Proving the Concepts That Create Change

Food Cycle

When there was nowhere locally to manage residential food waste, Solana Center created the pilot program that would prove the potential of community compost programs.

Research for Change

When a local business wanted to find solutions to the waste created by employees during lunch & breaks, Solana Center created a research program to find the answers they needed. 

Food Cycle on Farmlands

Looking to close the loop between farmers and retailers, Solana Center is piloting a program to connect food waste from grocery stores with local farmers to compost and land apply. 

Mid-Scale Composting Training Center

Seeing the needs of entities between backyard composting and large scale, Solana Center seeks to create a compost training center specifically for these mid-scale organizations.
