What is happening to the nutrients in a compost pile?
Breakdown and solubilization are the happenings to nutrients in compost piles. The nutrients decompose through consumption and excretion by macro- and micro-organisms. The waste products emerge as soluble macro- and micro-nutrients that can be taken in by soils and by such soil food web members as plant roots.

How can a compost pile improve the soil of a garden?
Provision of macro- and micro-nutrients and of macro- and micro-organisms are ways that compost piles improve garden soils. Macro- and micro-nutrients can be deficient, excessive or present but inaccessible or unavailable if the form is not soluble whereas air and water pore spaces may be absent or sparse without the tunneling activities of macro-organisms. Compost piles promote ecosystems that have the air, moisture and nutrients that soil food web members, such as plant roots, and soils need through their incorporation of living and once-living animal and plant matter.

It really depends on how much processing has been done on the food, whether high heat has been used on it, the soil it was grown in, etc.
How does genetically modified food changed man's life?
