CTV
Ont.-based Wastenot farms is transforming the organic waste of Toronto-area companies into nutrient-rich manure, diverting it from methane-producing landfills.
Jocelyn Molyneux has an army of around a million red wiggler worms at her Caledon, Ont.-based Wastenot farms, diverting the organic waste of Toronto-area companies from methane-producing landfills and instead transforming it into nutrient-rich manure.
“We’re starting to see how important soil is in our fight against the climate crisis,” Molyneux told CTV News Channel on Sunday.
“Healthy soil grows healthier food, and it makes us more resilient to the changes in climate we’re seeing. Healthy soils are able to resist these changes and continue to grow healthier food.”
Molyneux also discussed how healthy soil can compensate for extra carbon in the air.
