In her talk, Veera examines bokashi composting, a trending method of fermenting organic waste, as an example of alternative urban waste relations. She claims that bokashi is more than just a funky way of producing soil from leftovers; in all its mundane everydayness, bokashi practice has a capacity to radically transform waste relations as well as human-microbial relations in a more general sense.
