compost Climate Action Plan in the SJV that achieves greenhouse gas reduction, fosters adaptive agroecosystems, and is centered on social justice. We aim to promote innovative research and community-centered education, programming, and recommendations that maximize benefits and access to community-scale composting.
