Abstract: Abstract Community composting is an essential facet of circular economy and sustainable food production. Our contribution based on design science research presents the development of a regional composting network in Estrela UNESCO Global Geopark. The community composting model uses mobile technologies and geographic information systems. This paper details the instantiation of the mobile solution layer and proposes a plan to scale-up the model to the entire region. The theoretical contribution of this paper is the concept of smart community composting inspired by the 5.0 movement expanding in societies, cities, and industries. For practice, our work presents a mobile information system customized for UNESCO Geoparks and their recently created GEOfood brand to promote sustainable production practices.
