Gvsu Sustainable Agriculture Project: Composting, Jillian Ashton, Eric Vaitkevicius, Nicholas Keller, Benjamin Walling

Environmental and Sustainability Studies Undergraduate Projects

Currently, the S.A.P. (Sustainable Agricultural Project) has a working composting pile that isn’t reaching its full optimization potential, due to a lack in systems planning. Our group has worked toward analyzing the S.A.P.’s current processes to eliminate the inefficiencies and to maximize the quality of the composting process and product. This final product will be used to inoculate the S.A.P.’s nursery and planting beds to produce higher quality produce for the community.
