By analyzing data from more than a thousand experiments, researchers found that targeted composting control measures can simultaneously reduce greenhouse gas emissions, suppress odors, and improve fertilizer quality. The findings demonstrate that composting—often viewed as environmentally friendly but imperfect—can be optimized to retain nutrients while sharply lowering methane, nitrous oxide, and ammonia emissions
