This podcast, produced by the Recycling Council of Alberta, aims to share inspiring projects and leading local, national and international ideas about changing behaviours, and policies to create a Circular Economy.
Welcome to On the Cusp - Alberta’s circular podcast. In this episode, we’re going to talk about compost. With the goal to advance a circular economy, the RCA has been leading a composting project that aims to engage farmers in compost processing on the farm and using that compost to add nutrients back into the soil. This project has been made possible by the Government of Canada and the Government of Alberta through the Canadian Agricultural Partnership. In this episode, we’re joined by the RCA’s executive director, Christina Seidel and the RCA’s compost expert, John Paul.
For more information, visit the RCA website, where you can find the publications created as a result of this project, including photos of Stickland Farms and further information on starting your own on-farm composting operation.
