California Alliance for Community Composting Project: Desert Compost

Vision: Desert Compost serves as a catalyst for social change and climate resilience that will strengthen our communities and help heal our planet.

Mission: Desert Compost serves as the definitive resource for composting in the Coachella Valley through advocacy, consulting, and education

Values: Desert Compost organized as a Coachella Valley community initiative in 2021. In 2022 we became a fiscally sponsored project of the non-profit, CA Alliance for Community Composting.

We are passionate about:

• strengthening local food systems
• Reducing landfill waste
• Restoring our soil
• Helping our neighbors learn about composting as a way to conserve water, grow healthy food, and sequester carbon, which reduces greenhouse gas emissions and fights climate change.

We want to heal our environment and keep organic resources close to home.
