The Community That Transforms Food Scraps Together, Stays Together
At a community garden in South Los Angeles, we profile the work of LA Compost. It’s an organization dedicated to collecting food scraps from across the city so that it can be turned into nutrient-rich soil. LA Compost’s collection kiosks have become a fixture at local farmers markets, where people can drop off their kitchen waste, from banana peels to browning heads of lettuce.
