Every year, 80 million pounds of food are wasted, with 80% of it ending up in landfills. Their bio-digester technology converts food waste into nutrient-rich, reusable material through a proprietary process involving microbial digestion and dehydration. This process significantly reduces the volume of waste and produces a valuable byproduct that can be used as fertilizer or soil conditioner. Another partner, A1 Organics, takes the byproduct and turns it into high-quality compost that goes back to our partner farmers. This partnership ensures that food waste is not only diverted from landfills but also transformed into a valuable resource that supports sustainable agriculture and soil health.

Healthy soil produces healthy food. We are proud to partner with two companies dedicated to supporting soil health and recording our progress. These collaborations help us understand and enhance our positive impact on the environment. Zero Food Print partners with farmers and businesses to increase the amount of acreage under regenerative management, fighting climate change and creating healthy farms. Wolfe’s Neck Center is an agriculture research center focused on removing carbon from the atmosphere and putting it back in the land where it builds productive farms.Through these efforts, we are committed to fostering a healthier planet and delivering on our promise of sustainability.
