Food waste continues to hurt the global economy and fuel climate change, nature loss, and pollution.
The confirms the enormity of the challenge of achieving the goal of ending hunger by 2030. In 2023, nearly 282 million people or 21.5% of the analysed population in 59 countries/territories faced high levels of acute food insecurity requiring urgent food and livelihood assistance.
The shows in 2022 there were 1.05 billion tonnes of food waste generated (including inedible parts), amounting to 132 kilograms per capita and almost one-fifth of all food available to consumers. Out of the total food wasted in 2022, 60% happened at the household level, with food services responsible for 28% and retail 12%.
Composting food waste can reduce methane emissions and create nutrient-rich soil for fertilizer.
As part of an environmental friendly initiative, instead of throwing food scraps in the regular trash and ending up in landfills with methane production, you put them in a compost pile or composting machine to avoid further soil, water, and air pollution. This dedicated compost pile or composting machine creates the proper environment for bacteria to decompose the organic waste. The process continues until the food scraps become a valuable mix of nutrients that nurture the soil and support plant growth. You also reduce greenhouse gas emissions and help combat climate change.
Making organic fertilizer from food waste is a way to turn leftovers into a natural and nutrient-rich soil amendment called compost. The compost enriches the soil with nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium that improve soil structure, better airflow, water retention, and microbial activity once released into the environment, essential for plant growth. The compost helps to balance pH levels, creating an environment conducive to optimal nutrient absorption by plants' roots, leading to healthier, more robust, more productive plants that resist pests and diseases. It works for yards, lawns, and fruit and vegetable gardens.
Beyond its physical benefits to plants and soil, making organic fertilizer from food waste promotes a sustainable lifestyle and a connection to nature. It realizes the value of recycling and waste reduction, transforming trash into resource. Moreover, composting encourages mindfulness and a sense of responsibility. Embrace this opportunity to reduce your carbon footprint, enrich the soil, and contribute to a healthier planet.
