A. Food waste can be recycled through processes such as anaerobic digestion, through which bacteria break down organic matter and convert it into biogas and a nutrient-rich fertilizer, or through composting, which breaks it down into a soil amendment. Food waste can also be used as feed for animals in some areas. Recycling food waste helps to reduce the amount of food waste sent to landfills and provides a source of renewable energy and fertilizer that can improve soil quality.
