This website is under construction. :)
Turning food waste into the next frontier for environmental action, education, & legislation.
ABOUT
Compostology was founded in 2020 by two high-schoolers, Angelina Xu and Advika Agarwal, with the aim of bringing food rescue and diversion to every school in Montgomery County, Maryland. Now a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we are pushing the movement for food waste consciousness nationwide. We fund and collaborate with schools to compost and donate food that would otherwise be wasted - up to 2000 lbs monthly per school - while fighting for policies to make these programs accessible.
We welcome new members who want to start programs in their schools, students who want to stay updated about advocacy opportunities, and potential partners who want to have a Zoom chat to learn more - please email us at any time to start your food to flowers journey with Compostology!
explore our website to learn about our goals, work, and how to support or get involved.
