ILSR\u2019s July 2014 report, Aumentar la fertilidad local: gu\u00eda para el compostaje comunitario<\/i><\/b>, describes successful initiatives, their benefits, tips for replication, key start-up steps, and the need for private, public, and nonprofit sector support. Produced in collaboration with the Highfields Center for Composting<\/a> in Hardwick, Vermont, Growing Local Fertility<\/i> profiles 31 model programs in 14 states and the District of Columbia. Programs range from urban to rural and include demonstration\/training sites, schools, universities, pedal-powered collection systems, worker-owned cooperatives, community gardens, and farms employing multiple composting techniques. Many but not all are non-profit mission driven enterprises.\u00a0 Their distinguishing feature is keeping the process and product as local as possible while engaging the community through participation and education.<\/p>\r\n
