Sorry I missed your comments, haven't been on this platform in a while. To respond, municipal scale biodigesters operate in tons per hour and can capture methane as a utility. Biodigestate is still basically compost with live bacteria.

Here's the opportunity: position a large scale commercial kitchen as a sorting mechanism in a major city, use it to redirect edible food back into the community, compost everything else. Create small targeted community grocery for distro support. Rinse, scale, repeat.

The single most potent weapon in THAT fight is bio digesters, which also has happen to be a funding priority for the US government INCLUDING the incoming administration, who is also the architect of the Opportunity Zone Strategy.

Get the picture yet?

We have to develop different strategies, and one strategy that holds massive promise is focusing on transitioning to regenerative farming and supporting massively increased carbon sequestration and massively reduced methane emissions from food waste and manure.

I'm a veteran, and in actual fact I am talking about a war footing. Let me break it down further to clarify: the endless battle against fossil fuel is usage is as failed as the drug war.

Climate scientists ignore workable strategies at about the same rate in both platforms though 🤷

Check out this breakdown of Project Drawdown's recent meta analysis through the Nexus and Nodes food system redesign I developed. Doesn't require policy changes so can be accomplished entirely through economic investment.

Lmk if you want to explore the plans.

There's still a path to reverse climate change, but protesters are going to have to start getting creative. The effective way to create change isn't to demand change, it's to develop alternate systems that make the old ones obsolete. Then you position better to demand change... as a stakeholder.

Congrats Ana! I'll be curious to learn whether BERN is paying attention to the climate impacts possible through regenerative ag, since many academicians reject ag focused solutions here in the US because they aren't largely tech based so less sexy research.

I'm interested in sharing my expertise on food waste and its impact on communities and planet. Recently published a book that explored market aligned solutions. What's your signup process?

Any interest in developing new markets with rescued food to increase impact? PDX can support regenerative farmers and keep good food out of landfills, with massive potential for food access and health.

Funny you should mention that... Turns out food professionals, non-profit leaders and climate scientists all have reasons to NOT discuss access. There's a proven path but no one wants to change.

We still don't like to talk about the root of the problem, much less deal with it.

My account is showing anon?! I'll have to check settings, says Food System Hackers on my end. They're the name of the public benefit company I formed to advocate climate strategies I developed. Here's my book link if you're curious. a.co/d/7dPlQqj

Here's an option you haven't seen yet. Building a pilot in Colorado and focused on leveraging incoming admin priorities to fund it, feel free to help share the love!

Corporations have been sneaking poison into our food for decades, you really think it's irrational to assume the worst when they put yet another additive in without bothering to explain the logic? People aren't as dumb as decision makers think we are. I support the additive but I get the concerns.

This is cute, but he's missing the real problem. Dems have been moving away from democracy since 2016 when they decided they would rather lose to GOP than hand the reins to Sanders. Fake "Bernie Bros" smears, to every other opponent bending the knee to Biden in 2020, to unelected Harris in 2024. 💯💯💯

That's because the groups in charge of deciding policy routinely refuse to consider ideas outside their silos. While charities are pulling their hair out I'm looking forward to leveraging Opportunity Zones and rural production capacity to accelerate carbon sequestration and reduce food waste.
