Berea College in Kentucky launched a pilot program in the year 1998 to compost food residuals to generate an organic soil amendment and demonstrate the feasibility of responsible waste management. The program provided educational, research opportunities to students and the community, and has become a fundamental part of the College's garden and greenhouse program, the horticultural component of its 500-acre educational farm.
