In this session, the audience will learn about the federal government's effort to reduce food loss and waste by 50% by the year 2030. This goal includes supporting anaerobic digestion (AD) research and infrastructure throughout the U.S. You'll hear about AD's place in the Food Recovery Hierarchy, its economic and environmental impacts, key AD resources like the AgSTAR Project Development Handbook, the results of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's latest survey of AD operators nation-wide, and our AD grants program.
