About Joe Hoffman ...
I got my start in sustainable agriculture over twenty-five years ago and received a degree in Agronomy - International Agriculture and Natural Resources in 1994 from the University of Wisconsin. Since 1992, I have worked with and learned from farmers and researchers in Tennessee, Wisconsin, Mexico, and Ecuador.
Whether you are a small-scale farmer eking out a living on marginal cropland in a developing area or a state-of-the-art large-scale producer in the United States, you want to minimize waste and maximize efficiency.
The same is true for waste management systems. Influenced by those necessities and a fascination with the intricacies of microbiological processes, I was drawn to composting as a way for our communities to get the most out of their physical and economic resources.
If you're interested in starting a business like this, take a look at this guide. I use that site to explain how to do this.
