Compost is essential to sustainable agriculture.
It is the most important way to renew the minerals that cultivation and harvest take away.
It is also a great way to sequester carbon, as all the composted organic matter decomposes as humus. That humus is also critical for the health and growth of the roots and therefore of the whole plant. Humus traps more water, reducing erosion and leaching, and also releases more water when the soil gets dry, it acts as a buffer to protect the plants from the variabilities of the weather.
