We’re Regenerating Bristol’s soils, communities, and future...

we are Generation Soil CIC

Generation Soil is helping the transition to a circular food system in Bristol by transforming food waste into nutrient-rich compost to rejuvenate city soils. Our educational workshops empower residents to partake in sustainable practices, fostering a healthier environment and community. By engaging with us, you're contributing to a greener city and supporting local sustainability efforts. Join us in creating a thriving urban ecosystem through community urban farming.

Our Mission
Regeneration Through Community Composting

Our new two-acre food forest market garden is transforming compacted farmland into a thriving ecosystem. Powered by local compost and community care, it’s where we grow nutrient-rich food, biodiversity, and connection right here in Bristol.
