- Tilth Soil, unlike many commercially manufactured soils has as its main source of nitrogen food waste. By helping to divert food from entering landfills Tilth Soil, in partnership with their sister company, Rust Belt Riders, are actively helping to combat climate change due the massive impact food waste has on the global climate crisis. When food enters landfills, as it all too often does, it emits harmful methane gas which is a potent accelerator of global climate change.
