Converting food waste to animal feed – Expert Guide

In an era of planetary strains and skyrocketing food demands, our instinctive reflex is to produce more, plant more, and harvest more. We’re fixated on the output, ignoring a very real problem this overproduction creates: food waste.

Every year, millions of tons of food are discarded and end up in U.S. landfills. This problem not only results in an enormous loss of valuable resources but also contributes to environmental degradation. Food waste and climate change are inherently linked. It’s mainly because decomposing food in landfills generate a substantial amount of methane, a potent greenhouse gas.

In this article, we’ll explore the process of converting food waste into animal feed, the types of feed that we can produce, and the laws and regulations to consider.
