Help Reverse Climate Change

&
Soil Degradation

Leading scientists estimate that Earth only has 60 years of topsoil left— let’s change that. There are over 13 million acres of farmland in Arkansas. Every dollar you give treats one acre with Living Soil amendments.

 What We Do

The mission of The Urban Food Loop Project is to reverse the effects of climate change by reducing methane emissions from landfills and to train farmers and gardeners to make and use compost and compost tea. We divert food waste from landfills to be converted into biologically tailored Living Soil compost and compost tea. Our team works with farmers and gardeners in urban and rural settings to use Living Soil compost and compost tea to increase food production and conservation efforts. Using Living Soil compost and compost tea increases farmers’ yields and profits, while decreasing farmers' reliance on tilling, synthetic fertilizers, and pesticides. Making and using Living Soil compost tea is a cost effective way to sequester carbon, restore degraded soils, and decrease greenhouse gas emissions. 

 

Why & How We Do It

 

Where We Started

Food waste and soil degradation statistics are why The Urban Food Loop Project launched. Learn about the niche market we created at the intersection of waste management, public policy, and agriculture.
