Celebrating 50 Years Of Composting Growth

IN composting circles, much attention is paid to the topic of maturity. While that subject is typically applied to the compost end product, it also can apply to the researchers, project managers, consultants and even a magazine publisher that populate the composting world! BioCycle magazine, (the “parent” of Compost Science & Utilization, well known to most of our readers), is proud to acknowledge 50 years of compost maturity, to be celebrated at the BioCycle International Conference 2009. This special event will take place in San Diego, April 27-30, 2009.
