Yes as a part of a balanced program. It really is a waste of resources to throw garbage and food waste into a landfill where it decomposed anaerobically and produces poisonous methane, a hot house gas. In Hawaii where they garden on rich lava bereft of organics the farmers all scramble to find any organic stock to mix in with the mineral "soil"

Compost increases root growth which helps hold down the soil, preventing it from blowing or washing away. All indigenous farmers for 1,000's of year have known to add manure, including their own human-manure to their fields, to reduce soil depletion. Ray :the compost Guru
