Abstract
Community composting is a key pillar of circular economy and sustainable food production. This paper presents the development of a regional composting network in Estrela UNESCO Global Geopark, using mobile technologies and geographic information systems. This design science research project presents the community composting model and the instantiation of a mobile solution layer. For theory, this paper reveals the concept of smart community composting inspired by the 5.0 movement expanding in society, cities, and industries. For practice, this work presents a mobile information system tailored for UNESCO Geoparks and their recently created GEOFood brand to promote sustainable production practices.
