Description
Creative menu planning reduces food waste by repurposing scraps, optimizing shopping, and composting leftovers.
Technical
When food scraps are composted, microbial consortia break down complex carbohydrates, proteins, and fats into simpler molecules such as CO₂, CH₄, and humic acids. The process involves aerobic respiration under controlled temperature and moisture, producing biochar‑like humus that enriches soil fertility.
