The following is recommended with supportive information: • Include Irrigated Cropland (compost use) in the model with a low and high management scenario of 40,000 acres per year and 80,000 acres per year • Grasslands – compost amendment (state/private) -– Require CalTrans and Department of General Services and other state agencies to use compost following current state law and increase by over 10,000 acres per year • Have CalRecycle prepared the Fourth Assessment of California Compost and Mulch-Producing Infrastructure for 2017 • Link compost use on irrigated croplands to the implementation of the Five Pillars programs by diverting organics form landfills to mitigate methane and producing compost to support the Healthy Soil Initiative and • Starting 2018, have compost use (bulk and organic) be included in the County Crop Report and have CDFA and CalRecycle report compost use |
