Agriculture, food waste and waste management generate more CO2 than all the cars, trucks, trains, and boats in Canada. Emerging circular approaches are mitigating green house gasses (GHGs) by using composting, mushrooms, and edible insect bioreactors to transform urban agri-food waste into food or fertilizers. Microorganisms in the bioreactors affect the digestibility of agri-food residues, GHGs, and how the by-products improve soil and crop health. In a unique urban living laboratory, this project will use(...)
