Hello BESTers,
This week I have an article about food waste recycling that's happening
right here in Florida. In Bartow, Organic Matters Inc. has been
recycling food waste into animal feed for nearly 13 years. They are
currently recycling 1,000 tons of food waste per week, which primarily
consists of bakery waste from Publix and Butterkrust Bakery. This not
only benefits these companies by recycling their waste, but also
benefits local farmers by providing a high-quality, inexpensive feed
source. More enterprises like this are needed in order to connect the
dots for a sustainable food systems.
Have a great weekend,
Ryan
