DRISHTI COMPOST - VIRGINIA BEACH

Sustainable food waste solutions start with us!

Drishti Compost, a nonprofit based in Virginia Beach, is committed to diverting food scraps from landfills. Our mission is to advocate for sustainability and promote the concept of closing the loop through educational initiatives aimed at schools, businesses, houses of worship, and individuals across Hampton Roads.

Our closed-loop food circle embodies a sustainable system where food waste is recycled and reused within the same ecosystem, forming a continuous cycle. By composting food scraps instead of sending them to landfills, we create nutrient-rich compost that enriches the soil for growing new crops, thus completing the loop. This approach minimizes waste, reduces environmental impact, and fosters the regeneration of natural resources.

We are dedicated to facilitating a sustainable transition, ensuring that food is not wasted but instead returned to the soil to nurture the next cycle of life.
