Zero Waste Initiative
40% of post-farm produce does not reach kitchen tables, only to create further landfill stress, infestation & hygiene issues, and emitting Methane Gas directly related to Global Warming.
80% of potable water is used for agriculture, causing water stress and water footprint issues.
Why not recycle food waste streams (post-farm produce and food scraps) and help create a circular economy? Why not reuse to address food supply chain issues? Why not reduce landfill stress and curb GHG emissions?
Food security and the food supply chain are integral parts of sustainability. Why throw away resources?
ZERO HUNGER, ZERO WASTE will help captivate the attention of community engagements. The Provectus food waste recycling engagement is helping ZERO WASTE go to landfills, which helps curb GHG emissions while creating a food supply to meet food security. And helping "Regenerative Agriculture" best practices.
