Who We Are
Compost Toronto is an emerging citywide network of neighbours, educators, gardeners, and land stewards committed to restoring living soils and urban biodiversity through community-based composting. Founded in 2022, our work integrates ecological science, grassroots action, and collaborative care to regenerate soil health across Toronto.
Our Mission
We believe healthy soil is at the heart of healthy communities.
Through biological composting, education, and hands-on collaboration, we’re creating a more resilient Toronto—one compost pile at a time.
We envision a future with thriving soils, vibrant green spaces, and communities rooted in care and regeneration.
Inspired by the work of Dr. Elaine Ingham and the Soil Food Web School, we celebrate composting as a living process that reconnects us with nature, nourishes our food systems, and reduces our dependence on harmful chemicals.
Our mission is to learn, share, and build high-quality compost together, restoring the soil’s microbial life and honouring our role as caretakers of the land..
