Project Drawdown’s 2020 Review cites food waste reduction as the Number One solution in a list of 80+ solutions for combating climate change. Meet food industry leaders committed to pivot unavoidable food waste from a detrimental source of damaging greenhouse gas to carbon-negative renewable natural gas; a powerful tool to fight climate change.
Three founding members of the Farm Powered Strategic Alliance discuss their positions on food waste, renewable energy, and greenhouse gas emissions in this Q&A.
While zero-waste initiatives in the US gained momentum in 2019 and early 2020, myriad complications related to the pandemic brought many to a screeching halt. But as we transition from emergency mode, there have been restarts.
Vanguard Renewables is thrilled to share with you that we just launched the Farm Powered Strategic Alliance (FPSA) along with our founding partners Unilever, Starbucks, and Dairy Farmers of America.
Together with food manufactures, retailers and farmers, Vanguard Renewables is designing a path to lower carbon emissions and mitigate climate change. Everyday, we recycle unavoidable food waste and farm waste into carbon negative renewable natural gas and low carbon fertilizer.
In 2021, Vanguard Renewables will process nearly 500,000 tons of organic waste into renewable energy.
Farmers talk about the benefits of hosting a Farm Powered anaerobic digester on their farm including a diversified income stream to sustain the farm for future generations. They also reflect on overall benefits to the farm including regenerative agriculture best practices, increased crop yields and milk production, herd health, greenhouse gas reduction, manure management, and community relations.
The pandemic has forced us, as a nation, to focus on the issues of environmental and personal health. How food is manufactured and how it is disposed of turns out to have direct and significant impact on both the personal health of the American Consumer as well as on our environment.
The remarkable thing about food waste is that it can become either a dangerous greenhouse gas or an incredible ingredient to produce renewable energy and low carbon fertilizer. The deciding factor is based entirely on how we dispose of it.
