Food scraps encompass those often discarded components of our meals, including:
vegetable peels,
bones,
eggshells,
meat trimmings,
and other forms of food waste.
These often-overlooked portions contain valuable nutrients, vitamins, and minerals that would typically go to waste. Furthermore, many of these food scraps can be repurposed or recycled, offering a promising avenue toward building a more sustainable food system.
This approach has the potential to mitigate the environmental impacts of food waste, contributing to the preservation of natural resources and the fight against climate change and greenhouse gas emissions.
