In this episode, we dive into the history of composting and ask ourselves: what exactly is compost? Who uses it, why, and how do you do it right – on both a small and large scale?
In this episode, we dig – literally and figuratively – into the soil. We discover how compost is simultaneously a soil improver, fertilizer, cycle, and climate solution.
At the Dobbelhoeve organic farm, farmers are collaborating with Natuurpunt through the Interreg project CLOSECYCLE to compost grass clippings from nature reserves and apply them to their fields. Farmer Piet and Natuurpunt employee Wim talk about their collaboration.
Farm composting helps close local cycles, is a waste management method, and recycles residual flows, promotes healthy soil, and reduces the need for chemical fertilizers. Discover how Yves and Iris are getting started with composting on their farm in Mechelen (Dutch Limburg).
In this brochure we focus on the age-old practice of composting and seek an answer to the question: how can a practice like composting contribute to soil health and a climate-resilient future?
