Planet Mundus

Food production is a lot more than what we consume. It’s about the process of growing and disposing of food. Komposten focuses on the latter. It’s a neighborhood-based food waste recycling network that uses a Japanese technology—called Bokashi—to make composting more efficient. The product is a nutrient-rich natural fertilizer, called humus, and a liquid product for houseplants, called Bokashi tea. They’re currently running a pilot project with 50 participants on Aarhus Ø, with the hopes of convincing the municipality to expand the solution city wide. By: Karis Hustad for Future Forward Aarhus
