Soil plays a much bigger role in the spread of antibiotic resistance than one might imagine, new research indicates.

    Funneling curbside composting to farms would probably help. And would cut down on food waste and the need for more landfill space.

      No,sadly it would make matters worse. Household/curbside composting has huge issues with multiresistant bacterial growth, drug residue,etc. That egg shell someone added? Congratulations, you have a high chance of adding certain multiresistant strains+residue of drugs used in poultry. There is a reason why a lot of countries do not allow that near professional food production.
