This VORS 2021 session introduces On-Farm Composting Project of the Farm to Plate Food Cycle Coalition and the resulting On-Farm Composting Booklet. The On-Farm Composting Booklet outlines regulations around composting, lays out how communities can connect to close the nutrient loop, and provides a matrix to help readers understand the regulatory thresholds aligned with compost volumes and methods of composting available. Three case studies in Vermont are highlighted to show different adaptations of closing the nutrient loop at a community scale.
