Compost contains significant amounts of undegraded biomass, some of which can be transformed into food for humans or animals. Examples are vermicomposting and the production of black soldier flies. With a sufficient amount of compost input, a farm could theoretically focus largely on the production of feed/food from compost as a business model (products: compost, fish/chicken food). In the approach taken by Karl Hammer of Vermont Compost, chickens range freely on large compost piles (products: eggs, chickens, compost).
