	~~{{Category=Soil~~ and ~~compost}}~~		[[File:Worms.jpg\|right\|400px]]Worms are a key part of most good local food systems. Their main purpose is to convert food waste into compost, which is excellent fertilizer for plants. Vermiculture is the practice of intensively farming worms; these worms then can be scattered around the garden, where they will improve the soil structure and nutrient profile, or they can be fed to small livestock like chickens.

			==Complementary use with [[Black Soldier Fly \| Black Soldier Flies]]==
			Worms and [[Black Soldier Fly \| Black Soldier Flies]] can have complementary uses in an [[Integrated Food and Waste Management System\|IFWMS]]. While BSFs are good for putrescent waste, worms may be better for later stages of composting. Both can be used sequentially ("cascading" use). The waste left over from BSFs is not yet finished compost but is a fine input for a vermicomposting system.
