About this opportunity

Zero Foodprint is working with local municipalities to facilitate compost purchasing so that each region's compost can be put to best use sequestering carbon and promoting healthy soil. There is a set price per ton of compost reimbursed (not a full reimbursement). "Compost Connector will continue accepting applications through October (and possibly beyond), but we currently have a long list of applicants, and we've given out all of our available funding. We hope to secure additional funding in the coming months and will do our best to provide grants to as many growers as possible"
