World Soil Day: Nurturing the Earth Beneath Our Feet
On World Soil Day, we honor the vital role soil plays in sustaining life on Earth. Did you know that 95% of the food we eat begins with healthy soil? Yet, soil faces mounting challenges like erosion, pollution, and loss of biodiversity. At Agriton, we’re turning waste into rich, life-giving soil through innovations like bokashi composting and biochar. These methods not only enrich soil health but also combat climate change by storing carbon. Join us in celebrating soil’s power to nourish, sustain, and heal our planet. Together, let’s protect the ground beneath our feet for future generations. 🌱
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.
