An estimated 20% GHG emission reduction by combining add-value food processing and bio digestion with urban retail innovations to create a closed loop food system trying urban and rural capabilities together.
Can anyone guess a few skillsets climate scientists and policymakers aren't focused on?

Fun fact: just because a restaurant, hospital, school or casino buffet can't sell the food they cook at the end of the day doesn't make that food "waste". Still 👍 2 eat.
It's community's responsibility to provide a pathway for that company to divert the food we want to share.

Strange disconnect: We're desperate for climate solutions, yet largely ignore biodigesters - which turn methane-producing food waste into clean energy AND soil-building compost.
Are we missing a massive opportunity by mentally filing this under 'waste management' instead of 'climate action'?

Hot take: Our siloed thinking about climate solutions is causing us to overlook proven tech like biodigesters.
While we debate solar vs wind, we're sleeping on systems that tackle emissions, energy, AND soil health simultaneously.
Time to connect these dots?

Why do renewable energy discussions ignore biodigesters? They turn waste into energy AND soil health, yet rarely make headlines.
Is it because they're too local? Too complex? Because they don't fit neatly into our 'energy vs waste' mental models? Thoughts? 🤔
