The groups are offering support for affected businesses and communities so they may better understand and comply with the law.<\/p>\n<p>The partners aim to expand their education and outreach efforts to more North Country residents, businesses, farmers, institutions, and organizations to reduce the amount of food scraps and other organic materials going to landfills by converting them into beneficial compost for local farms and gardens.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBy reducing the threshold of waste generation rates by businesses, the law will transition from requiring compliance by large grocery stores and college and university campuses to now also impacting many more small and moderate-size grocery stores and many restaurants in our region,\u201d said Dr. Susan E.
