About Course

Does organic waste form the majority of what you or your community throw away? Is it all just going to the landfill, but you want to do something else about it? Then this is the best ‘Get Started course’ for you.

In this 4-part course, you will learn the fundamentals of starting to compost in tropical climates, which present unique challenges such as high moisture content or dry periods. This technique can be applied whether you want to compost at home, start a community composting initiative or form a base for your medium-large scale composting project.

We cover topics such as:

  • The benefits of composting
  • How to build and maintain your compost systems
  • Tips and tricks

And so much more. We also will have a Q & A session post your completion of this course to answer any other burning questions you may have. Now you get to learn this process on your own time no matter where you are in the world. Whether you are already familiar with the process or just starting from scratch, this course will act as a ‘hand-holder’ to set your mind at ease and/or help troubleshoot any existing problems you may face. So, let’s jump in and get started!
