Small scale locally based, community composting such on an allotment or community garden, a local community centre or school composting the organic material produced on the site for use on the same site. A system of this type gives the locals full control while engaging and educating the allotment plot holders and the wider community in food systems, sustainability without significant financial outlay. In addition, it will result in the compost being used to enhance local soils, support local food production, and conserve the natural ecology of the site by improving soil structure, and soil microorganisms. Larger more formal schemes can involve materials being delivered to the site or kerbside collection and the sale of the finished product.
