As former engineer, Naomi is driven by solutions. Once frustrated when throwing her food scraps into the landfill bin, Naomi decided to design and build a mid-scale decentralized composting facility perfect for composting a full community's worth of organic waste on a footprint so small its permit-exempt. Imagine a world where we revive our soils with nutrients from our discarded food, hyper-locally; that’s what she’s building.
