Kaicycle - Climate-Friendly Composting Workshop

It’s well known that composting is a lot better than throwing food scraps in landfill - reducing greenhouse gas emissions, returning nutrients to the soil, improving soil health and microbiology, sequestering carbon in the soil, and growing more kai. But... composting still produces greenhouse gas emissions. The recipe and the composting method used can hugely affect the amount of greenhouse gases emitted during the decomposition of organic materials, and the quality and biological composition of the resulting compost can have climate implications too.

Join us at Kaicycle Urban Farm to learn about a range of composting methods and the climate impact they have, and find out what practical techniques you can use to minimise emissions from composting at home and make the most healthy compost possible.

  • Kaicycle

    Kaicycle is an urban farm & composting initiative in Newtown that has been operating for 10 years. Our purpose is to develop a circular & resilient food system in Wellington. We do this by connecting people of all ages with the whenua, sharing our knowledge on organic & regenerative growing practices, collecting & composting food scraps from local businesses and households on e-bikes, and donating the kai we produce to the Home of Compassion soup kitchen and the Newtown Community Centre.
