Compost Culture: How a Birmingham Project is Turning Food Waste into a Community Revolution
Compost Connection is changing the way Birmingham deals with food waste. Through bokashi, hot composting, and no-dig gardening, this community-led project is creating a closed-loop system that feeds both soil and people — while tackling food justice, sustainability, and social change.


What to put in your bokashi bin
WRAP estimates that the UK discards 9.5 million tonnes of food waste yearly, a substantial portion of which was initially fit for consumption. This contributes to over 25 million tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions annually.
To combat this, Bokashi fermentation offers a solution. Unlike traditional composting, Bokashi doesn't emit foul odors. It efficiently breaks down various organic waste items, such as fruit and vegetable peelings, meat, dairy, and even paper products.
