Adding compost to soil helps retain moisture, reducing the need for irrigation and improving drought resistance. By increasing the soil’s ability to absorb and hold water, compost supports smarter water use, reduces runoff, and builds more resilient landscapes.
It’s a simple solution with a powerful impact, from conserving water to strengthening the health of our soils and communities.

Composting helps reduce methane emissions by keeping organic waste out of landfills. It builds healthy soils, creates jobs and engages communities. Composting is an everyday action that supports a healthier planet.

Compost is created by recycling organic materials like food scraps and yard waste into a nutrient-rich soil amendment. Instead of sending these materials to landfills, composting returns valuable nutrients back to the earth and improves soil health. It is a simple way to make a meaningful impact.

International Compost Awareness Week 2026 starts today. All week long, we are celebrating how composting helps feed the soil that feeds us and supports healthier food systems, stronger communities, and a more sustainable future. Whether you compost at home or support large-scale programs, you are part of the solution.
