Compost producing healthy soils on a Tennessee farm

Why it matters

Food scraps in a landfill aren't just trash. They're a problem.

When food waste is buried in a landfill, it can't break down properly. Instead, it produces methane, a greenhouse gas roughly 80 times more potent than carbon dioxide over a 20-year span.

When you compost instead, the same scraps become a closed loop: nutrient-rich soil that Tennessee farmers and community gardens use to grow the next round of food.
