Theme for ICAW 2023:
For Healthier Soil, Healthier Food…Compost!
The globally spread ICAW event originated from Canada, for almost three decades it has become the largest educational activity in the field of composting. It is supported by the Ministry of the Environment of the Czech Republic.

Cut back on citrus peels, too
