American growers are feeling the pressure of rising fertilizer prices as the war in the Middle East continues to impact global markets, demonstrating U.S. vulnerability in relying on synthetic and mineral fertilizers produced overseas.

Compost, which has long-term benefits for plant growth, is often overlooked in discussions surrounding the current fertilizer cost crisis. Compost is a locally-produced tool to improve the resiliency of American agricultural systems and mitigate the consequences of future crises such as the one currently facing American farmers and consumers.

The US Composting Council (USCC) and the Institute for Local Self-Reliance (ILSR) are urging Americans to consider compost as a solution amid rising fertilizer prices. BioCycle recently published an article that demonstrates the power of compost as an American-made tool for improving the resiliency of our food system. The article includes contributions from USCC, ILSR, and regenerative farmers across the country. You can find the article here: https://www.biocycle.net/compost-fertilizer-crisis-solution/
