Food Waste Action Week: The School That Refused to Treat Food Like Rubbish
During Food Waste Action Week, Llanfoist Fawr Primary School in Wales is showing how food waste can become a resource. Using Bokashi and a “Big Friendly Composter”, pupils are turning school lunch leftovers into compost while learning about soil, microbes and the circular economy.
How UK Households Can Compost Food Waste at Home: Bokashi Fermentation and the Future of Local Recycling
Food waste doesn’t have to go to landfill, incineration or AD plants. Discover how Bokashi fermentation lets UK households recycle food waste at home and support composting, soil health and community gardens.
Wales’ First Hybrid Bokashi & Ridan School Composting System
Llanfoist Fawr Primary School has become the first school in Wales to implement a hybrid Bokashi and Ridan composting system, safely transforming cooked food waste, meat and dairy into nutrient-rich compost in just 90 days — creating a true seed-to-soil circular economy on site.

Food waste has been treated primarily as fuel for too long. While anaerobic digestion plays a role, it often comes at the cost of lost nutrients and carbon. Bokashi fermentation offers a soil-first alternative, protecting nutrients before they are lost and returning food waste to soils where it can rebuild fertility and resilience.
