I understand that composting helps break organics down faster, but in the grand scheme of things, wouldn’t food and other organics just end up naturally decomposing in a landfill anyways?

The key is with composting allowing oxygen to break down the organic material. The byproduct of organic material decomposing in an environment without oxygen is methane.

Not only is material that would benefit a compost being wasted, but it also creates a product that is harmful to it environment.
