Compost Entrepreneur Himkaar Singh
In 2017 there was a bad drought in SA and I felt like we weren't doing enough to manage it. So I left the country to try and find a solution - I started a Masters degree in Water Management in Germany.
I lived in Germany, Vietnam and Jordan for 5 months each to experience different extremes of water management... I found that the soil is the most important component of the water cycle and in order to fix the water scarcity issue of SA we need to heal the soil.
Healing the soil means putting organic matter back into the soil because organic matter makes the soil act like a sponge. The soil can then hold onto rainwater better and recharge our groundwater systems.
I then figured out that a business was the best model I could use to get food waste (organic matter) back into the soil through composting.
In 2019 I developed The Compost Kitchen which has the purpose of repairing SA's soil using compost made from food waste. It's been fulfilling because so many people have connected with me on similar interests - I hope you will too.
